Hi I am new to this forum, and new to sport compact cars. I recently bought a 1990 Acura Integra for $450, and dicovered alot of problems with it, so I decide to rebuild the engine in it. It has the B18A1 engine it. My brother is rebuilding the engine for me, but is having a hard time find out what he can do with this engine and still keep it smog legal in CA. I would appreicate if any of of you could tell me what cranks, rods, pitons, and whatnot will fit this engine, and post any good links. My brother is a Master with engines when it comes to chevy's and fords, and this will be his first Japanpese engine. I would appreciate any help you could give me.

Thanks Scorpion

 

Swapping in some B16A or ITR pistons would give it a little extra pep. It already has the largest crank/rod combo that will fit, and I doubt LS/VTEC hybrids are SMOG legal.

Use 92-93 B18A1 or 94+ B18B1 cams for an extra SMOG-legal kick.

 

i *think* i have a set of 92+ b18a/b cams layin around... PM me if you're interested, ill make you a deal .... assuming of course i still have 'em....

also, check g2ic.com for a lotta good 90-93 info, those guys know their cars pretty well and they can probably also help you work things out with getting yours straightened up :thumbup:

 

cool, thanks guys
