I have an 1990 RS integra auto transmission i would like to drop some money in to it but i don’t know that much about cars here is what i would like to do,
-
change tranny to manual need to know what i need whats good and so on. I want something not shity but something that can handle some racing with friends if needed i was thinking type R maybe. what you all think?
-
What to do a motor swap i want turbo but i don’t know what i would need or what would be the best route to go. i have heard of the b20 thing before but i don’t know so i need opinions.
where are some good places to get the parts from (i live in hawaii) so offline is probaly the best place. i’m want to try and keep the price under 10K but i am willing to spend more if it will be worth it and if the bank will give it to me so what i am looking for is the best bang for my buck please thanks

You’re not going to find much input concerning an auto to manual swap. There are a couple of members on this board who have done this conversion but I’m sure you’ll have a hard time getting them to convince you that it’s worth it. It’s a lot of work and a lot of time, and if you don’t have a complete doner car, the search for necessary parts will be difficult and most likely expensive.
Seriously do yourself a favor and realize that if you are serious about having a manual transmission car, then it would be very cost effective and time saving to return your current car back to factory form and sell. Buy a manual transmission Integra and work from there.
Read here for member Shenrie’s experience with his conversion.
The only reason I’m persuing a tranny swap is because I’ve done things to my car that cannot be reversed. Rims, springs, audio, other bolt-ons are easy to move to another car.
Like they said, it would be easier to sell your car, pick up a 5-speed, and swap your stuff into that car.
