engine swap?
Ok, i currently own a 91 integra RS and from what i know it is a B18A-1. I am looking to get a new engine in February and was wondering what engines i should think abuot and get your opinions. I was personally thinking a GS-R. I live in Canada and i believe it will cost me roughly 2 grand. Also i was wondering if i get a new engine what other parts will i have to replace. i.e. Exhaust
Thanks for the help

you have a few options.
since your car is non-obd, you will have to "upgrade" to obd-1 for a gs-r swap
you could get a non obd b16 swap but of course, it wouldnt provide you with as much power. that is an option that many g2 guys go with, for ease and affordability.
yet another option is an ls-vtec build. try a search and you will find plenty of info on this option.
because your car has a cable clutch, if you go with 94+ gs-r swap you will need to get yourself a cable-hyrdo conversion kit.
you will have to get a gs-r header and if its the same as putting a gs-r swap in a 3rd gen, the exhaust lenghts are slightly different. i think you can get something to compensate for the difference so you dont have to swap out entire exhaust.
