I am currently driving a turboed dc2 integra that I have put more than alot of money into. I want to sell her to get an 01-02 double cab Toyota Tacoma. But before I do that, I want to swap my motor into my girls (which will be mine when she gets her s2k) 92 DA integra, so I can still have a car to drive and work on. My question is, should I put her B18A with 130k into my gsr(100k on clock) and try to sell it like that or should I swap an H22 into it and sell it with that? What do you guys think my best bet would be and which one would get me the most money? If you have other suggestions, please say! Here's pics of the outside so you can see the condition. NO RUST!

 

Just sell it with the LS motor, of course you could get more $ with an H22a but you probably wouldn't get what you paid for the motor back... plus the LS motor is free.

 

im lovin where u put ur boost controller

 

personally i would keep the motor you have in it right now..just like the guy said...the ls motor is free...and you would get more money out of the h22 but i would rather have an ls with a turbo...

 

nevermind the turbo though...sry do the ls..since you already have it

I think you read it wrong bro! The dude told me to sell my car with the ls swap instead of swapping an h22. I want to keep my motor and put it into the DA.

Thanks bro!

 

why dont you put an h22 in your girls car(that is going to be yours) and keep the turbo from your gsr and make a kit to go on the h22(since an h22 is one of your options)

 

^^yeah, i could do that, but the gsr motor is built and I dont feel like putting that much money into another motor. That did cross my mind though, not too many DAs have an h22 swap. The point of me swapping my motor to her car is to keep the motor I have so much money into.
How much do you guys think I could get for my gsr with her LS motor in it?

 

lighter car..same motor and noone expects to see a b18 when i pop the hood, around here atleast. are u swapping the tranny too? cause DA's cable and ur hydro..

 

Yeah, if I swap, my trannys is going with it. But that last dude got me thinking about an H22 in the car now. Dammit!! I keep thinking of a bore and sleeved H22 motor in the DA now and how much more hp and tq that monster would have. I'm so indecisive!!

 

don't think people will buy your car if your DA engine in, will not pass inspections.
Can not put a older engine in a later model.

yeah but 10x's more have gsr swaps..

 

Just put your turbo kit on the LS

 

i'd keep the DC... my 2c

 

i'd swap the gsr into the da. h22 in a da is gonna be a lot of work.. won't be worth the money. also you can pass emissions with the b18a in the dc.. just change a couple of things. visual wise.. being that it says b18a.. i don't know (for people in washington we don't have to worry about that). but the person buying your car probably wouldn't care too much. i'm sure you'll find someone to buy the car like that. btw, i wouldn't wanna sell a motor i put a lot of work into.

 

I think if you wanted to get your most money out of the deal, and were willing to spend some time on this, I'd sell the DC2 shell w/o a motor; Who is going to want to by a GSR w\ a B18A with a lot of miles on it?

Sell the DC2 as a shell, then pull your B18A, and rebuild it and build it up for turbo, and sell the motor seperate.
