i tried posting this in the integra forum with no luck

ok i recently found a gsr (b18c1) engine in a junk yard about an hour from my house. Now right now i do not know the condition of the engine, because i found it on the junkyards website.
but assuming its complete the engine has 99,000 miles on it. i have a few questions.

1) What kinds of things would i need to replace?
2) What are some things to look for if i go look at it.

its a 96 so that is ODB2 right?

and what would i need to get it to work in my 99 DX (non VTEC)

yes i am also searching

It is obd2 , so it should be a plug and play.
Replace timing belt, water pump, all fluids.

just get a tune up on the motor....it is an obd2 motor and i think you just need to wire the vtec up. or maybe it is just plug and play. hopefully you get it, i would.

do they do leakdown and compression testing there?

how much

it is an obd2 motor..... 94-95 integs were obd1

i know because i was going to buy an obd2 96 motor

i will have to wire up the vtec (if i even do the swap) since i dont have vtec now.

they also have a b18b their, so im also going to be asking them about that as well

thanks for the info guys

Consider changing the head gasket

FifthGearOnline

yea, the 2 things i knew i would change if i get it was the timing belt and water pump, and the head gasket.

Usually putting an older engine in a newer car is illegal in most places, but that wouldn't bother me, would it bother you?

tear it down and rebuild it first

With 99K, might want to freshen up the head surface and replace the valve seals one time. Verify that you will be getting the IAB box for the dual runners (commonly left out)

DX is wired for vtec up to the engine bay, so vtec wiring will be simple.

Also get new:

Spark plug seals, radiator hoses, cap/rotor, plug wires, oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket, all fluids...the usual tune up crap.

You may also want to upgrade to a double core (del sol) radiator if you live in a hot climate (100+deg F).

thats the EXACT info i was looking for!!!

what eactly is the IAB? and how much would it cost to get the head milled (i think thats what you mean) and get the valve seals replaced?
