okay

soo im new to the integra family....got a 94 gsr vtec and was wondering anything i should do to it or some things to watch out for...it has about 192000 miles on it and gonna drive that til it cant go and drop a b18 into it...

so any advice/suggestions for a new comer to the family...is needed...

thanks

 

u already got a b18c1 in there, and welcom to HAN

 

even at 192k miles, you've got a long long time before that car will die... given it's been taken decent care of, and you remember to take good care of it... always change yur oil, keep it clean..

some advice/suggestions:
¤ Don't rice it out, keep it clean cut.
¤ Let your car warm up before you think about bringing it up into vtec..
¤ Drive safe/smart.
¤ Don't trust the man.
¤ You may sometime notice a "Rattle" around 3,000rpm.. normal, it's a 'defect' of a rusted stock heat shield and/or exhaust manifold.
(exhaust, not intake, right guys? I forget.) Either way, its not going to effect your car, but take away from your ride... i hate being reminded every shift, that i've gotta get that fixed.

oh yeah, and welcome to HAN. :cheers:

 

Why not just find out the condition of the current engine (compression test). Take care of it or just simply rebuild it?

Unless you mean you want to drive your b18c1 into the ground then buy a b18c5?

 

Yeah the rattling is from the exhaust. At 192000 miles though, i think the previous owner would have gotten sick of if 100000 miles ago and ripped that shit out.

Other things are..a rattling hatch from the inside, which if you search is easily fixable.

 

Make sure the timing belt and water pump were replaced recently. If not, do them both ASAP. They should have been done around 180k.

 

aight sweet thanks guys...i appriciate it...ya i didnt find out til tonight that it has the b18 in it already hah wow ima newb lol
