I was wondering if a lot of people swap engines into 90-93 tegs. If so, what is a good motor to drop in there? A guy is willing to sell me a driveable teg for $1000 and I was thinking hmm...maybe it would be good for a project car. Anyone know the approximate weight of this chassis?
Thanks

 

what do you want to swap in it?

If the body is in good condition.. i say go for it. Put any b-series engine in there you want. Depending on what model you have, your talking anywhere from 2549+

My 1990 RS weights 2549, but its fully gutted. I'm thinking about putting another b18a.

I have alot of options im looking at at this time. All are gonna take a while.

-full b16 swap w/ lsd ( no torque though)- 8200 redline/ VTEC
-newer b18a(b) long block - homemade turbo kit, pricy in the long run.
-b20- torque!
-save and get a type R long block, and be reliable and quick.

 

sounds great!
yeah...i'm thinking about looking for an LS block since i've been hearing good things about the torque, etc.
however, i'm having a hard time finding mount kits for this chassis for some reason.
i don't see it listed for hasport or place racing.

 

thats cause b-series engines drop right in , you can use your original engine mounts or get some inserts or something.

just use your obd0 stuff on your new engine or obd1 depending on if its a 90-91 or 92-93 integra.

 

My 92 GSR weighs 2560 with a full interior. Too heavy for my taste, but I love the car

 

i have a b16 in my 91 teg and i love it
no torque but high end is ok much better than an ls
b16 integras are still faster than ls integras

 

there are many clean G2's with swaps on here. very sleeper

 

thanks for all the helpful replies. i think i'll consider a jdm b16 swap if i end up buying the car. the DA can look clean as hell and ride really nice if done right.

let me get this straight.. you are running a stock b16 (1st gen i assume) with an LS tranny and you are faster than an LS? Not to be a dick, but i SERIOUSLY doubt you are faster than a stock LS.

LS trannies are horrible and that would be even more true with a b16.

b18a/b turbo!

 

I've thought about this too. CRVTEC would be perfect in this car!

Not to mention the fact that I've seen 92 Integras sell for less than 92 Civic hatchbacks!

 

i kinda want to do a CRVTEC in my car, but money.. is just an issue.

 

I run a JDM B16 with an S1 tranny and I know Im fsater then LS tegs beat them all the time.. With an LS tranny you would be slower off the line but have a hell of a top speed when you get going. But the LS gearing is way to long for a b16

 

Yea, if your gonna get a b16a just get the complete swap, they're pretty cheap and drop right in 90-93 integras. obd0 goes in easy on 90-91 integras.
