i have a 97 sedan and its a d16y7 now. i want to do an ls swap. what would be the easiest way to go about doing this?? hmotorsonline.com?? or just buying **** seperatly. i want to spend the least amount of money as possible.
any help would be nice.
thanks

 

searching around in your local area would be the cheapest way. Thats how i found my LS...i just searched around, made some phone calls to fine the best+cheapest.

 

yea. that sounds like a good plan i guess. thanks man

 

Local is usually the best way to go, i got my B16A from jdmsource.ca Like 125 shipped, together i paid 2025 with everything included, and it only took 5 days to get it, in Louisiana from Canada.

 

yea i was going to get the complete changeover from hmotorsonline but i think it would be easiest to go locally now that you guys mention it

 

jdmsource.ca looks like a really good site to buy from. ill have to give them a call

 

If it were me, i'd buy an LS locally, and mate it with a gsr or b16 tranny. You'll eat b16's for lunch and have enough torque to make daily driving comfortable.

 

buy my longblock instead
it will do over 400whp with a gt40
I'll drive a ways...

But yes, locally really is the way to go. Junk yards usually have at least one integra, and really, all b18a/b's are the same.
Ordering online is alright sometimes... You can usually get some kind of startup warranty, where you wont always, with a junk yard. However, shipping can be pretty damn high...

 

that sounds realll good. it sounds sick to eat b16's for lunch.

The intelligence and unknowing bias never cease to amaze me. I do believe this is one of the reasons why I don't frequent this forum anymore.

Regardless, the first portion of the information you posted was correct. I would also get a B16/GSR tranny and mate it with the LS if that is the motor you want to go with. It's also a good platform to drop a vtec head on later and make pretty damn good power.
