OK guys this is probably a stupid question but i have a 2000 Integra ls and my friend had a 99 Integra ls. We used to have friendly runs all the time and he will always take me by like 5 cars. We both had intake, header, and exhaust. His motor blew but he swapped it for a b20 and now he has sold the car. Should i buy his blown motor to do a rebuild and do my ls Vtec conversion?
Btw... His car used to burn lots of oil and smoked and i think it might have high compression pistons since it was pretty fast for what it was with no Vtec. He used to beat em1 civic si's and i was a witness lol. He is not mechanically inclined so the motor has been untouched ever since his mechanic did the swap. Is it worth it?
Any feed back will be appreciated thanks.

 

This all happened at the track right?

 

Yes, you can say that.

 

If u can get it for the rite price its worth it

 

How much is he selling the b20 for...you know those can be bought pretty cheap ya? Less then $700 tops...

Technically all you need is the bottom end and as the head will clearly do you no good since your going lsv. IMO I'd either start fresh, or buy the bottom end only...wouldn't pay more then $50 for it blown. It may be no good. And he should buy you a beer for taking it out of his garage mate!

 

He said 50 bucks

 

What's wrong with the block?

 

I can get a b20b complete motor for about 450 but its the low compression engines and it wont be useful since I'm trying to go Vtec.

 

Well it used to burn lots of oil and smoke pretty bad and one day it just gave up on him so I think it might be pistons rings but nevertheless it will probably need a rebuild.

 

Won't be useful???....my man, you need to take a look at this thread when you can:

Stock b20 bottoms w/vtec heads makin' 180-200+ HP all day long NOT Pointless...with a proper tune you can run 8200-8500 rpm all day long on that setup. I can vouch, my BFF runs stock bottom in his EG for over 4 years. It rips.

 

Word I didn't know that lol good looking out bro.

 

No doubt...that thread has 52+ pages of b20 setups that will make you drool.

Just do a little more research my friend...if you wanna go ape $hit take that low compression motor and go b20 tuuuuurrrrrrbbbbbooo vvveeeeeetttteeeeec. That'll make you throw up every time.

Not my cup of tea; but to each their own right?

GL!

 

bff as in best freind forever. thats gay
but yeah b20 are good motors with the extra .2 litres it makes a major difference when you throw a good flowing head on.

50 bucks is a good deal. the accessories are worth it

 

Will do man, appreciate it =0

 

Lol yea I'm going to make a choice in the next couple days and then go from their.

 

LMAO... but seriously keep that stuff off the streets. No one needs to get hurt

BTW I bought my b20b about two years ago from jdm tiger Japanese for 350 bucks and have yet to put it in a car lol. If you can grab it for the right price I would go for it.
