B16 in a 96 LS

what do you guys think of a JDM B16a2 motor being put into a 1996 integra LS? i mean dont get me wrong, id love to have a type r motor, but i can get a full b16 swap for only 2500, opposed to the 4500 for the b18c1/5. would this motor just drop right in or would it take some major fabrication? thanks for the help fellas.

It's a B-series, so it'll fit without fabrication, but your integra will seem kinda sluggish with the loss of torque, but I guess the ability to make power way higher makes up for it; however, your teg won't be much faster than a teg with a b18b if you leave the motor stock. I'd just suggest that you save up some more and get a b18c1 if you want vtec. You can find one for around $3500, check hmotorsonline.com and inlinefour.com

Yup i'd get the gsr motor instead.

hrmm im selling my b18c1 for 2k if your interested.

i would be interested, but i wont be doing any motor swap until february or march. i think i might just keep my LS motor and turbo it. i was just trying to go the cheap way out, but thought twice about it. but would a b18c1 just drop right in, use the b18b mounts and everything? how much would a usual shop charge for something like this?

It'll drop right in. You just have to wire up the vtec. Shit i'd pay 2k for a gsr motor anyday. Can't get any better deal than that ;)

If your going to boost, it doesnt really matter what motor you boost with. Id stay with the b18b. Just do it right the first time around. Buy this for a peace of mind.

Make me an offer :biggrin:

yes , stay with the b18b1 and just boost it, u will see more gain from a turbo kit than from a b18c1.

i'd say do cams P&P pistons all that instead of bothing with vtec swap or boost but im an N/A junkie

I agree. Maybe a swap, but no boost, or nitrous. All motor junkie as well.....
