heres the low down on integra Ls.

there were two makes of the integra DA9's from which 1989-1993 was the production time.
the car had two models.
the LS: consisting of a non VTEC b18a 5spd manual blah blah blah
the XSI: consisting of b16a2 i think, which is the vtec inside the EM1 Coupes.
oviously the XSI will smash the b18a although even the b18a is a 1.8L and the xsi is a 1.6L but you all should know that oviously! have a good one

if you want to do a engine swap go for a b20 with a b16a block. gets very torquey =) Goodluck!
