No doubt about it, the swap must be fun, but is it really worth the money in comparison to the perfromance gains. To me, no it's not, maybe bolted up to a civic chassis, yes.
I was shooting a price for a civic but there's a few parts less required for a b16 into a integra, and this is talking about the b16a1 not a2.
The integra is designed for a 1.8 and the car will best perform at that size motor or larger. As I said above, it has been tested and ran at the track and the times speak for themself. Also never ever compare a street race on the street to back up your points b/c it aint going to work nor does it make sence b/c there can be dozens of issues with both cars/drivers and I don't even want to get into that.
It may run more money to build the ls vtec motor but if you work on motors on your own and don't pay for labour costs it's definintly worth every penny at the end. I've been looking into tegs for a long long time now and when I do get one, the setup I mentioned is what im using or a b18c1 or b18c5 with a ys1 cable tranny.
IMO save up and at the end you'll be

If you have something constructive to say just say it.....I think you are pro b16 but you could be also discussing the Iraq weapons of mass destruction locations as well for all we know

You can tell I hit a soft spot cause everyone jumped on me. I'm probobly older than half of the douches on this board...so dont' talk abotu ls vtec like you know anyting cause you don't
