    yeah there is a slight difference in CR cause of Emissions... the A20a4 has a slight bump in power than the A3. i think your better off building a A20A4 from the ground up, with a bit of work on the engine. you could probably make 135 or 140 hp. thats like a honda civic with vtec

    what about just good ol' LS? There's tons of potential for it. Turbo, NA, LSVTEC, etc. They're fairly cheap..2cents..

    LS is B-series w/o vtec right? LSVtec sounds interesting.
    Found a B18B from an importer here in The Netherlands for 700 euros shipped (without tranny).
    But some other B-series trannies would fit as well I guess.

    How much of a power gain would that be compared to A20?

    But wouldn't B20(vtec) be better in that case?
    There's no replacement for displacement, right?
    Stock it's less powerful, but with a vtec head and intake/exhaust it should give more power.
    I'd imagine that would be a swap similarly complicated as LSvtec.

    LS is the model of the integra which came with B18A-B and yes its non-vtec. As long as the tranny is cable than yes (a lot simpler). I know that it would be an improvement over your A20 but I'm not sure by how much and yes t0he B20v would be the best choice since it is bigger.

    My A20A4's with a fresh built bottom end, lots of headwork, big valves, mild cam, 2.5" exhaust, header, Weber DCOE 45's make 200bhp, now the same done to a B20A could be good for 210-220bhp, with a larger bore and higher CR pistons with a more aggressive cams a little bit more 230-240bhp
