    i think a gsr would probably be your best bet unless you want to go w/ a LS/VTEC. You could always get a type-r too which would be the best motor u could get, but thats goin to cost a lot more.

    It kinda depends on your budget and what you want out of it.

    Im not positive, but i think when built right (to do it right, i think you should probably go ahead and build up ur motor some) i think you can get around 170 whp. Talk to vteckidd on here, he will be able to give you a better answer.

    If you plan to put down any kind of high power or run higher rpm's w/ an LSVTEC you should probably go with a stronger rod and arp rod bolts. The LS rods are much weaker than vtec rods. A CTR in the 92 integra might not be too bad depending on how much you want to build it after the swap. If you want to just swap and be done then the GSR or type R is probably your best bet. I may be wrong but expect around $3500 for a complete swap installed for a GSR. If you look through some of the threads in all motor/honda/acura forum/and gen. tech you should be able to find this info about 1,0000000 times. lol.
