88 engine?

[AudioHead]

ola.

New to the forum and have a question that I'm sure you've all heard about 50,000 times.

I'm looking into replacing my little 1.5 with a "fast off the line" motor that has good bolt on acc. and is relitivly easy to put in. I've been told an integra ls block with a vtec head would be a good idea but I don't trust my source all that much.

Any help would be real nice.

Thanks

umm ok thanks

everybody seems to have B16's as a swap in the US but i'm not sure how easy it is to do, thats a 1.6 vtec 160 bhp approx i think

[AudioHead]

So the b16's came in which car? Prelude?

[Civic Jim]

no the Japanise 4th gen civics and the UK spec VTi's as i understand the engines are quite easy to get hold of in the US

[AudioHead]

are Most all of you located in the UK?

I'm in Colorado

[Civic Jim]

Yo Audio, check out my Honda Enthusiasts page in you need any info on what engine came from where. 88 is correct about the del-sol and civic thing. As for the LS/VTEC hybrid, if you do it, make sure you do it EXACTLY correct. otherwise it won't last long. Not really the easiest and trustworthy swap. You could always either go B16, or a D16Z6 or D16Y8 or a ZC, but the ZC lacks aftermarket support...well compared to the rest.
