Hello all Honda-Tech Members, Fans, and friends and whoever views this post.
Just signed up on here, always come on here for good info on all the time I usually have 2nd thoughts on but FINALLY signed up haha

Just a little background of me, My name is Corey obviously, im from San Antonio TX. Been in the Import scene down here for about 4 years and from a Local site which is highly known around here that is ran by a Gentlemen by the name of 'Skunk'. www.sanantonio-imports.com


Currently in the Army National Guard, Im active duty status. Always busy on Camp Swift but cannot get my head out of the import scene, still things I want to do and grow around haha

Any who, done with all the intro crap, to get to the good stuff.

------------== B20V Round About ==-----------

First to start with, I got a 1993 Acura Integra i picked up from Taylor TX in the middle of no where for 1800 dollars. It had the original B18a1 LS motor with the YS1 LS Cable 5 SPD tranny, all bone stock. This is how it is Now.











Well after having it for a few days ive started noticing i had a little bit of a hard valve taping then 5 hours later leaving from Austin TX from a car meet the motor died on me and after obvserving the timing and everything. Valves were bent and the timing just jumped out of no where. So thats when i knew the timing belt tensioner gave out.

So i gave Max Ramos a call on a motor swap and what he had avaliable. After about 15 minutes of discussion on what would be a good daily motor for building down the road and good for my 400+ miles every week back and forth from base in Bastrop TX. I went with a B20B and was very satisfied with what I got.

Couple months later i started doing research and picking at peoples brains that had great knowledge , started throwing numbers together and what parts i could get my hands on.

So i dynoed my car at JMS in San antonio to see where my car stands as it is now. I Dynoed it after waiting like 10 hours because it was a dyno day and EVERYONE was over there, the numbers i pulled were 107 HP with 110 lbs of Torque. I didnt really expect the numbers but i was satisfied with the line of torque i got.



At San Antonio Race way off of i10 going towards Houston i did a 1/4 of 16.21 at 87 MPH, I didnt think it was to bad considering all stock CRV motor in a 2600+ LBS shell



After Analyzing where i was standing at and what i could use to get better numbers than i do now, this is the current build i am doing and ALREADY have all parts avaliable and starting tomorrow morning of MARCH 7th 2012.

The parts I am Listing are what I have ordered already. Feedback Positive or Negetive are greatly Apperciated.

Welcome! Looks like you got a hell of a car bro. Nice, clean and looks like you got a good build going.

stocker2shocker91

looks like a good build so far

LS-Rman

From one DA guy to another, "Keep them on the road!" I love the gen 2's. I currently own 2 of the a 90 DB1 with a B20b swap and a 91 DA9 with a B18c, ITR pistons, Skunk2 turbo stage 2 cams and a newly added t3/t4. I have been think about doing a head swap on the DB1, but for now it is my Daily Driver till I get the bugs worked out on the DA. Looks good so far!

phaphon

make sure you balance your rotating assemble. and use a vtec oil pump and water pump

DirtyDA9

Clean car, sweet build

I would get a JDP front lip to replace that one though. That's just me though.

CoreyEX

i know, this lip wasnt even made for my bumper. so i made it fit.... It works for now hahaha, ill worry about cosmetics after performance :} but good eye there haha :]

CoreyEX

Yeah gonna be using a Type R oil pump. Same oil pump Max Ramos here locally that runs 8.93's 171mph uses, stock type R oil pump, never has any problems.

Water pump, im using GSR

and rotate? No need to.

CoreyEX

Recently have changed my shell from a 1993 DA9 Teggy --> Canadian 1989 Civic DX Hatch back.

Upgrades consist of:

- Lighter, of course [ 2600 lbs --> 1800 roughly ]
- Full race front traction bar
- OBD0 --> OBD1 Under dash harness conversion
- OBD0 --> OBD1 ECU jumper harness
- Hasport Engine Mounts [ All around ]
- Front and back Sway bars
- Koni yellow Ground control Full Coilovers
- Front/back Aftermarket Camberkit
- Rear aftermarket Control arms


Well, I got a LOT of pictures of the car, project body and interior wise is on its way, just a matter of time and money. Real excited for this car on the vision I have for it. Always wanted a EF hatch <3

Thanks for reading, enjoy the pictures...

CoreyEX

JUST forgot to throw it in here, I have upgraded to Tri-Y big tube headers from DNA motoring, and full straight pipe 3in exhaust [ Need 2 resonators, the noise is rediculous BUT my top end has increased dramatically and acceleration ]

More pictures... :X

Hi guys my name is David I was looking at this thread and I had questions because I'm planning on doing my own swap on a 90' da9. I want to drop a b20b into it the car I'm getting is jut a rolling shell so I need to provide a whole powertrain and any other things associated with that. Can anyone provide a detailed parts list just so I can get all the money saved up and so I'm not spending money on parts I don't need
also haven't gotten a tranny yet any recommendations?

Rayle

Hi David, firstly, it's best to start a new thread instead of resurrecting a 5-year old one...

Take a look at B20 Swap info - Team Integra Forums - Team Integra for what you'll need to get from a B18A1 to do the swap.

Regarding transmissions, DA9s use a cable transmission so it makes it a lot easier using another cable transmission instead of converting to hydro. The cable Y1 that came with early B16As or a YS1 from a DB2 (GSR) will probably be the best options, but Y1s are a lot more common and some have an optional LSD. The gearing on these are identical and are much shorter than the gears on the stock YS1 transmission that comes on a B18A1, so it'll accelerate faster and feel more fun.

Your other option is to transfer the internals from a hydro transmission into a cable bellhousing, but if you're just going to be running a stock B20B then it's probably not worth it.
