b18 in a 91 crx

i can get a b18a1 for 300$ from my friend. what car does this motor come from. and what else would i have to buy to make it perfect and to fit in my car, like a rebuild and ecu,wireharness,trans. any help would be appreciated, i dont want to end up spending too much money on the wrong things. thx

The B18a1 comes from 90-93 Integras. You'll need to get a motor mount kit or if you can weld than i would make your own, you'll obvisously need the tranny for the B18a, axels, ECU, wire harness would be plus, you can make your shift linkage fit (needs cut + welded). A pretty easy straight forward swap. You'll also need to have your exhaust redone to match the flange on the B18a header.

what about a JDM B16A? I found one for $650 that comes with a tranny. Im planning on doing a ZC swap real soon but is this a great deal or would i really need to make a lot of modifications?

what type of integra? ls/rs/gs ? please let me know. and if u know of any places i can get everything i need for the swap, i can always look on ebay,but i want the right parts, i also plan on gettin a DOHC vtech head for it port & polished, so im going to want skunk2 cams, thx again

you would need the same stuff for any b-series engine. b16a, b18a/b/c b20b/z....

:rolleyes:

forget the ZC save up for something better...i wish i had

The RS/LS/GS all have the B18a1. The only car that didn't get a B18a1 in the Integras in 90-93 was the GSR which got a B17. Rare motor and the cranks are worth a ton now days.

hes right.... i have a friend that did it thinkin it was gonna be worth alot. but it turns out ..he just as fast as the 92-95 ex's.......so all in all it wasnt what it was cracked up to be b16 or b18 is the way to go

91dxdude :flipa: heh, asshole. :sun: yea well. how fast do u think ill be running with the b18 & DOHC Vtec (better?) head. keep the responces coming guys, it's helpin me out & i still need to find some place to get all my parts from (trans, ecu & such) peace:finger:

if your talking about an ls vtec, i think youll run mid 14s. but if your not gonna build your block, i would suggest not revving past 7000. if you do rev it past 7000 and all the way up to 8000, then i say you got amonth before you blow up your ls

You should be in the 14s with a LS/VTEC? Is that just the engine being swapped in, nothing else done to it? Just wondering because I'm thinking about the LS/VTEC.

Also, wouldn't it just make since to rebuild the engine, since you are going to have to take it apart.

um, i plan on rebuilding the whole block from the bottom up, everything i can afford at least. i want to make it as mint and strong as possible for the money,but first im going to buy everything i need (ecu,wireharnes etc..) and then start w/the rebuild and performance. is there a DOHC vtec that you guys would recommend? leme know

theres a guy i saw at the track that had a white hb and i talked to him and he said he had an ls motor and i know it was ls/vtec cuz he was runnin high 13's on slicks it was all motor cuz there was no turbo or SC
