Default engines for integras?

i know alot about hondas and not that much about integras but i know there very alike. i was looking at buying this 1990 integra 2 door with 94,00 miles for like $1,800. i want to know the motor thats in it but im not sure if its ls, rs, gs-r or anything. so if you know the engine let me know. also i want to boost the engine right when i get it what would be a good setup for deascent money. what tips should i know? heres one i was looking at, take a look and let me know if its good.
thanx

the 1990 Integra line-up only used the B18A1 motor.

LS GS AND RS is b18a1 and the GSR is a b17. You going to boost on stock internals?

the B17A was the DOHC VTEC motor in the 92-3 GSR (only G2 years the GSR was available)

Yeah we can tell.... by the way, acura = honda with a shiny "A" symbol

Anyways,
ls gs and rs are all trim models that have the same motor
the only difffernt motor would be the gsr and there isnt one that was made 90-91. only 92-93 (and obviously 94 and up)

A turbo setup for decent (<-- thats how u spell it btw) money would most likely be either a custom junkyard setup or a greddy kit. Neither of which i would say would be a "good" setup for you because of the reason below.

Some "tips" you should know... hmm... Well don't boost on a stock motor ever (for the most part) and most DEFINATELY don't boost on a motor that is 15 years old. Boost + old STOCK motor = KerBOOOOM batman.

end of transmission...

not true. as long as you get good numbers from a compression and leakdown test, and have supporting mods to go along with the turbo, and dont boost like crazy, you'll be fine. how long it lasts depends on how good you tune it.
