General Question with very many Answers
I have just completed my suspension work on my 2000 GS. New Shocks and struts, springs, and strut tower, rear tower and sway bars. This coming summer I plan to convert the Auto tranny to a GSR Tranny. Likewise, I am still not sure how to go about my engine:
Either Supercharge the B16B1 (JR Supercharger) or go all motor and perform a full JDM ITR Swap?
Assuming I go the Supercharger route, what are some motor upgrades that I can perform now that would be reasonable, i.e. no real pulling apart of the engine and what not.
I know its a general question but I want to do this whole thing the right way and want to get a good sense of my options. In addition, I want to squeeze a few more horses out of my current engine. Was thinking stuff along the lines of a new manifold, some recommendations for a quiet exhaust. Things like that.
Thanks

First of all I hope you meant B18B1 and not B16B, because buying a CTR motor and supercharging it would be a waste of money in an Integra...
The usually bolt ons that help for NA (I/H/E) etc, are going to help for FI as well. The graphs of supercharged engines I have seen make power at extremely high RPM so to take full adavantage of that curve you would need some internal work to be stable at high RPM.
This is why, to me, superchargers make more sense on a VTEC motor...
But of course, turbo just has higher gains in general for a small displacement motor.
