hey guys whats up
Im planning on upgrading from my zc to a 92 integra Ls motor soon and I was wondering is there a lot of performance stuff available such as intake manifolds cam shafts etc because I want to go all motor I know you guys are gonna say b16a or gsr motor but id rather stick to the ls motor any help would be great

 

yes theres a lot of aftermarket parts for the LS, you should get it, i have one in my rex si and damn that thing pulls

 

ok sorry for posting this here(woulda posted it in newbie questions but it seems to have disappeared). is the LS motor a dohc vtec, dohc, or sohc??

 

ls is a 1834 cc dohc non-vtec motor. its actually called a b18a/b... ls is just the name of the trim level the car is most often found in.

 

1991 CRX DX - 96 B18B1 with 92 YS1 cable tranny resides under the hood I wouldn't change it for a B16A ever! I might use a B16A head for an LSVTEC setup later on, but the torque that the LS has over the B16A is very impressive. Go with a B18A1/B1 - you won't be disappointed.

 

 

yeah, i wish i had gone b18 instead, cuz now im gonna end up pulling the motor back out and putting the b18 in, with the b16 head of course

 

I have a 92 b18 in my DX HB and I love it!! Pulls ****** hard!!

 

B18A boosted coming in as soon as i can get 600 bucks.

its all about da torque !

 

 

Man, what kind of turbo set-up are you going to get with $600? Sounds like a good deal.

 

its not costing me 600 complete, but thats how much i need to order a vafc and a turbo manifold, which are the main things i need. Heres my setup coming soon:

T3- $100
Starion Intercooler- $70
Dsm Injectors- traded for parts (free)
Bov- traded for parts (free)
Radiator charge pipes- $45
Oil feed and return- $40

missing parts i need
vafc- $300
turbo manifold- $300

845 for my complete setup, (rough estimate)
all this is going on a stock b18a

 

right now i have a 97 b18b in my rex with a greddy turbo! its fun!
way better than the B16 i had before!!!! its got torque for days!!
get the LS and the parts for it are cheap......my friend has a crx stripped with LS built head, nitrous, and thats about it.....hes in the mid to high 11's!!! hella fun!!

ok guys then im gonna get one I just have one more question can I use the performance intake manifold from a gsr or b16a or do I have to get one for the ls and and do I have to get ls performance cams or can I get some for a b16a or gsr

 

I dont think the b16 parts or the GSR parts are interchangable on the LS(b18). I know for a fact the cams will not work they have extra lobes on them the LS (b18) doesnt have for VTEC..

 

ok thanks does anyone know who makes a performance intake manifold for the ls

 

skunk 2 makes em.

 

Skunk 2 and I think JG not sure about JG,Venom too makes one!

 

You might also want to look at B20s

 

are the b20s better or you mean just use the block and a ls head

 

also who makes cams for the ls

 

Crane, crower, and zex make cams for the LS. The ls is pretty much a ZC like what you have now just .2 liters and alot more torque.....IM deciding on either b18a/b or a ZC right now for this summer, How hard is the B18 swap actually?? mount wise and can I retain my stock DX tranny still Id assume so?

 

Personally I did not think my swap was hard to do at all. if you are talkin a bout a b18 and a ZC is [B]SUPER EASY SWAP [B] you can not use a DX tranny on a b18 but yes on a ZC!!
