GarageScout Take
A turbocharged B18C1 VTEC swap, sourced from a 1999 Integra GS-R and installed in 2020, sends power through an S80 five-speed transaxle with an MFactory limited-slip differential. The setup includes a Garrett T3/T4 turbocharger, Hondata S300 ECU, 1,000cc injectors, front-mount intercooler, and a 3-inch exhaust. The car was repainted black over its factory red, with JDM-style front bodywork and later-model taillights installed under prior ownership.
