I haven't run the 1/4 yet because I installed my b18b1 this fall. The power/torque gain is huge. I would deffinately recommend a ls swap. Good bang for the buck!

With a a basic turbo kit you can run a high 13 if your a good driver.

Aren't you selling your car?

I have never ran my car, but from people i know with ls turbo they run mid 13's. With some afc tuning on 9psi probably low 13's. LS turbo makes some good numbers and very nice torque.

Your lighter then an Integra. Every pund counts when racing. Like I said I've seen people run mid low 13s with BASIC B18B turbo set ups.

If your selling your car why spend money on it that you could spend on buying your new car. That's just my opinion

while on the topic, I have been tossing the idea around about doing an ls swap bc of the torque gains. does anyone have any links to a reliable place to order motors (that isn't rediculously expensive). i know hmo has them for 2200, and i've only heard good things about them

I know osaka has the longblock for $600. You could probably find everything else you would need from a salvage yard. And get an aftermarket ecu.
