Default B18a1

Ok, my friend just got a 91 integra with a B18A1 (I do believe its a GS). But anyways hes talking about doing an LS/vtec conversion or droping in a GSR head. I told him just to build on that motor, or even do a complete swap, but he doesnt want to listen. What do you guys think he should do? I'm pretty sure hes gonna want turbo because he's not one to believe that NA can go very far ( :slap: )

If he just got the car, he shouldn't be thinking about swaps yet. You need to get used to the car before you modify it.

If he's new to Honda engines, he should not consider an LS/VTEC until he learns every sweet detail of B-series VTEC and non-VTEC engines.

It's not an automatic, is it? Most GS's out there suffer from automatic transaxle disease.

Thats exactly what I try to explain to him. He's new to the whole Honda/Acura scean. He knows only what other people tell him, but not out of knowledge. Thats why I'm trying to nudge him in the proper direction (hes kinda hard-headed)

I say we shoot john, take his car, paint it, fix the car then sell it back to him. (for a reasonable price of course, cause he is our hommie).
