The title pretty much says it all. I have a 1990 Integra, what did they originally come with?
I know the engine number, is it the first 3 on this? For example B18A12........etc

Sorry for sounding really really dumb :o

Cheers

yes it will be the numbers you have posted. to find out what engine you have, look and the block from the front of the car and it should be stamped to your left hand side just beside your headers.

I think he did! He was really rude to me after that and said something about Fred Flintstoning it....

I don't plan to put v-tec in it thanks lol, the whole point is getting rid of this lovely Honda and moving on to the next :p
Kicks the husbands Ford Territory though :cool:
