The Integra LS came stock with a B18A1 engine and a S1 transmission which is good for 140 hp @ 6000 and 126 lb-ft (which is read foot pounds, not pounds feet like the Dodge commercial.) of torque @ 5000.
My original plan was to find another B18A block and build that engine for a swap. Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the timing belt before she gave out. It just means I'm going to rebuild the engine that came with the car.
As far as what's in store:
Crower - Crankshafts
New connecting rods - I'm still deciding length and manufacturer
Forged pistons - leaning towards JE Pistons or Wiseco from Skunk 2
Valvetrain: with a B18C1 head
Skunk 2 Pro Series 2+ Camshafts
Skunk 2 B Series high compression valves
Skunk 2 also has springs, retainers, and valve seals for the valvetrain.
Skunk 2 Pro Series Cam gears
I'm also putting in a Skunk 2 Pro Series intake manifold with 74mm throttle body, which will be fed with a ram air intake. I'm leaning towards AEM for distributor and engine coil/pack.
The engine bay will also receive a full wire tuck and a battery relocation. Password JDM has a kit that includes a battery about 1/6 the size and weight of a standard battery.
Suspension is still waiting full design. I know I'm going to need to rebuild it to handle the new power levels. Again, Skunk 2 and Password JDM both have some very good offerings for vehicle suspension.
Vehicle interior will be a full custom job. I've already removed the backseat and started working on the front panels.
