    What kind of Integra motor??? Do a B series motor or an H22, H22 has more power plus there easier to get then B series motors since they're in such high demand now, you could probably pick up the H22 for the same price if not less then a B series, it will cost a little more to have it installed, but it runs over 200 hp stock compared to 140-170 out of a teg motor, then you can do the bolt ons on the H22 since it has more available then an A20 motor, it has eventhing from intake to any internal you can think of...

    My advice, if your gonna keep the car for a while then do a motor swap, but if not then just spend a few bucks on bolt ons for the stocj motor, cuz with a swap you won't get what you want for the car cuz the motor will be worth more then the rest of the car...

    Later if I keep mine I'm gonna do an F23 sohc vtec motor with a new trans. and a turbo, but thats after I get a few sponsors under my belt, but I hope to have it done by next season since I'm now with Ruthless Motorsports with runs street rallys where you compete for points and sponsorships.

    The easiest swap would be the earely B16's. The Tegs and Lude will cost around 5-7K to swap. The Civic B16 is only like 3k.

    Depends if you feel like taking on the challenge of beefing up the A series engine. It's not easy, but definitely not something done anywhere near as often as your garden variety B series engine.

    With a little looking you'll find performance parts. Here's a small list for ya

    Intake: Weapon R, Spectre (requires some saw action)
    Camshafts: Delta, Colt, Openloop
    Headers: DC Sports, Pacesetter
    Strut Bars: Ractive, DC Sports
    Ignition: Accel, MSD
    Cat Converters: Bomz, Pacesetter
    Cat-Backs: Pacesetter
    Rotors: Brembo, Powerslot
    Pistons & Rods: Wiseco
    Fuel Pressure Regulators: Vortech, AEM
    Injectors: Venom, Accel
    Flywheels: Fidanza, Openloop
    Clutches: Centerforce, Unorthodox Racing, AEM
    Lowering Springs: Sprint
    Shocks: Tokio, Blitzen, Gabriel
    Short Throw Shifters: Pacesetter, DC Sports
    Bushings: Energy Suspension, Pacesetter

    That's all I can think of right now. If anyone knows other manufacturers and parts, add to the list. It would be nice to have a running list of performance parts and their manufacturers for the 3geez.

    If you do an H22 swap your looking at spending some mad money...

    I'd do a B20 swap from the Japenese version

    Seems like this is everyones first question. Why don't you just get to know the car and the parts. Then do a little bit here and there unless of course you have like $10k to spend right away.

    Start with the basic I/H/E setup. After that, get a cam that'll give you power where you want it. Grab a cam gear and adjust it to your liking. Find a bigger throttlebody and if you can get one, modify a B series intake manifold to fit your head. Raise your fuel pressure a tad to work with that extra breathing your engine can do. Get a stage 2 or 3 clutch and an aluminum flywheel, why not change your tranny since it's off the car at this point. After that, work on your internals. Throw on a big ol' huffer (ya lose your headers going turbo, but there's always supercharging) and some nawss. Guaranteed you'll be passing those Civics and Tegs at that point

    Does 2 engine swaps sound great, but for my taste, they lack low end torque. Instead of putting I4's, why not concentrate on a bigger engine like a V6 accord? Be creative, don't put what every else does...

    that was good advice by all of u i"ll come with a decsion. but i think i might just keep the se-i engine and work on that make something out of nothing. make the fuking thing go fast. cause those swap cost money and time. if i don"t like the performance of the engine then start to consider engine swap. thanks guys

    May I add to the list:
    Shocks section: Koni specials. I highly recommend them and they are tunable.
    Springs: Eibach Proline or Sportline
