b18C itr or ls vtec b18b w itr head
i have a 2000 integra LS that im looking to drop a swap in
can i get some advice, any thoughts, or recommendations.
not sure if i should go w my original plan of piecing together my ITR b18c motor, or putting together a simple ls vtec w a built itr head and stage 2 cams.
my plan was to DD my integra while being able to track it on the weekends and really get the rpms up there to 8-9k
as far as suspension goes im pretty much done with all that,
any advice on what motor setup would be best would be greatly appreciated
i will post some pictures up asap

Re: b18C itr or ls vtec b18b w itr head
no brainer, get the stock itr swap. you will have 28-30mpg and oe reliability. i've had a couple over the years and as long as you buy from a place that compression tests everything you're good to go.
these build projects always have you tinkering with and fixing something
the stock itr you just change the timing belt, get new wires, plugs, cap/rotor, pcv and a seal or two if needed and run it.
i put 75k on one of my jdm itr swaps without wrenching on ****...would have gone longer if i didn't turbo it and crack a piston. the itr engine after that i left stock, drove about 2500 miles and sold the car. engine was pristine
sell your bucket of parts and get a factory motor

Re: b18C itr or ls vtec b18b w itr head
i actually got the head for free from a friend who was moving out of the states.
i did my research and i found out that the head was port and polished by Ericks Racing-Alaniz w 1100.00 + in port work as well as brand new supertech valves,retainers, and springs. as well as stage 2 cams.
you can find a good ITR head w stock port and polish for give or take 900.00 complete minus dizzy, intake mani, exhaust mani..
i believe HMO may have a ITR head for sale

Re: b18C itr or ls vtec b18b w itr head
Going to be changing the bottom end if doing lsv? cause i dont think the compression is good enough to run "stage 2 cams"
Anyways what kind of stage 2 cams?

Re: b18C itr or ls vtec b18b w itr head
if i went the lsv route ofcourse id be using a ls block such as a b18b/b1 and to bump the compression use p73 itr pistons.

i would say the difference between hearing and having a ST valve go bad on you is only from experience.. If you dig deep enough you will find dirt on every part. No valve is infallable, unfortunately lol.

myles aka gringotegra had a supertech valve literally break in half. wrecked the engine. the fererra stuff is a one piece forging.

That Racebum, i will keep in mind and hope i dont blow my itr to pieces..
i may just change the valves while the motor is apart and play it safe
