how many threads are you going to start about the b18a's?

There as good as B18b. Almost any b-series engine rocks

first we need to know your goals.

if you are going to drive it around every day from here to there then intake, header exhaust, and some cams might be good enough for some people...other people are still wanting more after a fully built engine, or even a turbo kit.

its up to you, my suggestion, find someone with a modified integra and see how you like theirs.

They are 130 hp the only difrence between those and the b18a2 and b18b is that it is 10 hp less and cams and intake manifold is difrent. They are a good motor to go turbo with and a cheep motor to get ahold of

Your header will become useless once you get a turbo kit.
