my car already has a body kit on it, a nice one.. now i just wanna know what type of motor can fit into it.. 1989 LS honda integra 1.8 litre..
i hope maybe like a 2.0 litre vtec or turbo or something.. lol ?

 

pretty sure the engine in your car is a 1.6, unless you already swapped it out. do you want to build it or swapp something else into it? i put a zc dohc in my 89 integra and it pulls pretty good for a 1.6. whats your budget?

 

it's a 1.8 litre..


i also have a integra 86 that is a 1.6 litre..

what's the engine code on the 89? i always thought the 1st gens all came with 1.6's.

 

I have the same car,and it did have a 1.6 ,but it was a jdm model.Anyway I went with the b16 a1 in my car and am loving it , its a little work, but tranny mounts right up . I would recommend that if you are planning to upgrade Any internals you do it first , it made a world of difference.

I had an 88' LS which was 1.6...

I also went with the zc dohc. But eh.. loving my 3rd gen way more than the 1st.

 

He has a G2 Teg guys. Not a first gen. I would say do a rebuild on the stock block and get ahold of a VTEC head for it.

 

engine capacity is 1834.0
model is a inte89a..
engine number is b18a11701772

thats me on the kawasaki ninja
thats my car in the background...
it has a body kit also ^^

 

i am about to get a car from my friend down the street it is an 89ls coupe 1.8 it is auto going to manny swap after a while but i am just going to buy a dohc zc

 

So, Any information?

Start with the search link. Type in lsvtec.

 

with the b18a1 what would be better..

vtec head?
or
turbo?
or
both?

whats the process?

is it even worth it?
After rebuilding the motor, would i have to get a vtec chip?

What is possible?
Anything with the right amount of money and tuning.
Both will be required, regardless of whether you choose turbo, ls vtec or both.
Start by doing some research here to see which you'd prefer.
And do yourself a favor, spend the money to do it right the first time.
