specs for LS

[LS Integra]

any1 know the specs by chance?

[LO_N_SXC]

Check out the sticky on this forum for more info on model listings and so on, or you can do a search! basic stuff I know bout mine is that it was built in april 89 but are listed as 90-93 DA9 Integra LS only came in two door here in australia, engine you are most likely to come across is the 140HP B18A1 (but a Jap version saw the Ls have a B16A Vtec - Jap only though) many people tend to replace the original B18A1 with a later version of this engine refered as The B18B, usually froma DC2 GSI, like me I fitted one from a 96 Modle GSI with no problems, other convertions that I have seen are B18C - DC2 VTiR or Type R (if you got the do$h) B16A is another and also a rare B20B from a HRV or CRV (correct me if wrong) Like I said you're better off doing a search coz there is many more info on this cars but I really don't have time right now to list them all, sorry dude!

Good luck!

thanks anyways man, like all i no bout my car, is it has a black top engine..
hahahahaha
and it goes alright.. hahahaha

[FR33K]

engine you are most likely to come across is the 140HP B18A1

thats not 100% correct

130hp engine came in the 89 - 91 model
92 - 93 model had the 140hp engine

[aus91integra]

Yup series 1, 89-91 is 130hp.. the series 2 with the different frontbar and tails has the 140hp motor like the gsi g3's ..

[LS Integra]

my friend checked my car tonight and its got the b18a1 in it.. its a 1989 LS

[aus91integra]

Then its most likely the 130hp one.

[LO_N_SXC]

When my B18A1 engine went Kaaabbooommm! I did some searching and came across the same thing B18B = +10Hp so thats what I bought straight away, the B18B was siting in a Jap spec DC2 gsi and only had bout 80,000kms or so, I remember once I let it run in for like a month and two I took it for a long drive and gave it some thats when I really noticed the difference between the two! well worth it for the money I paid on the B18B and I have never had any major problems with it too, real solid engine!

[LS Integra]

how much did you end up paying for it? my engines done around 220000k's n the way i drive it, i dont think it will be around much longer.. hahahaha

[dc2dc2dc2]

how many km'z did ur LS do LO_N_SEXC before it went *KABLAMO*

[FR33K]

mine did 330,000 before i replaced it
it didnt fully go *KABLAMO* before i replaced it but it was on its way ;)

[dc2dc2dc2]

hey FR33K how much did it cost u all up to put in a B16A and how much work was involved? my car has done 290,000! I THINK THE TIME IS SOON!!!

[LO_N_SXC]

I paid just under 1K for the engine and the car had very low kms when the engine went in, the old engine went Kaboom coz it recieved alot of thrashing from my older brothers who used to take it to the track and so on, the problem it had was that the Piston rings were gone and it was burning oil and when I purchased the car it was getting worse and wose, untill one night out with some friends we where driving back home when I heard a flaping sound followed by a POP! then I could smell heaps of burning oil the car just rolled and I managed to get it off the Freeway ance pulled over and I had a look round the engine and I found a Triangular Whole in the block the size of a Golf ball or so! thats when I said to my self R.I.P. B18A1 I took things bad at first but it was going to happen sooner or later, so I saw the good side of things and a week later the car was back on the road with a fresh B18B, after runing the engine in and performing its first service it took it for a good drive to see how well it went......

I was opting for the B16A at that time but the Idea of replacing the 1.8 engine with a 1.6 wasnt apealing to me and back then I didnt know mutch about Vtec but now I wished I did! lol I had even found a whole front cut for only $2000 complete! I just hope next time I find a front cut of a B18C From a VTiR or Type R! oh well.........

[FR33K]

cost about 1900
buying, servicing, installing + timing belt and another 2 gaskets

[NTR16N]

Yup series 1, 89-91 is 130hp.. the series 2 with the different frontbar and tails has the 140hp motor like the gsi g3's ..

Hey wats the difference between the series 1 and 2 frontbars?? and tails?? the must be subtle cause i havent noticed...

Oh yeah.. and exactly wat lo n sxc said about the engines... ive seen a b16a conversion, ive got the b18b and ive seen the b20b outta a CRV in my mates teg...

I think all options are good and reliable depending on kms and internals and stuff... and then you can work your way from there... :)

Keep us updated on it!! ;)

[FR33K]

series 1 tail lights have clear tail light indicators
series 2 have orange indicator tail lights
series 1 rear bar slightly diff to series 2.. therefore u gotta get the right lip if u want one
series one front bar and front indicators diff to series two.. again front lips from series one wont fit on series 2 vice versa...

ill just post up some pics

[aus91integra]

nice drawing.. heheh

[LO_N_SXC]

LOL I still rekon the series one looks better IMO, I dont like the fact that the series two has no vents, it would make it harder to place a pipe or a hose to run some cold air to a pod or something simillar

[FR33K]

Like this :D

[aus91integra]

IMO the "drifter" aftermarket bar is badass for the LS ..
