Engine Swap

VTEC is a system that controls the operation of the valvetrain within specific cylinder heads. The VTEC system does not determine the compression ratio of an engine. Secondly, people have been turbo-charging the DC2 Integra's B18C1 motor for nearly a decade. It is certainly capable of being turbocharged reliably.
Thirdly, in CA there are some legal hurdles that make a B20B or B20Z swap de-facto illegal based on EPA classification. So depending on where the OP is, a "B20 swap" may not even be a legal option.

The ISBN # is 1-557-883-84X. For $15, it is a very good resource to learn from and become familiar with the concepts of power tuning and the specific methodologies of tuning Honda motors.

I never said that a B18c turbo setup wasn't a good thing it is just better w/ a lower compression. And I def. Know that Vtec has nothing to do w/ compression that is the pistons and block and such. The GSR is 10.1.1 whereas the LS is 9.6.1. I probably could benefit from that book but I'm not a complete idiot. U just took what I said wrong its all good. I probably could have worded it better. And I live in MD so most of the things from CA I am unfarmiliar with, and very thankful I dnt have to deal w/.

I have a number of questions for you..
1) What state do you live in? Is smog inspection an issue where you live?
2) Is the original motor in working condition?
3) What's your budget?
4) How reliable do you need the car to be?
5) Realistically, how fast do you want to go?
Before you answer #6, consider what you're asking the front tires to do and how much the car weighs. A DC2 weighs about 2700lbs, so a solid 300hp to the wheels will be more than enough to get you in serious trouble.

I live in va. The original motor works but has 100,000 miles on it my budget is 7-8k and I need the car to be very reliable because I wont have the cash for a rebuild because soon enough ill be heading to college and b dead broke and how fast do I want to go? I'm really thinking bout gearing out at 120 so that all the power is working towards that point.
