Need help with my new DA
Ok I bought a 92 integra with 185,xxx miles and im not sure if I should rebuild it or swap it with a lower mileage b18a1 or jdm b16? I so I added headers downpipe and hi flo cat and had to add 2"inches of pipe because it didn't reach the exhaust and now its hitting the heat shield when I down shift or go over bumps?

Re: Need help with my new DA (felixjr18)
well how does the engine run? smoke? rough idle? compression?
if everything checks out there is not really a need to swap it.
it all depends on your plans for it which are??

With mileage that low, if the motor is good I wouldn't swap it at all. Boost it make.
B16 in a DA is pointless unless it's an RS model (less weight). My GS-R has a B16 and the B17 seems to be more powerful in my mind.

Re: Need help with my new DA (stocker2shocker91)
The motor runs fine still is decent and doesn't blow any smoke.. It idles right under 1g and i've never done a compression test on it.. The only this wrong is theres valve chatter but it still runzs smooth. My plans are to turbo it and keep it as a daily driver. All seals have been replaced so there are no leaks of any sort I was jus wondering with the mileage if it was safe to boost and make decent power (250-300) 
Thank for the advice

yeah if it works dont needa buy something new
my b18a1 has 222XXX miles running strong.. once it blows i think im gonna get a nice gsr motor in there=]] or maybe an ITR when time comes=]]
id say just keep it until it blows and save your money and buy a b18c 1 or 5 depends on how much ya got saved=]]

why is it pointless?
i got a low mileage b16 to replace my old LS and i got 30+ MPG and i had more HP. seems fine to me.
Hell DA with b16 > Civic SI with b16
