Can't you swap in an integra gsr motor? I think that's a b18 something.

Um my brother has an integra gsr. I'm not buying just suggesting a good motor.

I don't know where to get one for you though. I was just suggesting that motor b/c it's fricken fast. You might want to talk with OldSchool if you want to buy a motor b/c he can probably get one for you. Racing Impulse

If I were you, I'd go with the USDM B18C1 cuz JDM engines are used (as well) and are probably abused. I'm going for USDM because it's going to save me the headache (won't have to order from Japan).
