Well, I am doign a B16a swap into a 94 integra. It is an OBD0 B16a. of course the car is OBD1. What will I have to do to make the car run OBD1 and work with the B16a? Iwill probably get the VTEC harness from RyWire, adn put that in the car. I know I will need a OBD1 ECU, Distributer, injectors. But is that all, then jsut hook up the VTEC Wires, and I am ready to rumble?

you wont need anything. just drop it in.

the problem i forsee is that the car is going to be slow as all hell, there isnt enough torque coming out of the b16 to merrit putting it in a heafty car like a 3rd gen.

hell they had to create the b17a out of necessity for the 92-93 gsr, and then eventually were able to boost it to 1.8 b18c.

the car will most likely be just as fast going with a b20 swap with the right tranny.

your car is going to be a dog with a b16 swap.

x2. why would you put a b16 in there? yes it has 160 hp, but not until 7800 rpm. you're better off with the stock LS motor and a b16 tranny. the car will be faster that way.

First of all, it isn't my car, it is a friend of mines. He said he wants to put a B16 in it, Proly cause he wants VTEC.

teg92

tell him to get a GSR then

the extra displacement will do him more good than vtec. we're not trying to be superior assholes, here, we're just trying to educate and help out. that's why you posted in the first place right?

Ya, tell him not to go with the b16. If he is that hard up for vtec, just swap heads and do the necessary things to the ls block(oil squirters) to make it work.

VPUPPY, not to squash an OG, but no.


he'll need an LS head gasket, B16 head, B18C headbolts, B18C timing belt, b18C waterpump and about 2-3 ft' of braided steel hose to fee the VTEC head.

oil squirters are part of the b18c blocks and are (as far as i know) non-transferable. even if they were the closest thing i've ever seen is them taking the ls crank and putting it in a vtec bottom end, at which point the crank hits the squirters and you need to bend them to make clearance (or so i have read on this board)



now that will pretty much take care of the headswap, but the major problem you will see is the fact that the LS rodbolts werent made to see 8000rpm. you will need to upgrade the rodbolts, and if you are doing that you might as well upgrade the pistons to high compression pistons such as stock b18c type-r pistons (hmotors has them for cheaper than you'd expect new)

for all that trouble, wouldn't you rather just buy a b18c1 in the first place?
