So check this out. I am getting a 1992 Integra, Its like an rs or ls or something. Anyway here is the cool part. It was $1500. It was bought at a dealership and serviced there, infact the same place I am buying it. Also only 70k miles. YES 70k!!! It is a 5 speed as well. Anyway, i need some help here. I want to make an engine build for it, but I don't really know what to do. Should I stick with the b18a1 and swap the head, or should i get a c1 block, i just do not know what to do cause the engine has such low miles. Please also write out the cost of each option. I might also want to turbo it infact. So in conclusion, I want to make a list of every option, the price of the option, and the stuff required to do it. Integras rock!!!

:lol::laugh::rolf: lol kid this isnt a research paper. relax and welcome to the club.

:nopics:

and first off... i dont care what the records or dealership say... do ALL of the 100K mile maintenance. will probably cost about 150-200 bucks. the car will love you for it and drive like new.

If it truly has 70K original miles, I'd leave the engine alone. That is a unique specimen of virgin quality. Start with suspension work and wheels. I'd make it a looker before I bastardize a cherry engine.

I would buy another ls block and build it from there. And leave your 70k mile block as a backup so f your lsvtec fails you can swap your motor back in over a day or two!

Plus it'll resell better as a "stock" car vs a modded one
