hey i think that would be a pretty unique car myself. do it, then blow that jack *** ^^^ off the track and go home smiling!

KUMAR

are you going to try to boost it?

that would be badass

alexdelsol94

nope im not trying to boost or anything, i just want to slap in the single i have, imight just leave it in there just as long as it rides decent. like i said before, im not a speed racer fan, im just more of a clean looks kinda guy so the slower and lower the better, when i finish, i want to be able to own the dumpstars thread lol.

na but thanks for all the input guys. oh btw, i did buy that gsr shell. here is a pic. not bad for only 100 dollar

camden

i just an fyi... i just picked up a dc2 shell the other day also. i went to a local junk yard and thought, "sweet, a ls." sure enough i walk over and it has some sort of d series in it. i was in awe. but i think i might go back soon to get the tail lights off of it so lmk if you want pics of anything

khmers0uljah

Damn $100 for a shell?! I've sold shoes that costed more than that lol.

pingar

I think it can be a good idea if you want the MPG of a Civic but like the looks of an Integra better.

jdmjoka

cool stuff

CP3

whyyyy would u think of doing that wit that swap its gonna feel like u only have 10 hp.

DC_Legacy

Hey for a hundred bucks I'd swap that D in it, when its all said and done rather you swap a more powerful motor in it or not you'll probably came out with less money spent then half the people I know. Nice find

efsohc

guy at my school had one still running a stock LS computer, i lold whenever he would pop the hood to show off his motor

dc2_dude

i did while my motor was being built cuz my race car is my DD

i dunno about getting mpg of a civic tegs are quite a bit heavier and will therefore drop the mpg rating by like 5 which in turn meaning you're back to stock teg mpg of around 28-30~ for average epa listing. i know some ppl who get over 33+ on ls gsr OR itr motors but less go according to epa for this example
civic is what like 25-39?
teg is 25/30 and a couple hundred pounds heavier

this means that the torqueless and powerless d-series will have to work very hard to move that teg. = more throttle = more gas wasted

alexdelsol94

correction, a 99 civic ex 4 door single cam vtec weighs 2,513 lbs

a 96 gsr which is what my car is weighs 2,667

now do the math, the integra is 154 lbs heavier than the civic 4 door ex but also remember that the gsr swap also weight twice as much as the single cam.
soooo that being said, if i put the single cam in the teg than the tegs weight will be just around the same as a civic 4 door ex with the same motor.

oh and btw, i searched around for numbers and did my math so all these numbers and calculations are corrrect.

get my drift?

PowerLeg

wow do i have a dead body hidden in my car? i've got it weighed at 28xx (NEARLY at the 2.9k point!!) during smogs and it was listed the same weight on both smogs...

i doubt the 2nd time it was possible because it was like a very skinny 5ft guy...

b17rider

trade it for a LS atleast CMON!

alexdelsol94

na man, maybe in the future when im done with the rhd conversion then ill think about swapping it for a b20 or an ls but like i said, im not a big racing fan, that and i can never get a moving traffic violation cause i can loose my job ,so i will stay slow and low.

paton5g

ah dude, DO IT. don't listen to anyone who says this is silly or cruel to integra owners everywhere, etc. you do what you want. you're going to anyway so why would people try to sway you.

drop it in, drive it. done.

alexdelsol94

yessir, you are so right. they can argue and talk but i have my mind set. for some odd reason ive been wanting to do this real bad

khmers0uljah

Yeah man do it! 30 MPG ftw.

sp00ledbseries

ive been wanting to do it for a while just to do it. and screw it its your car you got the shell dirt cheap so why not do it make a dd out of it yo.

MILFHUNTERDA

Ive seen this b4 on a car 4sale on craigslist.......dnt understand why u would go through the trouble....u can probly get an ls motor 4 the same price of a single cam....

I should hope he gets more than that. I already get 30+ MPG with my stock B18C1 with 274K+ miles on it.

nightscream

DO IT MAN!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to do the samething to my wifes GSR so I could build up the motor just never got around to it and now she's just giving me the car anyway! FTW its your car and swap and after all is said and done you will have what maybe 300-500 in it.

alexdelsol94

not really, you cant get an ls compleate swap for 150 bux can you. thats what i got mu single to mingle for.
