Think I'm just going to go with the turbo and accessories (innercooler, boost controller, ect.....), instead of the engine swap I was considering. I have 120k miles on it, and yes just kidding about the flux capacitor. Thanx for the responces.
There was once actually someone who posted here cause his friend told him that his flux capacitor was failing...

Intercooler. Take a little while to learn all the parts and what they do before you build the car, it'll help you later.

how long are you planning on having this car for? 120k miles isn't a whole lot for an acura but if you're into streetracing it might be worth it to do a GS-R engine swap...a turbo on a LS with that many miles on it may not be be the best path to take for long-lasting performance. the turbo maintenance might make it not worthwile plus if you drive it hard you're risking your engine blowing. not likely but something to think about...Turbo kits are pretty expensive too, especially for a good one and integras aren't made to be turbo-charged. i'm not saying that they can't be turbocharged but in my opinion there are better ways to go about modifying integras. my gsr is all motor and i am happy with it (dyno tested 200 hp). it's quick as hell and the stage 3 cams are radical. hondata is definitely something to look into also. if i were you i would find a GS-R engine with low miles and do a swap.
