Rep Power: 0 gsr motor b18c1
Ok so im just gettin ito the import scene and want to build the motor right. I have a 96 Integra gsr with the origanal b18c1. Its all stock now. I want to build an all motor car. Do I pull the motor and start from the bottom? Car runs strong now, no issues with motor. Where to start?

GET IT DYNO TUNED, with Hondata.
Get a proper suspension set up to put the power to the ground, honestly i'd do this first, it will make a huge difference. A lot of people tend to be cheapskates in this department. Don't buy off brand shocks and springs, stay away from Megan, D2 coilovers/springs (there is a reason why they are cheap). Buy name brand shocks and springs, they have been proven to outperform those knockoff brands. Tein, Koni, Bilstein, etc...
My buddy has a 250whp RSX NA, but it has a difficult time putting the power down because it has lowering springs and stock shocks.
To properly build and balance a NA motor you're looking at 5-10k to be realistic. It's pricey. All my friends have spent around 10k to build their NA motors. However, nothing will compare to a fully built NA motor. The feel is totally different compared to a boosted vehicle. The GSR motor can easily get up to a 9-10k redline if built properly. Might be cheaper to swap in an ITR motor and call it a day. Think about your time/cost commitment before you go down that road.

I'd bore and sleeve if you are going to go that aggressive. Those cams are pretty mild and should be daily drive-able.
You need a tune if you are going to run 1000cc injectors otherwise the ecu won't know the difference.
Without a tune all those parts are going to go to waste.

You should beat most cars assuming it's built right. Main prob though... FWD

Yeah a vette is quick. So u think boring it .020 is better? It will be a daily driver but want it to be fast as well. Turbo is a possiblity but have been told it not good for a daily car.

.02 with 81 mm should be fine. Really it's more about the hondata and suspension tuning. Without tuning, the car will run like **** and you won't reach peak HP numbers.
250hp in an integra is plenty fast.
