A buddy of mine just came up with an 89 Integra oh his car lot. Body is in great shape, engine hydro locked due to a hole in the intake.

I can get the shell of this car for free. Lets put it this way. Pristine body, no rust on quarters, anything, body is in excellent shape, interior is clean as well, stock Civic 15 steelies w/EK hubs on them, stock height.

Been reading around about things, it appears as if the OBD-0 B16 will fit into the shell with little to no modification.

Suggestions, rants, raves. I want to see what all has to be done to do this, Need a winter project to take time and to make the winter go by fast. I am sort of expierenced when it comes to motor swaps, helped a buddy with his H22A swap, a B16 swap, a D16Z6 rebuild for boost, and my own H22 in my 94 Accord Sedan. Had to take it to a shop to finish it because I didn't have the tools, but I do now. Not a total noob, wiring is my bag too.



Thanks to all for have an idea. Suggestions on what motor to put in, what to do for the cheapest cost, and the most 'economic,' is fine.

 

i would go for it dude. Keep it clean and you'll get mad respect.

 

dude, this was my dream when i had my flip light integra! go for it. i would of but i didn't have the money and my dad sold it

i still got mad love for those and i plan to get another one soon.

 

Okay, my question was, does this go right in without major mods. And yeah. I look forward to doing this as well. Swap projects FTW.

Also, if I were to buy a clutch kit for a newer SI with a B16 in it, they would all mate up with no problems? Just wanted to make sure my memory on the B series is still up to date, the H22 in my Accord has consumed most of my swap-sense.
