Is the b18b engine in the LS have as far as honda engines go, have decent torque?
Is that engine responsive to siimple bolt ons?

 

the b18b1 has 127 ft lbs of torque. Is it a lot of torque, not really? Is it more than any civic has, yes? There isn't very many hondas that have torque at all so keep that in mind. I personally feel that it is a responsive motor to bolt ons also.

 

Closest thing to torque from a honda -> B20B or B20Z

 

i have more torque than stock gsrs at 6-7psi untuned.

LSs are known for torque.

 

Yeah they are torque monsters..all 127 lbs hit you like a load of bricks

 

Ya you got that right its got more torque than my s2k....

 

they have more tq than itrs do stock i think .
last time i checked mine i was at 132 all motor

 

its not how much they have, but the fact that the torque curves on the b18b are better than that of the b18c motors, up till a certain point. from ~0-3.5 - 4 krpms the b18b produces more torque then the b18c series. but after that the b18c really starts to shine and takes over. thats why the ls will pull on the gsr from a stop.
the larger honda motors make more torque tho, the h22, h23, hell even the f22(accord engine if im not mistaken) makes more. i can definetly feel the increase when i go from driving my ls to my moms accord.
more torque usualy means more displacment or fi.
dont let peak numbers fool you, youve got to look at where the power is being produced, and for how long.

 

So damn true man.. I drive a 95 integra ls (love it to death) but i drive my mom's 91 accord ex for fun and I do feel more torque when i drive it.. It feels like boost off the line but its just sohc f22, but i think my LS will own it in the 1/4 mile... DOHC at 75000 rpm sounds great!

 

Yes sir, I concur!

 

Thats why you do LS/VTEC get the torque gain and better displacement from the LS/VTEC, with the VTEC head, and put some ITR pistons in there and you have a winner.... mine is gone now however... ******* theives. will die.

 

What about...

NSX -> 224lbs/ft
CL-S -> 232lbs/ft
RL -> 231lbs/ft

 

I have 197lbs/ft. But then again, I'm turbo'd.

 

Yes, the B18B1 is the LS Integra. The torque is decent....for a Honda. Nothing spectacular by any means. Add a turbo on that motor and your torque will skyrocket.

Responsive to simple boltons you ask? What's your definition of simple? And intake, header, and exhaust aren't going to do that much. Are cams simple for you? Crower makes lots of non-vtec applications that will get you lots of power. Depends again on what you call "simple." A turbo is a "bolton" too. Hehe.

 

yes

 

yea how much ballpark power am i looking at with those mods? And ive heard putting a VTEC head on their will gain some sweet power. Is that correct?

 

stock Si and Vtec preludes got 156 torque kinda beefy

 

No honda (with couple exceptions) will give you decent torque, even with bolt ons.

 

kinda heavy too

 

I love driving my friend's b20vtec 2nd gen integra. Torque is great.

How about no 4cyl honda

Most people think, honda engine, 4cyl. But the V6's do have a good amount of torque.
