is the b18a1 a gsr engine, and what is the stock hp?

 

no

 

B17 is the original GSR engine. Maybe that's what you're thinking of?

 

i think you mean b18c1.

TY

B17A (?) was the 2nd generation Integra GS-R engine. Iirc, it was the very first VTEC engine Honda ever made.

 

then what is the b18a1?? it is in a integra 91 so what kinda hp dose it have???

 

The b18a1 is about 140 hp and 127 tq. Good engine, no VTEC, and it has a pretty big aftermarket following.

 

so should i just keep this engine and start putting money in it ,... or should i do a swap?

the nsx was the first engine w/ vtec since 90

 

Integ 1983 i also live in san diego .. do you have any extra parts/

 

It is up to you man. If your funds are limited or not would be a big factor. You need to do some research on the b18look into cams Crower or Crane make some pretty good ones. If you want to go all motor or turbo? You need to decide what you want out of the car then take the steps to get it there. If you have the money and you can buy another engine I would look into something with VTEC. With a GSR (b18c1) or a Si (b16a) engine when you modify it you will be able to get more power for your money compared to the LS (b18a). Again figure out what you want and don't just throw parts at your engine find out what works and go with that. Good Luck.

 

just turbo it

whoa whoa, lets fix this:
1990-1991 b18 = 130hp OBD0
1992-1993 b18 = 140hp OBD1 better cams and ecu programming
1992-1993 b17 = 160hp OBD1 second vtec brought to the US and only 1500 shipped

but yes definitely a good engine!

 

ok i think i am just going to go non turbo. what are a downfalls of going non turbo then going turbo???
i just want to know where should i start putting my money

 

if you're going allmotor, i would replace all the seals and replace the internals like cams, valve springs, retainers, P&P, bump up the compression
