Little Help

Ok I drive a 1995 Acura Integra 4 door Automatic. It has the 1.8 nonVtec Ls Motor in it. The 4 cylinder has no Compression. I need help with selecting a Motor. I need everyones suggestions. I will be converting the car to Manual with the Swap.

may as well go LS/VTEC since you already have most of the parts... do you know why you don't have compression?

The Shop never told me why I dont have compression. But they said I need a New Motor. by the way the car has 165000 miles. I checked the oil and its fine.

If you want a quick & relatively easy swap, just buy a GSR motor (b18C1).

If you want to spend lots of time & money and learn a whole bunch, look into LS/VTEC.

I got 2400 to spend. I already bought a b16a head and B20 block and a gsr tranny. But I was told that a hybrid like that would last longer then 20000 miles.

Depends on how the bottom end is built. You will need AT LEAST ARP rod bolts to rev that bottom end to around 8k. If you wanna go higher, you'll need forged rods and a balanced crank.
