Default Need some opinions on engine setup

ok here's my situation I'm stuck at deciding what would be a good winter project for my engine I have a B16A with crower 63402 cams, dual valve springs, TI retainers, Raidiused valve job done on head, ITR Intake mainfold, Str Fuel Rail, Stock injectors balanced and blueprinted, B+M regulator, DC 4-2-1 header and DC intake. Since my car (1991 CRX Si) got wreaked I have bought a 90 Integra RS now since getting this car I've thinking about going LS/VTEC since I already have the LS engine, But I've also been thinking about CRV/VTEC or a turbo setup for the B16A. I'm looking for decent relibilty since this will be in a street car. So let me know what route I should take

bfast is correct there is no replacement for displacement..
however since you have a ls motor already, why not do a ls/vtec and turbo.?? Take your b16 head and slap it in (with minor mod) to your ls block and then boost that sucker up!

I guess it really depends on you, if you want to go turbo or all motor. Both CRV/vtec and ls/vtec is a good set-ups for all motor. Since you have a integra they are very heavey and you would probably go with the b20 bottom end. But going with a turbo kit would make you very different from everyone else and you would be able to make an extra 100 Hp+ to the wheels with a turbo kit. We recommed the DRAG turbo kit. Since we carry DRAG we know all about it and it is the best street and strip turbo kit in the market. You could also just get the turbo kit for you LS motor, we have installed a Drag turbo kit in a STOCK LS and seen put down 325HP to the wheels.

thanks for all the feed back guys I was kinda thinking LS/VTEC with turbo these past few days but here's the critical question for anyone with a LS/VTEC if this motor is built with high proformance rods and pistons will it be safe to rev to at least 8500 rpm on a semi-daily basis because if I cant rev at least that high I will most likly just stick with the B16A and turbo that

hey 11sec.ALL MOTOR what kind of price would I be looking at for the DRAG kit for my car (90 RS integra) for that LS/VTEC swap I am assuming it would be in the $2900-$3000 range as that is what the 94-97 teg kit is priced for on your site.
