can u put a b16a1 engine in a 97 integrals and use the integra ls trans with the b16 since it is hydrualic? also would i have to have another computer other than the original b16 ecu?also anything else that may need to be done that someone knows can help me would be great.

 

dont even bother. a b16 in a dc chassis is stupid idea. a b16 with an ls tranny in a dc chassis is even worse.

btw, there is no b16a1.

 

i am only doing it to use a work car, i can't find any ls motors with good miles around here less than a 1000 and i can get a 91 b16 that one of my friends bought and will never use for 900 i just want to know if it will work so i can use it to drive not race or anything like that.

 

what is wrong with your current engine?

 

125 shot of nos broke ring landings and ruined cylinder walls and head, now i want to use the car to drive everyday for work. so figured if i cant get a vtec for same price or less i will do that even if i have to use the ls tranny. i was just wandering if it will even work?

 

The B16 is a poor match for the DC chassis. I would highly recommend against it.

Moved to Engine Swaps.

 

i dont really care if a poor match not sound rude i just want to know if my idea will work? i am a little strapped for cash and this is the only way i see me getting the car back on the road again anytime soon and i need it.

 

If you are strapped for cash, it will be a lot cheaper to pull your current engine, remove the head, replace the pistons, have the cylinders bored and honed, and the head fixed.

Also, LS motors are cheap, so you should be looking for one of those instead of an underpowered B16.

But to answer your question, it will work, but it will be a slug.

 

if your strapped for cash you can get a whole ls motor for $400 to $600 and have money left over. go to a junk yard especially if you're just using it to go back and fourth to work.

 

dont forget that putting a 91 motor in a 97 car is a no-no in most states
