Have you ever done a B series swap??

 

u can do like i did. heres how it went down
talk to ex-girlfirend's dad and buy his crx..............................................$ 50.00
drive around and find a wrecked integra, and buy it for dirt....................$100.00
buy motor mounts and shift linkage for LS swap....................................$325.00
go to junkyard and find an si version of ur car and take the harness.......$25.00
find some 88-89 integra axles i work at kragen so i get fat discount .......$100.00
misc parts like fluid, hoses, plugs. ect............................................... ....$30.00

and there u have a complete swap for $700.00 and its refereed. whahahahahahaha
cant beat that now can u?

heres a pic of the process of the swap wat u think i kno its kinda small. enjoy

 

i have never done any kind of engine swap. i havent done much with cars due to the fact that i just got one. any smaller not so expensive ups i could do to get some more power?

If the motor is in good shape, change it to MPFI for starters
Look for an Si harness, injectors, manifold, TB

 

Or look to pick up a D16A6 (Stock Si motor for our cars) from a junkyard or in the classifieds. People like our b-series fan above throw them away to swap in the almighty B16A all the time.

well duh, didn't you know that doing what the latest fad is makes you super knowledgable??

converting to mpfi (multi port fuel injection) instead of the dpfi (dual port) setup you've got right now would be the best bang for your buck without spending too much money. just get on here (or go to ef-honda.com's knowledge base since you can't search yet) and check out what all is needed for mpfi.

 

what exactly does this change do and it is hard to do?

dpfi to mpfi

instead of having two injectors that power your four cylinders, you have four, more gas equals more power, you have to either switch or convert your standard harness to an si, swap intakes, get injectors have fun
