Ok I have a 96 integra ls with a 5spd GSR tranny. Stage 2 exedy clutch and flywheel with a short shifter, cold air intake, full exhaust from the 421 header and all the way back, a Holley 68mm throttle body, a Megan full size radiator and an aftermarket fan. And all the suspension is done the way I want it as well. Supposedly the block is a built b18b1 with a GSR transfer. It apparently has some GSR internals but I don't exactly know what and how I would verify that without taking the motor apart. I am leaning towards believing the previous owner about the internals because it has much more power than my last 1.8 I had. Now I have a couple of questions.questions. Just by comparable mods would anybody even guess a round about hp number? The next question is what would you guys suggest me doing next to the car? I have a turbo exhaust manifold and an intercooler for it. Now my ideas were to do the ls/vtec hybrid and please correct me if I'm wrong but I think ill need a built GSR head and the conversion kit, as well as a p75 obd2 chipped ecu and wiring harness to do that. And I was also thinking about buying an AEM fuel rail, pressure regulator, walbro 255 fuel pump and 440cc injectors so that I can put that all on at the same time I would put the turbo on it or the ls/vtec conversion so that I could just pay a tuner once to tune my car. Any suggestions on what i should do next would be helpful. And also any feedback on this venom chip that they sell at summitracing.com? Here is the link and I'm curious if it would really make drastic changes like the description says it will. And I'm sorry for the huge post I just wanted to be thorough for u all. And do I need anything special for a tuner to tune my car with? Like a chip or module of somesort or do they just go through the ecu?

I stopped reading about half way though. A couple paragraphs to break up that text would be nice.

First, if you are not 100% of what is in the engine, we certainly cannot give you a HP estimate. Every car will have a different reading even if the same parts are used. The only way to know the true HP is to dyno it. The only way to know what parts were used in an engine build is a receipt from the place that built it or you'll have to take it apart.

You are not going to want to turbo the car if it were built for an all motor application. Don't waste money and time. Find out what is done to the motor first. Before doing anything.

Ok thanks. I did a little more research into the car and it has type r pistons and rods, and skunk cams and gears. And a walbro fuel pump.

Vtec? I have V-TAK! Son..
Question for the OP....Was your integra, "BUILT or BOUGHT"?

To clarify the question, did you buy your integra with all those mods already done to it OR did you do all those mods after you bought your ride? I understand the previous owner had internal work done.

Sorry it's the transmission not transfer. Predicted text I guess. And I bought it that way and I'm just trying to figure out what I should do next.

Go over it with a fine tooth comb (if you bought it like that) and triple check everything
