Ok I nEed Some Assistance...I have a '93 Acura Integra GS automatic 4 banger... i need to know a good engine swap to go with one that will fit perfectly without me getting a new transmission and what not, i heard thati could go with a B17 GSR Vtech but im not sure if i can do that... i'd love some help please give me your advice

How about you just keep the motor you have now? What is wrong with it?

 

it has 258,000 miles on it lol i think it's bout time to upgrade

just get another B18a or b, or rebuild the one you have. The B17 fits, but it's pointless if it's auromatic. Plus, you'd need to get an automatic VTEC ecu. It's be like putting lip stick on a pig man

 

yeah but im trying to get more power and i know that if thats the case than the vtech is the way to go.... i appreciate your opinion it will be taken into consideration

Just swap your motor for another non vtec motor.

 

if you must keep the auto tranny, getting a vtec engine is pointless cuz the auto won't let you use the rpm range where vtec matters. do you just not want to pay for a 5 speed or do you just like autos? if you have to keep the auto i'd say either rebuild what you have or swap in a b20.

 

no i don't mind a 5 speed to be honest i'd rather have it, but i just bought an auto because my gears were slipping and i already had it put in, so thats the problem.... i can drive a 5 speed just fine but i already bought the auto and it's installed

If your sticking with your stock trans don't go vtec. B16's are slow as hell on a LS trans. I suggest a B18B or a B20Z.

 

yeah but with the auto i think the b20 would be better than buying another b18 for the extra bottom end torque since he won't be seeing the higher rpms anyway
