How do I start this integra without a key?
 
Okay, I bought a wrecked 97 Integra GSR so I could get the motor out of it. It didn't have a key and the title is lost. I want to start the thing so I know everything works before I go through with the motor swap. I don't want to wait through the title application process. Can I just break the ignition switch and start it? And exactly how would I go about that?Thanks in advance for all your help.

I'm pretty sure the Acura Integra didn't have a transponder imobilizer system until 2000. If you remove the plastic shroud from around the steering column, you should be able to take the ignition switch off the back of the ignition lock cylinder and then simply turn the switch with a flat bladed screwdriver. It is not necessary to break the ignition lock cylinder.If I'm wrong and the car did use a transponder, you'd either have to get a transponder key programmed with the car or you'd need an imobilizer bypass module. I've seen them on eBay for $30.
