New Here/Question

[stalegreenpunk]

I'm new here, I used to do the yahoo groups but just got alot of BS from them. I heard alot of good stuff about this forum and thought I'd check it out. Here's a quick question I had. I am planning on doing either a B16a or a B18c swap into my '91 hatch. What bolt-ons should I shop for (i.e. headers, intakes), keeping in mind that they are usually listed for the year and model of the car? I'm pretty sure the bolt-ons for a '91 civic hatch wouldn't fit onto the new engine.

Welcome to ou hole in the wall.

As for the bolt on's, I'm not a bseries expert, but you can use the intake for the 91 hatch.

Hey, welcome to the board, and i think you should do the basic mods first, like intake, exhaust, headers and of course, fuk emissions, and gut your cat ...... then do massive engine work!

hehe use to own a 2nd gen integra :sun:

if i was you and wanted to get a gsr motor, i would just go out and finr a b18a1 or a b18a2 (ls motor) and do a "frankenstein" (when u put a b16 head onto the b18 block). It will cost about $1200 to do but if you do it right you will get aroun 200hp at the wheels!!!!!! you will have to get a b16a ecu or whatever ecu you want that has vtec (b18c1,b18c5,b16a,b16a2,b17a) and then run a "t-tap" off of one of your oil lines to the head.

if you have any questions just ask

Hey man, we're like one big happy family imo......

[hybridsol]

here's a list of stuff needed for the swap. (just incase you need it)
1.engine complete with head, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, and all accesories.
2.Y1,J1,S1,or any B-series cable transmission.
3.PR3 or PW0 ecu (preferred) OBD-1/OBD-2 conversion wiring.
4.EF-18 bolt-in kit
5.90-93 Integra axles, intermediate shaft
6.90-93 Integra throttle cable
7.90-93 Integra driver's side motor mount/ or I have seen other's converted mounts
-Just a suggestion, but while you have the motor out the biggest gains will be seen from internal blueprinting and internal replacements, then header, ect.

by the way, welcome to 4g AF forums.

since u brought up the "frankenstein" swap, i heard they are hella less reliable, like a signifigant amount to where its not recommended to do it, what are your thoughts on that?

[stalegreenpunk]

See this is one reason I quit the yahoo groups, I asked what year and model parts i should shop for after the swap, and the answers I got were about other stuff, advice on how to do the swap, someone said I should do the mods first then do the swap..... c'mon guys.

[amy@af]

its hard to answer your question. b16 or b18 what? different versions came out of different cars.

that is like asking what car does a d16 come in? thats anything from 88 Civic to current....or Del Sol.

[amy@af]

When are you gonna post some pics of the 88 integra? And some of the SI too, its cool, there are a couple of people who chill here who no longer have civics, or never had em in the first place.

If that person was reffering to internal modifications, then he's right you should. Why do a speed enhancement swap without internal work? Just my opinion but like I said, thats where your going to see the biggest motor gains (Since the motor Is still out of the car). Ami's got a point too I'm not shure what motor your speaking of, If you specify the motor maybe we will be of more help.?

[stalegreenpunk]

Totally guys, I didn't specify what engine I plan on swaping. It will either be a b16a1 or b18c1, those are most in my reach. I was just stating that I didn't ask what engine work I should get done to it or if i should do the frankenstien swap, or for a list of things i need for the swap, but those are the replies I got. I don't mean to be a jack off or anything. Sorry about the missunderstanding.
