Hey guys, right now i got a 91 Integra LS Hatch and I dont know if I should keep my LS or go with the GS-R engine. I havn't done any "big" mods like Internals or whatnot... Just a intake and exhaust up to the headers. I just want to know what engine would get more horses, for less cost. The A1 or C5 ?

 

ls= b18a/b
gsr= b18c1
type r= b18c5

 

you could turbo the ls for the price of a complete swap (with install and everything). i think the answer is simple. boost that fucker!

 

buy a stock b18a block and build it then turbo it, or if you want to go all motor just get a vtec head and rebuild your block. Either way the car will move just with turbo it will move faster

 

If your looking for a brand new ITR block B18c5, I have them in stock for $2194.82, retails for $2743.52.


Thats if you want to go without the hassle of rebuilding and such. Alot of guys tend to ge towards the new blocks.

I always see someone correcting a B18A1 to a B18A. Just to clear things up...... 90-93 ls/gs/rs= B18A1. I have yet to see one with just B18A...... I personally have a 90 GS and a 92 LS, and both are stamped B18A1.

 

And to answer the original question, I would go TURBO.........

 

I believe new B18c5 blocks from honda are $1800.
