I have a opportunity to sell my LS longblock for $700.00 I was thinking of getting a B16 how will that perform in my DC??? Anyone ever put this motor into there DC?

 

Why not use a B18c1 or c5?

 

boost your b18b

 

cause thats an extra $1500-$3000

 

Yeah, but you taking an engine that is rated for a civic and putting it into a heavier vehicle which is going to cause you lag in performance where you need it for the power to weight ratio. It is menial, and could be made up w/power adders, but kind of pointless when you'll end up spending the same amount of money on a b18c1.

 

Well put, i know i sure in hell would NEVER put a underpowered B16 engine in and Integra. Please don't do it, unless you want to be known as the Civic Integera.

 

B16 in a DC = :hay:

honestly why would you even consider such a thing, like snoop said before just boost your B18B or save up for an B18C1. there is a guy here in st.louis with a B16 swap in his GSR, everyone makes fun of him cause even civic ex's smoke him somehow, so please say no to B16.

 

The B16 is the most overhyped, torque-deficient motor in the history of motoring. In a 2600lb Integra, you'll still be running high 15s.

Turbocharge your B18B1.
Since you live outside the CARB dictatorship, your FI options are plentiful.

/discussion.

 

ok i guess the B16 is out of the question i'll start looking for a GSR longblock or maybe just keep the LS

 

Outstanding decision.
