I everyone im a noob but im tyring to learn fast....im looking to buy an 1992 si eg with a B18 Ls motor/transmission. the swap was from a 96 integra. i just want to know everyone opions on it good and bad

o yea and what does everyone think of the eg halo lights....

 

Well you should do a compression test/leakdown test to see if the motor is good.

EG halo lights = ricer.

 

ok thank and lets say i go check the car out and everything is fine what kind of hp would i be pushing to the wheels.

haha true but they look cool

 

<100whp/>120whp i'd say, you're going to get different results from dyno to dyno and depending on altitude and temperature, things of that nature. so assuming it would be a strong motor accounting for a 15% drivetrain loss you would be floating somewhere between 100-120whp. Just remember with hondas it isn't about how much power in numbers.

 

o ic so is it worth it? and can a compression test and leak down test be performed at any auto shop like a pep boy or what ever? and if it isnt good can it be fixed easliy?

 

leakdown tests are pretty easy but, dont buy it if the numbers are low.

 

What most people who don't run these motors think(or dont know honda motors in general...) is that they are all the same...HAH!!
I'm putting down 192whp on my Ls/vtec. I'm also running ITR pistons bigger injectors,TB,Cams,Intake,etc,etc,etc.... It all depends on what your running inside the motor. LS/vtec just means b18A or b18b with a vtec head. what head is it? What pistons/rods/cams/etc. Better question is what is the Compression ratio?
Its not like a GSR or std B16 swap... nobody can ever tell you how much power a "stock" ls/vtec is making without knowing exactly what its made of....
Personally though... I would never buy a used ls/vtec.

 

true and true
