**Is it worth it..for me!? my '96 d16y7 for a 91' b18a + CA$H?!

Okay my friend has a Used b18a from a 91 teg w/. like 95k on it..
He wants to trade me my d16y7 from my 96 hb (77k) + he is goin to give me cash .. for tha Extra spare parts :: bl0ck, shift linkage, valve cover, AEM cam gear, Kamikazi Header
is it worth it?

i only neeed tha engine to last me till November & then it will be sent out to be fully built over tha winter... --


please get back to me asap!

FYI :: whateva engine i keep, im having tha bloCk Built By Benson in cali - prob goin to run a T61 turbo... BIG BOOST...

 

I would probably keep looking. The transmission attached to that engine will use a cable to activate the clutch, while your car is hydrolock (there are adapter kits but they aren't free). Also, that engine will have pre-OBD electronics where as your car is OBD IIa. You'll have some work finding OBD II components (like disributor, injectors, sensors and whatnot) to plug into the new engine along with probably having to convert the ECU back to OBD I (unless you swap the oil pumps for an OBD II unit with a CFK sensor).

Long story short, your better off starting with a '94+ Integra LS engine if you want a non-VTEC block, you'll have a much easier time with electronics and the tranny will fit right up (with the proper mounts). I'm not familiar with that turbo, but hopefully you can get it to spool on street, if your planning to keep the car a street car.

 

what if i swap a head from a b16a2 - cant i just run odbII then?? -then it will be a-ok right... as long as tha head is a new B series it should work.. even if i run a head from 94+ ls it should all work out... Tha tranny is being sold to some other kid... im thinkin about gettin a tranny outta a 94+ Ls too & puttin a Phatom grip LSD in it.

so if i swap tha head & tha tranny i should have to worry right?

please get back to me...

 

so wait, you want to go LS/VTEC? there is a lot more to it than just slapping the b16a head on it and calling it a day.

 

either a Ls/vtec-- or maybe ill just do tha BUILT LS... i know there is alot more into it when doing tha ls/vtec --- But just as far as if i trade engines w/ tha kid.. i can just swap tha head out for a OBDII head & then i can run tha OBDII Ecu correct?

hrmm question.. this just came to my mind... any gains from putting a NEWer b20 head on tha ol 91 ls bloCk... any performance gains or no?

 

b16a head is a b16a head is a b16a head...obd is all in the wiring and sensors majorily for emmisions

 

& u didnt really help me.. what about tha 94+ b20 head ?~?~?

either way.. im just goin to use tha Bl0Ck... & put whateva 94+ head on there & run OBD2... is it worth it.. or should i just leave my lil sohc in there & build that?

 

'97 (I think the first year they made B20's) or a '94+ B18B (LS) head may get you some extra performance, but very little (the port shape and what not may be better but I don't know specifcially).

Regardless, swapping head will not fix the OBD II problem. A majority of the sensors are located on the block and the biggest issue with an OBD II swap is the CFK (crank fluxation sensor) which is actually located on the oil pump). I know your trying to build it for cheap, but I"m telling you now, your just going to end up spending more money in the long run to either fix all the problems and headaches your going to have or to just redo it right the second time. Save up some money and just buy a '94+ LS swap.

 

thank you very very muCh Andy.

thanks for answering all of my questions to your fullest ability.

 

Sure thing? I'm telling you now you'll have a much easier time if you just wait, save up and buy a '94+ engine.
