okay im pretty new into this im getting acura integra ls dont ask year cause ill be getting it when i return from my trip more likely 1994+ but i would like to know what type of engine to put in it money is not so much issue but dont want to spend to much and also ill be adding some bolt-ons i at least want something that get me to 250+hp and also i dont know what to go with turbo or super someone told me super better if i plan using the car on a daily bases (which ill be doing) and turbo if i plan on doing racing so please help me out!!

keep the stock engine and turbo it. thats the only way you'll get 250+whp.

well i was thinking of it but most of the teg's ive been looking at have 150k miles on it and i dont think thats good to put a turbo on such used engine that has that many miles. so wouldnt it be better if i got jdm motor that has 50k and less miles on then a 150k+ or does it not matter.

Snoopy

first, you never know how many actual miles are on a jdm or any used motor. the place you buy it from will advertise certain miles, but there's no way to be sure.

once you do buy a teg, do leakdown and compression tests on the engine. if those come out good, boost away. or do a rebuild and have a fresh engine.

Devil_Jin

so your saying rebuild will be better than getting a new engine?

Snoopy

imo, of course. replace all the seals, bearings, and gaskets, and you have a practically new engine. with a used engine, you have no idea how good those things are until you actually get the engine. then you may have to do a rebuild anyways. do it right and save yourself a little money and just rebuild whatever engine is stock.

okay thanks for the help i think ill have idea what to do now
