engine swap

[locote]

so how much quiker are the DA9s with the b16a compared to the b18a???? (stock to stock or same mods)??

[locote]

i was looking at goin b16a in my GSI but ppl said that power to weight is not realy good in a GSi,
but the GSi weighs less that LS.
and 15kg more than a VTIR civic.
B16a would give good gains specialy for the price of it.

hey spoon, wen u say ur car is fast only on a straight, wat do u mean? like if u were goin around bends n stuff its slower?

[locote]

it means the car has been thrown out of balance, the H22 is a heavier motor, integra was designed for a lighter motor, now the front is heavier than what it was with a B series motor it handles different.

[vtegra]

yeh k kool, but u can fix that stuff with suspension n the rest, but if u think bout it the h22a is more powerful then the b18 n the h22 will b in a lighter car therefor it will b awesome in the integra ls

[locote]

It doesnt lowerr the weight of the H22 still.
if your after raw power then why not spend the cash on your b18a?
rebuild it and boost it.
with the amount of cash your talking bout spending on your car a nd h22 u might aswell sell it and spend it on your b18a and get it cranking over 300fwhp, and still have a car that handles.

[vtegra]

yeh i could but they r pretty hard to find the b18, n neway u culd get more out of the 2.2 then the 1.8l, n sum1 else said that the engine weight isnt that much difference, im sure the car will handle alrite.

[locote]

you should have a b18a under your bonnet.
at the end of he day you do what u wanna do hey dont do it cause someone says to.
Speak to all the ppl who have done it, which i think theres only 2 in this forum and 1 of them no longer has the motor in the car.
You will probarbly have less hassles if you do a swap with a b18c, h22 will cost u a lot to get fitted nd running, rebuilding and turboing your b18a will get u a fresh motor ready to make more power than the other 2 and loads more torque.

yeh i c wat ur sayin, but i dont think im goin to turbo it, i was thinkn it but not nemore, il just do otha mods wen im ready and if i wana which i dont know yet bc i havnt got the car bak yet lol. i know there will b hassles with the h22 but ive already got it n i dont wana waste a month tryin to find a 1.8, n the mechanic said it will take him 1-2 month to do it and ive got all the parts n the labour is already fixd up. neways a 90 integra with a h22 will b faster then a 90 integra with a b18

i disagree, i dont think ur h22a is going to be faster than if u did a b18c7 conversion. and the b18c7 is less hassles.

[SKREMN]

are you lookign at keeping them stock or do future mods?

[vtegra]

b18c7, which engine is that, like wat yr n stuff?
so y do u think it will b faster then the h22a?
