that mainly depends on your budget. if you got fairly deep pockets, you might consider putting in a b18c or itr engine in there; if your pockets are fairly shallow (like mine), the b18b and b18a respond well to boost due to their low compression ratios. money makes the world go round .

But yes, RS/GS share same motor/tranny. The only differences are that RS do not have sunroofs or as many accesories

tough question that only you can answer. personally, id plan it all out and get the turbo. btw, ebay is your friend when it comes to shallow pockets. if you want any advice on what to or not to get on ebay, just email me and ill help ya out.

LS/V-tec is just as expensive as turbo if built right, so it doesn't blow the hell up.
By the way, for the money, the RS is a great model many weight reductions and all you have to do is lock your own doors, keep your foot on the gas the whole time, learn to brake right, and deal without the reading lamps.

Actually, it depends on the year. The 90-91 Integra RS and LS had 125hp, while the GS had 130.

For the 92 year, all models with the B18A got engine improvements and were 140hp accross the board, while the GSR got the B17A with 160hp.
