Hey, I need to know if there are any other people on this board with a b17 motor in their 92-95 civic? I would really like to be able to talk to some of you guys about tech stuff? So if you have a b17 in your EG, please respond and maybe you could help me out. Thanks!

B_CRUZ!

why can't B18C or B16 owners help you?

2muchPSI

well, i need to know how to hook up the vacuum lines on my engine, specifically the nipple on the back driver side of the intake manifold, right next to where the FPR line goes int the back of the intake manifold. I didnt think any other engine beside the b17 had this nipple, but I could be wrong.

I'm pretty sure Katman from http://www.jdmhondaparts.com and the FF-Squad had a B17 in his black EG (it was stolen from him).

hmmmmm.......anyone else have honda's blacksheep engine?

Why did they make the B17 with such low compression? Its something like 9.7:1, right?

2muchPSI

Yes, it has low compression. Does anyone have one? There has got to be somebody on the board with one.

2muchPSI

So does this mean I'm the only one?

lilhibbs has one in his EF. should work though.

2muchPSI

no one in a EG?

B17's were hard to come by because it was only a US motor...they weren't really in big supply. Not to mention a lot of the DA GS-Rs are still up and running. I am sure there are more users here with a B17, but I bet you won't find too many

2muchPSI

well, i guess i feel kinda special.........but there has to be someone else out there

i had one in my 95 coupe until i switched to h22. i just had the vacuum plugged. i miss that motor.

2muchPSI

what do u mean you just "had the vacuum plugged"?

eg6ajk

B17A = 1st gen B16A (JDM) with a crank/rods/pistons that are slightly different

follow this below.

Plug it up with a rubber "nipple" commonly found at auto parts store (NOT Kragen or Autozone), that means your local independent auto parts store. I will be dropping a B17 w/ P30's in my VX soon. So if you have any more questions, feel free to IM me. BTW, that extra outlet is for the purge valve found on the firewalls of the DAs which is of no use in the OBD-1 and newer cars.

thanks guys, i was told to take out the black box in the center of the firewall with the two vacuum lines running to it? Was this the correct thing to do?

nathn_ep3

hope you enjoy your b17 as much as i did, there was alot of puzzled people when they looked at my engine code. i had a 99 si tranny, i,h,e and ran a 14.5@96mph in my ex coupe.

2muchPSI

yeah, i cant wait to get it running right......

jcda6

The black box on the VX firewall is the EVAP box, you won't be needing it. On my old DA, the two purge valves along with the MAP sensor was mounted on the firewall. I'm not sure if the 92-93 GSR had the MAP sensor mounted on the firewall as well or on the throttle body. In any case, those two purge valves are not needed for a swap into a EG, so you're good to go. You'll enjoy it. While it might not have as much torque as the B18C, and we're only talking about a 3-8lb-ft loss, here, you're still a bit better off than the B16's. I would estimate the torque to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 115-123lb-ft with a stock B17.

cool, i still find it hard to believe im the only one with a b17 on this board right now.

nsxmatt

They only made 4,000 92-93 Integra GSR's with the B17. So the B17 is much more rare than USDM Type R motor.

STHPERFORMANCE

I have the blacksheep Ys1 92-93 Gsr tranny.... It is great, best tranny i've ever encountered.... All i need is a Quaife yet and i am set...

gamby

Think back 11 years ago. This motor was insane at the time--regardless of whether it was usdm or jdm! That specific output and high redline were only seen in exotics at the time.

Props to people w/ a B17 swap.

The HamsterBall

what was it's redline? how much HP stock? is it good for turbo-ing with that low compression? tell me more!
