Here's a quick pic of my ride from this past year at E-town NJ. We are going to be performing a ton of improvements over this upcoming winter to get it running and performing perfect.

How does it handle? How much extra weight over a B18?

they can turn decently with the right setup...J32 swaps are mainly for drag and being unique.

pistons/rods/built head LS/Vtec. Synapse/Garrett 3076R kit. Putted around on 420whp 330ft lbs for a while until I got bored of the turbo stuff. I really just enjoy building cars and tinkering.

Nice man.... I really like these crazy J-swaps people are doing these days. Your car is pretty clean too. Luckily the valve cover looks good, its kinda like an old muscle car with a big ass blower sticking out of the hood.

Im not a fan of the holes in the hood. Id find someone to do some nice metal work and do something tasteful to the hood and cover the engine.

Clean looking though, props to the swap.

Only thing that ruins my fantasy of this is the hole in the hood and the handing deficit (I imagine). But props to you for doing it yourself, and it looks like a pretty clean and professional job, even with half the hood missing.

Hate the hole in the hood and decrease in handling, love the linear power and straighline performance.

How could this setup handle better than the turbo b18 setup?

First time I've seen that in an Integra. Still don't like the hole in the hood but it's definitely clean OP

The weight is behind the axles.. you'd have to drive a J swap car to understand. And the turbo car... yeah not so friendly around the turns. I ran 17psi daily.. when the boost came on.. I was glad I wasn't going around a turn haha

I agree with others: love the idea, hate the hole in the hood.

Well, I'm not gonna hate on the hole in the hood b/c there's no way I'd be able to do that swap myself... so props for the work and ride!

Oh, and welcome to the forum

I love this swap. Saw an EK with a J32 swap and an Eaton M90 supercharger at Import Alliance this year.

Any plans on boosting this motor?
