Buy whichever one you like, each has its own pros/cons, off the batt... teggys have better stock engines, but take to consideration also, that civics with the exact same swap, stock for stock, the civic will win because of the power/weight ratio....

just search dude

Depends on the civic. I would take an EF/EG over a teg anyday, but I would take the teg over the EK.

Civic: better gas mileage, lower insurance, weak power
Integra: less gas mileage than civic, higher insurance than civic, higher power

I think this depends largly on the year and modle between the two. A civic Si with a b16 stock, is gonna be faster then the integra ls with the b18 non vtec. On the same lines an Integra 97-01 gsr ( I think) Had the b18 c1 while earlier GSRs ( i think first gens) had b17s. Also, you should take into consideration your personal preferences, the civic has extremly different styling from the integra, and yet another factor is whats available in the area? If you could snatch up a 92 civic hatch back with a GSR swap and limited miles, for around 5k Or you can get that GSR motor in a integra for 8-18k. Your question is really to broad to give you an answer thats based on anything more then opinion. That being said, get a Del Sol and never look back

I say get a teg, but I love them. 2nd gen GSR's had the B17.

An Si B16 may be faster than a LS B18, but with a head swap you got LS/VTEC, bout the same HP and more torque. As a rule of thumb for me (but not always the case, I love my Sol) Acura>Honda and Both> anything else

actually on most Ls/vtec setups... you lost torque but you gain a tad bit more HP.... coming from the LS setup that is.... if you went from B16 to ls/vtec then less HP, more torque....
