well i just bought this 92 integra with a b16a1 motor and a gsr tranny. I want to get some more power out of the motor and was wondering what i should do. i dont want a turbo because they are a little too expensive and i also want reliability as well as performance. So maybe i could switch out the block or head? im dont know if that can be done or if it would give me anymore power. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

start with an I/H/E

 

And get ±10hp for about $1000?

I'd save up and turbocharge.

What's your realistic budget limit?

While the startup cost of a turbocharger may be on the high-side compared to bolt-ons, the hp / $ ratio is much better. Furthermore, the B16* is direly lacking in torque...so forced induction will make the most difference in daily driving.

 

these guys really need to search
