i personally would ask you to evaluate exactly what you want ur car to do for you. There are plenty examples of really nice, clean and/or fast integras in the area, same could be said for s14's. My main point is since u are posting in a Nissan Tech. forum, you will have a bias opinion... same as if you went to a Honda thread, you would most likely see a bias towards the integra... if you are really looking for help, ask for the pros and cons of an s14, rather than if its better than an integra...

the swap is basic send the harness out to get re-worked for your chassis and the rest is mostly dummy proof.
if you go with a non oem/chassis compatible engine (rb 6cyl, 1jz, 2jz, ls1) it becomes more aggravating and should require expert hands under the hood.

The only shortcoming the integra has in my opinion would be that it's FWD. The Honda definetely has a better suspension setup, Double wishbone vs macpherson strut/multilink setup. It really depends on what you want to do , a well tuned integra is a blast to drive ( <250whp and balanced suspension setup). If you are shooting for big power numbers a RWD platform would be a better choice due to traction.

my integra is boosted so it's alot of fun to drive, but i've really gotten to like the S14. i do want more hp. i was going to do it my integra but it isn't cheap. right now i would need about $6,000 to get my car over 400 hp.

i bought my 95 240 about 2 mo ago and i have done a lot of work to it so far and im only half way done. BUT ive loved every minute of it(even the aggrevating minutes) i am so glad i got rid of my rsx and eclipse gt and am now part of the rwd club! imo if you like to build and appreciate cars then the 240 is the way to go(price for power ratio is almost unbeatable) good luck on your decision, hopefully we will see you in a zenki or a kouki!
