I know this may sound like a stupid typical question but there are more parts to mine. My question is what would be a better swap into my 93 hatch shell under these conditions.
I have a b18 with the tranny in great condition out of a 98 LS, and i know that it has super low miles and was taken very good care of. If i keep that engine then i would also keep full gs-r interior for the hatch along with the brake conversion, and i would have around $1200 to spend on the engine. I dont need rims or anything cosmetic because that is already on the car.
If I were to go with the b16a2 it has an unknown amount of miles somewhere around 100k the owner thinks. I don't know how it was driven or taken care of, but it does work strong and seem to sound fine, but who knows how long that lasts, and i would also have to give up the gs-r interior, the break conversion, and I wouldn't have nearly $1200 to spend, more like $100.
Please help me out with opinions, right now I am leaning towards the LS swap i just wanted to hear some other opinions. I'm not looking to spend much money. I got a really clean shell with very clean mods nothing rice for $1000 clean title and everything, already lowered on skunk 2 with shocks. It is red with black gt3s and blacked out headlights. I got the entire wrecked Integra LS, with engine, gs-r interior, break conversion, and anything else i need out of it for $100 dollars, and sold the three good ls mesh rims on it for a $100 so the car came out free. I got another full LS swap out of a destroyed LS and took the suspension and brakes and other things to sell, all for $20. I am also selling my 97 civic lx coupe for cheap just to have money just in case. So really I want to have a nice clean quick car for cheap and possibly make money.

without a doubt keep the ls, gsr interior, and brake conversion!! I am almost 100 percent certain that everyone else who reads your post will agree.

yea i agree with the above

yeah just keep the LS swap. when you drop it into the 93 all you need is a 94-95 LS p75 ecu. everythin else in the engine bay you can keep obd-2 and it will run fine

For sure. The LS is a great motor and if you plan on doing any engine mods down the road like turbo you will be able to do it for cheaper than the B16. Sell the GSR dash if you have it and that right there is some extra $$$

Thanks a lot guys. When making a decision it always helps to get some other peoples opinions. I actually have the computer too, so I'm turning out pretty lucky. Thanks again.

I have owned an LS and B16 motor in my old hatch and I would pick the LS motor without a doubt....because torque is where it's at. In your case, you may be better off with the LS deal because of the extra stuff you are getting with it.
