Blackout.

Alright, first off this is my first post so I'll just explain my situation. I am 18 years old, currently working full time until september, which I'm off to college for auto.

I currently have a 97 anniversary edition Integra which is in need of some work...

-I have a third gear bypass in my transmission (third slips ..)
-and I have no compression in one of the clyinders..
-Car also has 390k on it (suprisingly the body is in great condition minus very little surface rust, which I can take care off..)

Car was a gift from my father, (passed down, was his old car) but it does need work, which he said he will pay for. Before I was planning to sell this car and buy a 93-95+ nissan 240sx kouki/zenki (kouki preferably, sr or rb powered) or a 98-99 subaru 2.5RS and convert it to a 93 JSPEC gc8, but my buyer backed out.

So I'm going to keep this car, but instead of rebuilding the car I'm going to consider a b18c1 full swap which will cost me $2000-3300(not including labour)(JDM toronto prices the engine at $2130..yes canadian)
currently have a b18a1 I believe (non vtech).. so I was just wondering if people have done this swap before? after this and body work, the car will run and look practically new. Here are some pictures of my integra:

I was looking also for a trany, but for a full swap at JDM toronto it's 3300, which I do not want to spend... would any Integra 5sp trany work with my b18c1 engine?

yes it should. clutch and flywheel is a diffrent story... cable or hyrdo...

Can you explain a bit more?

I just don't want to pay $1100 for a GSR trany when I could find something else for cheaper..

theres a diffrence in all the transmissions... grs, b16, typer,ls..ect... ls with the longets gear sets.. b16 closer. typeR lsd, gsr decently fun. also hydorlic and cable trannys have diffrent splines on the shafts...which means diffrent clutchs

If you're looking for a full swap on a budget, I have an LS VTEC for sale which I just built. I bought a J swap so I'm selling my full setup which is currently in my Integra. I'm looking to get rid of it fast, $1500 for everything. I live in Hamilton let me know if you're interested.

what trany would you guys suggest I go with my ba18c1?

other then the obvious GSR trany

bro if you know how to do the swap yourself it would be real easy so here's what i would do get yourself a gsr or b16 or just another ls get the b16 tranny or if you're trying to save money keep the one you got along with you flywheel and clutch put it back together drop it in and bam you're done...

Never considered a b16, my tranny has a third gear bypass, it slips out.. so I would rather get something else..
