I'd do it. 
Just for your information because it's bothering me.. It's Vtec, not Vtech.

I don't know why he wanted to correct you. You seemed to have spelled it correctly.
Yea, its just cause Tech is the correct spelling, but Tec is the correct spelling for the engine, anyways this is irrelevant and I just need opinions on the JDM B18C DOHC Vtech Spec R, type R whatever, It comes stock about 200 hp which is equivalent to the B20 and K20a2

Not a big deal but actually VTEC (without the h) is the correct spelling:
Variable valve Timing and lift Electronic Control system (VTEC)

yea, its not exactly 4k but its close, and it contains most of the stuff needed, ill have to buy a little more http://www.jhpusa.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1896&idcategory=387#details and there is this one too which I like better, but doesnt come with as much http://us.ebid.net/for-sale/honda-b18c-gsr-jdm-engine-integra-civic-b18c1-vtec-8586152.htm?from=googlebase#pic
yea Im going to get a new exaust after I get the engine in, ride it N/a for a while because my car needs alot of cosmetic work, have to get a new hood, most likely carbon fiber because I got into a small wreck last monday because some guy slammed on his brakes in from of me.
Then I have to fix my hood cable because I have to pull the cable myself to open my hood, i need it to open when i pull the lever in the car.
My car is already dropped, Then get a body kit because my car doesnt even have side skirts and I'll either end up getting new fenders because I have a couple chips or I might just fill it in with fiber glass. Then give it a nice paint job (I only have a white primer on my car right now)
I have a 92 Dx hatch so I either have to find the door moldings on the side, im not sure what they are called, they are suppose to protect your car from people who slammed their car doors into yours, I havent had any luck finding those.
Then change out my dash, I installed temporary carpet that I bought from home depot for like $30, so I plan on installing legit OEM carpet. Get some racing seats, fix my back passenger seat belt (it wont retract) if I decide to keep the back seat, get a new back seat or remove it entirely. fix my door panel locks. Get some nice rims. Then I will proceed to put turbo in it, a aftermarket cool air intake, and after market 4-way fuel injection, on top of many other things

No, its not going to be anything ricey, just something to give it a nice touch if you know what I mean. IMO ricers are the idiots that have all looks like gigantic spoiler, rims, body kits that touch the ground, then when it comes to under the hood they have little stock 1.5 liters with nothing else and they dont even know their car when it comes to performance
so true with alot of s**t
purpej1 do you happen to know what the little strips on the side doors of dx hatches are called (the strip that protects your car from being bumped by other peoples doors) and perhaps where I can get a pair? If I can't find them should I just buy carbon fiber doors and fill in the part on the quarter panels with fiber glass and sand it down so I dont have that random indention on my car? yea mine too, I bought my 92 dx hatch off craigslist for $1000 runs perfect, just has cosmetic problems.
