Default Want to J Swap my 95 GSR

Can someone point me to the right direction to J Swap my 1995 Acura Integra GSR. I was looking through Wiki for the highest output engine which is a J37A4 from a 2009-2014 Acura TL SH-AWD of 305 hp and 273 lbs of torque.

It has been done:
Honda J-Series - Engine Swap - Honda Tuning Magazine
Doesn't look like an easy swap though.

some j-swaps are drive by wire, not an easy swap when wiring is involved.

You would probably want to swap a J32a2 and if you want more power, build it.

I don't mean to discourage you, but if your idea of adding power to your Integra is to scroll through Wikipedia and search for the highest stock hp Honda motor than you probably shouldn't be doing this. It would be a very extensive project with fabrication and cutting work both inside the engine bay and probably cabin as well. A lot of wiring to do, etc etc. The amount of money you'd spend to do this swap could be put into building and boosting your current engine. It would be a cheaper, easier, reliable way to get lots of horsepower.

Yeah your right... When I calculate the cost from Super Street article it way over $4k and for a fraction amount of money I can just boost then be done with it.

If you know what you're doing there are some things you can do yourself without costing an arm and a leg. The wiring is most important. Everything else is finding parts.

I' in the middle of a (true) 03 j32a2 6sp swap in a ek coupe. The swap, mounts, shift box, shift cables are all the easy part of the swap if you do the work yourself. The harness will need to be from the donor car and your teg. Don from j32a.com, Wireworx, chase bays, Richies, or tuck tech can build your harness and delete the immobilizer out of the ecu. Then it will be plug n play. Or you have have the harness modified to plug into a AEM EMS V2. Then you will have a stand alone unit for tuning. Research is the key. Do as much reading as you can. Find people with or has done the swap. That helps a bunch.
