i just got a 1995 ACURA INTEGRA LS and i would like to know what options of Engines i have to put in it rite now it has a 1.8L 4 i want better so please let me know and thank you for your help

Any of the Honda I-4 will work.

That's interesting. Most guys always do engine swap in Civic and hardly anyone does it for Integras. Alot put a VTEC head on the LS motor which you have and seems to work fine. But I have seen some with K20 and even K24 swap turboed. Some even go as far as putting an Japanese Integra TypeR motor.

You have a couple of optins. The first and easiest would be either the B18C1 or B18C5, the DOHC VTEC motors from the GSR or the Type-R. Then you can find a good B16 or B18 head and do a LS/VTEC swap. the LS/VTEC is very good for naturally aspirated applications.

These are some of the common and popular swaps, if swapping seems like too much work grab a vtec head and do a LS/VTEC. Not as strong but much more affordable and convenient.B16A motors will work, not as popular due to less displacement.B17A1-integra gsr motor 2nd generationB18C5-Integra Type R motorB18C1-Integra GS-R motorB20B/Z block mated with a B16A headH series and F seriesBasically any prelude motor is popularH22A1/4 and the non vtec version the H23A1The F22 and F23 series were less popular due to a SOHC configuration, we all like our motors with more cams and more flow. And these engines were found in various models of the accord and acura 2.2 models. These are not to be confused with the F20C and the F22C, those last two are the beasts of NA 4 cylinder motors, Good luck stuffing a Honda S2000 motor in you car.Then of course there is the most expensive but best option, find a k seriesK20A2- RSX type S motor, probably the best motor except for the Z1, without paying a bunch for a type r motor, it will be pricey, but worth it if you have the money.K20A3-RSX base and 02-05 civic si motor, without the "good vtec" No point to this engine, not worth itK20Z1-RSX type s motor a little more power years 05+K20Z3 the 06+ civic si motor, also very goodK23a1- RDX, turbocharged but good luck swapping that, very different mounts.Then any K24 bottom end mated with a k20 vtec head.So the best for price and performance and durability would be the B18C1 and the K20A2. Lots of options you just have to chose what is best suited for your budget, horsepower, torque, and displacement needs.

you can stick just about any motor in this carB18B(LS,GS,RS,SE), B18C1(GSR), B18C5(Type-R), B16,B20 theres K series H series and F series toojoin team-integra.net and honda-tech.com

Just keep it stock ... don't blow all your money or get yourself in debt over a 12 year old car.

k20a2 that what i got in my 94 ls

Right now you've got the B18B1 sitting in there.You want power get the B18C1, or the C5.You want a tree-stump puller a B20 block will do.Pretty much almost all of the B-series blocks can do.I don't know why you would pick anything that displaces less than your B18B1. If it were me I'd bore out/port polish your current block, do the "Big 3" (intake, header, exhaust), buy an ECU reflash or a stand alone ECU management and call it good. "It's cheaper than buying a whole new block and having it installed." If anything you can always slap on a turbo and double the power that way. "Blow-off valves are sweet!"But now thanks to Hasport and other companies, you can shoehorn a K series block in too.
