Hello everyone,

I am new to these forums, and by the looks of it, i love this place already

i have a 1995 Acura Integra LS 5spd.

maybe you guys can help me out, even though this is the first time i talk

I have an LS, but also own a GSR engine.. what would be a better way to go ? LS/VTEC, or just swap the GSR ?
i also posted this in another board... i want true opinions

hello and welcome-gsr all the way in the long run it will be cheaper and more powerful

i dont like ls/vtecs because the ls bottom end isent made to rev to 8k and people always say Oh i just wont put it past 7k

ya OK

so yes IMO gsr swap aaaallllllll the way

i was thinking the same thing but my mechanic said i need a new block on the LS... is getting everything on the LS besides the block and put it on the GSR a good idea ?

I agree with xfactor.... Which would you rather start off with a brand new GS-R or a beat up GS-R that has been raced every day for last 5 yrs . The new one right! same thing here. The LS/VTEC requires ALOT of maintenance and care. if you haven't already done so you may want to check out this article: http://www.all-acura.com/article-59.html
