Sounds like a plan dude, good luck with all that. As for an exhaust if I were to do anything to a 4DR 3gee I would use this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/INTEGRA-LEGEND-CRX-OTTO-R-TWIN-TIP-DUAL-EXHAUST-MUFFLER_W0QQitemZ290031504260QQihZ019QQcategoryZ33 636QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) Muffler.

It kinda has a stock look, but still has a little flair to it. I had one on my old Legend and it sounded great.

Honestly I dont think a dual setup will look very good without a bumper made for duals, thats just my 2cents. If you decide to do the duals I think those muffler would be a good choice.

i'd like to do an f/i swap, that's what the fellow at the machine shop recomended over any carb... he wants to hook me up with a completely aftermarket (mostly custom) f/i setup... that'd cost a lil bit...

I guess I better get off my lazy ass and start pulling that engine out of the donor car so you can get the FI stuff that you need:)

You could do the EFI swap for pretty cheap and get a stand alone system (whitch is what they paln to do) for much cheaper. I would not pay a shop to do that. Check out VectorX setup I believe he did his own stand alone setup.

and i can't find this dude... but with a whole set-up he said I wouldn't use ANYTHING stock, that right there just sounds expensive, so i'd probly need a nice intake mani (mod a b16's) big injectors what else am i looking at and do you think with putting all that in could i do it for under $1500?

You will need an FI manifold (B16, stock, whatever) Then you will need the whole FI setup (TB, Injectors, Rail, ........). Then if you want to run your laptop you will need to convert to OBD-1 (this includes ecu, distributor, and wiring) Then you can get some system like hondata or aem. Whatever you want to spend your money on. If you have that shop do it, you need to bring the vaseline, becasue that shop is going to rape you.

EDIT: ACtually his name is vector he drives a gold hatch

yeah i called him up and he said that engine components alone would cost around $3500 and that a custom intake manifold for a 4bbl carb would be $400 so... i'm probly looking more at carb'd.
