Default Engine swap??
I currently have an 89 acura integr with its stock motor in it. It only has 80,000 miles on it but im lookin for some speed. Any ideas for what motor i should put in it?

Unless you just have to go w/ a B16, GS-R, Type-R etc, you might as well just invest the money that you would spend on a swap into building your current platform.

Turbo or Supercharged.
just my 2 cents though.

dumb, 89=obd0. so either way you will need to convert to obd1 in order to get tuned reliably. i say buy a new car and start with a more reliable platform.

OP has drug problem.... Cheaper than an engine swap though, and you'll probably be faster than the car.

Being honest, you own a '89 Integra. Should you be [strike]spending[/strike] wasting your money on said car? Just a side thought.

But go boost. Better power gains.
