I am looking to buy an integra and I found this one on ebay its a 92 with a b16a swap only 40k on the swap AND an LSD. It also has a bunch of bolt ons (exhuast, cai, etc). Current price is $3,800. Was wondering, a) what do you think of that price and B) how fast could this thing go?

 

seems like a good price, obviously depends on MANY factors that you haven't filled us in on.. so really its hard to say if thats truly a good price or not.

which b16a is it? a 1st gen? or 2nd gen? Either way the car will be very comparable to a 92-93 gsr which had the b17a engine. Its a great car. Just like most stock hondas it won't be fast, but it'll be pretty quick. GSR's are pretty rare, and often fetch a pretty penny, so the car you're looking at may be a good way to get as good or better performance for less than a GSR.

Personally I don't like buying modded cars, I don't like knowing that someone else was tinkering with stuff before I got it. Who knows what kind of corners they cut.... And only some of this can be seen on first inspection of the car.

 

Bought the car in my sig for 4k and I dont think thats bad...its quick but not the fastest thing around.

 

I've seen modded b18a's in da's beat modded da's with b16a's many times....gotta love the DOHC NON-VTEC!

 

My friend has a 92 gsr with VERY low miles. Felt as fast as my 00 civic si. To put it another way, I think it is a 15 second car. Who knows? Take it to a track.

 

good price but slow and u loose all tourqe with a b16 unless u do loads of other mods to make up for it but the price is right

 

Here is the description he gives:

This a rare 1992 Acura Integra GS-R, the paint color in aztec green pearl, the car was painted by ELITE Custom Body and Paint, the side moldings have been shaved, the head unit is a ALPINE MP3 CD player, the speakers are Pioneer 6x9's in the back, Pioneer 5 1/2's in the front; the car also features a Koni Sport adjustable suspension with Skunk2 springs,GReddy exhaust system, AEM short ram intake, APEXi V-AFC, MSD 8.5mm plug wires, Skunk 2 short shifter, Skunk2 computer chip, polyurethane motor mount inserts, all of these mods are connected to a JDM B16 170hp motor, with the YS1 LSD tranny, the motor has a new timing belt and water pump, the motor also has a JDM Type R valve cover, the motor has about 40000 miles on it; brake pads were recently changed and discs resurfaced, exterior of vehicle is in nearly perfect condition, tires are new, the interior is also nearly flawless, air conditioning blows cold, features an alarm with keyless entry,vehicle has never been in a wreck, I am the second owner and I have totally pampered the car.

 

a gsr should have a b17. i bet thats the same bumper as the one that was on ebay for like the past month with a wicked high reserve. i guess they blew the stock b17 and dropped in a b16? i dunno im glad there are people out there that sell b17's because otherwise a stocker motor would cost like 5x what it cost me.

 

6x9's in the back? shouldnt that be 6.5s cause i dont see how u would fit them...if there is a way them lemme know..

 

any other thoughts? I had a d16 with mods and i thought it was kinda quick, wouldnt a JDM b16 be even faster?

 

d16 is slow even after a supercharger. i guess slow isnt the word but they keep up with na dohc vtec motors. ppl drop 6x9's in the panel that covers the hatch area but it looks and sounds bad.

 

my friend has a 93 and he dropped in a B16. this B16 "supposely" had CTR cams and fully rebuilt bottom end that make 190 "whp". but i think he was just bullshitting. anyhow, his car wasn't that quick at all. first thing is, he had a hard time to get his VTEC wiring working. and one he did get it up and running, he was 1 to 1 1/2 cars behind my car when we raced. but then again, he's not the best of driver.

i really don't think that a B16 should go into any integra, yes, they do have same power as the B17, but they will also have less torque than the B17. but hey, if the price is right, go for it.

 

Hmm i had my d16 running 15.5 all the time and although it isnt that fast it felt fast ont he butt dyno. This engine is already wired up for the vtec n **** its like ready to go and since i thought the d was fast id only imagine that this engine with like 60 more horses would be a great improvement. Can I stick an itr head on a b16 bottom?

 

I thought the c5 head and the b16 head were damn near identical.....minus camshafts and springs

sounds like a ok price, but you can probably find a newer integra ls for the same price or even a 94 gsr if your lucky.
