IN>WU>You guys are talking about the best of the best?  With a little work, a
IN>WU>B18C1 engine (94-95 Integra GS-R) fitted into a 92-95 Honda Civic will
IN>WU>SMOKE almost any production car...including LT-1 Vettes, Mustang Cobras,
IN>WU>Turbo Supras, Turbo Z cars..., C2 Porches...you get the picture.
IN>WU>Imagine it...the car gets 30+ MPG, idles SMOOTH as silk, and it is
IN>WU>extremely driveable.  All it takes is about 5 hours of work and some
IN>WU>wiring knowledge, and it's all done.  I do this all the time.  I know
IN>WU>what I'm talking about.  It'll do 0-60MPH in 4 second land...the quarter

IN>WU>Anyone searching for the perfect "sleeper"?  Put the GS-R engine in a

We have one...we ran a best 12.6 ET at 106MPH...no NOS, no Turbo.  We're
in every single magazine that covered the last "Battle of the Imports"
and we took the title of "Fastest Normally Aspirated".
If you add a supercharger to a Mustang, I can GUARANTEE that the motor
will not last one single year at six pounds of boost driving it everyd
ay.  An Integra engine inside a Civic will last 100,000+ miles and run
on and on and on.  You can't top that...  The cost per mile of driving
an Integra powered Civic is far LESS than that of a Supercharged
Mustang.  Let's see that Mustang get anywhere close to 25MPG.
