rule out h22 and b18 if u want a conversion for under 5k... turboing ur current motor may be your best bet if budget is an issue
research all your options. learn a bit about each then decide what best suits what you are after. each have their pro's and cons. search is your friend
EK-CTR is on the ball. you got 5k budget no problems
b16a from ek4 or eg6 crx blahblah
you can get maybe front cut or running gear 2-3k and if you got knowledge then obv no labour but if u dont then 1k+ depends on what shop it is and their qaulity if your in syd pm ben the mod as he can do conversion for a good price
if you want to go turbo - boost the d16a8, most bang for buck.
if you want to go all motor. b16a, as most people have suggested, is definately within your budget.
what integra do you have? if you've got a d16a, then turbo it. a b-series swap to a b16a will cost you around the 8-10g mark. so then add another 5g at the minimum to boost.
im in the process of turbocharging my D16A8 CRX, and with a budget of $5K u will have to buy cheap parts, im assuming ur not going to buy a standalone computer?? $$
My setup with stock internals is costing me around $6K which includes some s/h parts i managed to get.
good luck with it
