well I personally have not ordered from there, but im a little confused about this motor they are selling.

Unless the car it came from was modded with that turbo or something, but I do not believe that an integra ever came with a turbo, or that a gsr ever came with a red valve cover.

hmotorsonline.com

You CAN'T go wrong there. If something is wrong when you get it, CALL them before flipping out, they WILL take care of you.

When I did my swap, after about a month my trans wouldn't go into reverse. Well I called them, and they said if it is indeed inside the trans, they would re-build it for free.

I've heard good things about Hmotorsonline.com but the other site offers a/c and power steering.
I live in Cali where it get's hot and power steering in my opinion is best Thanks

Have you ever driven a car without power sterring? If so, then you would notice power sterring disappers after 3-5 mph. I love no power steering. I feel like I am in more control. Also, after a few weeks, your arm muscle get stronger to the difference of it, and you can't even notice it any more.

A/C compressor really wont matter, you reuse the civic unit anyway. If I remember correctly the power steering is the same deal. You will need a '94 - '97 del sol vtec A/C compressor bracket though, or one from a '99 CR-V. But, if there is something you want in a particular swap and you don't see it, call hmotors and tell them what you're looking for, i'm sure they'd be more than happy to work with you.

'94 was the first year for the B18C1. There are some rumors of JDM OBD1 ITR engines.

No I have never driven without power steering, my friend has a hatch with a b16a swap no p/s no a/c he likes it too but I guess it's not for everyone.

From my experiences, they suck.

My roommate ordered a D15B from them and it came without a bunch of ****, like sensors and blah blah blah.
