LS has more torque and is cheaper. B16 has more horsepower and is more expensive. Do some research.

I Like the Ls swap 140hp with torque and if you add turbo and the right fuel management system ... my buddies making 300 with stock internals

I went B16 back in the day and regret not going LS.

Torque makes a fun daily driver.

I would personally go with a B20 with LS cyl. head and Intake Manifold. Just as a daily driver I think that would be real fun. But yeah I'd go with an LS over a b16

I prefer Ls already in a integra than a swap ls or a swap b16.....because with the money to swap those motors you can already bulid the motor and boost.....and integra's i think have better handling....so with the money to buy a civic and to do a swap.....u can have a 13 second car......

thats just my thoughts

I don't know if they are the same or not all I know is that you have to use the LS intake manifold if you do b20.

On another note, I would really love a 2000-2001 Integra LS with a B20 turbo setup

you found a ls swap with 60k miles for 1250???????????????????????

if so WHERE THE HELL DID YOU FIND THAT?????

if your asking if you can find a ls swap for 1250 with that low of miles, good luck, and if u do manage, tell me where you found it cuz ive been wanting to do a motor swap, but keep changing my mind, and i think im set on the b18b, but cant even find an offer for one, besides one thats like 150k miles on it
