i am looking to swap out my tired ls motor from a 94 integra. i was looking at the b16a2,would that be a good swap? and would a new ecu be needed and what kind?...thanks

B16 into an Integra is a really bad swap...you're not going to be happy with the results. Best bet is get a B16 head and build an LS/VTEC or buy a GSR swap.....

IMO B16 swaps into DCs is one of the worst possible swaps...

I would do an Ls/vtec. Search around because this topic has been covered more times than you could imagine.

Thanks alot for the heads up..why is it a bad swap tho?

that motor doesnt make enough power or toque to pull that chassis. Its just to heavy for that motor. And if you went LS/vtec youll be a lot happier and its cheaper.

lsvtek

dont get a b16 motor in your integra. Your b18 motor will pull harder then the b16. Those motors are no good in integras since they have low tq. Those motors are ment to be in light cars like CRX or Civic hatch

Just like my friends b16 Gen 2 pulled on your LS?

jdm gen 2 tegs came with a b16. so a b16 would be good in a DA chasis, but in a DC chasis that motor is useless.

not useless but not preferred by many because it was never in a gen 3. shoot i would take a fully built b16 an put it in my teg. And the b16 is in 99-00 si's and those cars are just as heavy as an integra so they can pull it fine. well after 5000 rpm's anyway

I got a B16 in my Da .. work done to it and it's not that bad .. i like it and think its a good swap for a Da

How would you know if you had to ask someone who really won? The race was neck and neck(also the driver in the DA was much better then me, imagine if a good driver drove my car). You even heard it too, but you have to get me all mad and **** just so you can feel better lol. Its like when you told me kevin's integra pulled on my 330?? Cmon man, you should know better.

4dr 94 integra vs DA integra with swap was a NECK and NECK race. Thats it

good thing i didnt get it...i just got a used gsr head off my friend...thanks for the help cause i was really gonna buy the b16..it sounded good on paper, but guess not...well thanks again for the help

What's the elevation down in the springs, it's over 6000 feet right? Here in Denver at 5400 feet any NA honda feels slow as crap, you're better off going turbo as long as your motor is still halfway decent with good compression.

Ya, B16 in a DC is slow. Your going to have MUCH better numbers with a LS Vtec. Just build it right and you wont have a problem

Jtuned DC2

Just like you shoulda built yours right in the first place?

If you're going to continue to bitch about unrelated topics, you can atleast take it up in pm.

Yes, stop bitching... just got because you got your GSR you shouldnt be trieng to brag "VTEC... VTEC..." I really do not care

Again, LS Vtec is the way to go. Just built it up right, tune it right and **** and you'll have a fast DC

Thats a lot of sh*t talking for a guy that doesnt even know how to race from a roll. I've seen the video. 2 cars were not even lined up. You were already ahead when you took off. and you took off on the 2nd honk. Try racing again. actually line up. and go on the 3rd honk smart guy.

You guys just need to stop b*tching at each other and go build your cars.


Back on Topic. If you're not going to build the motors the B16 wouldnt be the best choice. But if you're going to build it up. B16's will do just fine in a DC.

What the hell are you talking about you ****** panzee. I wasnt even driving the damn car. And you werent there. And they both went from one honk. Stop trying to defend you internet boyfriend and change your ugly avatar..

I wasnt there, But I saw the videos. Trust me I've built plenty of fast motors. Been around plenty of fast cars. I know an idiot when I see one. And what I saw was deffinately an idiot driving.

Panzee? hahaha come up here to Portland and I'll show you a pansy. Better yet, I'm comming down there this summer. Give me a name and adress and I'll come by and show you a pansy.

would you rather see a naked guy on avatar? shut up and finish High school.

You will feel more of a diffrence if you do a LS Vtec build. You will regret doing b16

i know they have low tq but the xsi came with a b16

lsvtek

well I really dont know. I just seen a few b16 integras, and they seem slow. B16 is best for light cars like civic and crx, unless the b16 is built
