Since i spun a bearing in my old motor (b18a1 w/ b20b head and intake manifold) i decided on buying a jap b20b. buuuut they didnt have any at their warehouse and they were $995... So i said ---- it and bought a jap b18b for $845. i Dont know if that is a decent price, i dont really give a ---- i just needed the motor asap, and if i'm gunna force air into it, it doesnt really matter anyways right... I pop'd the valve cover and the engine looks mint inside... so i didnt get a fake low miles motor... hopefully. but a comp check will clear all that up...

There she is... it came off a auto integra so i took the flex plate off and put my flywheel on... also took the injectors out and put my b18a injectors in (for short time, have 450cc injectors comin in the mail). Also put on my b18a throttlebody. Also have to take off the crank pully and timing belt covers to put my motor mount on... annnnd also have to use my b18a dist...annnnd gotta use my b18a exhaust manifold if i want it to bolt to the exhaust... i think the b18a anmd b18b exhaust is the same pattern... gotta check that out


heres the emtpy engine bay, decently clean for a 91 integra with 230k miles on the chassis...


Heres a lot of my old ----, no real use for most of it. gunna hit the scrapyard soon... unless some people need some ----... like a fucked up crankshaft, or a block with a bunch of peices of bearing in all the passages. the pistons and rods might be ok... the b20b head and intake are fine...


also one of my baseball buddies is an idiot and all of a sudden says my subs sound like ----. so he gives me his amp for 50 bones, and gives his two kenwood 10s to another guy, and that guy gives me these two subs... sounds pretty good. its def an upgrade from my 220 watt jenson amp & single 10 explode i had before...


annnndd for all those people out there who say a b20b head and intake manifold isnt an upgrade over a b18a & maybe a b18b head & intake... and that the b20b head has small ports. here is a pic of my b20b head and intake manifold. the ports look pretty big to me...


annnnnnd i also bought a rebuilt super 60 turbo & 10psi internal wastegate $420, some dsm 450cc injectors $60, a 250ft-lb clutch from 88 turbo crx $240, a aluminum core radiator $140, tranny cooler to be used as an oil cooler $40, and i also have some stuff left over from before. like my JRC 6' intercooler, and a probe bov... also goin to use TE with dave's help ohh and i believe beau is goin to make me a manifold to replace my 1st gen beau beta .1 ram head (aka block hugger) turbo manifold




Should be fun. lookin to make some decent numbers for a stock engine... remember what we aways say.... DON'T... GET.... ELIMINATED!

J-SMITH69

Thats some cool as ---- right there, Super 60 will make mad power!!!

i hate it already, all i did was look at the motor and then look at my engine bay... its a pain in the *** to have to take off the crank pully and timing covers to change to my b18a mounts.

Holy ----, your old motor is exactly what I am building right now. I wanted to build a motor for dirt cheap, so I picked up a b18a shortblock (although the junkyard left pretty much everything on there) for $150 and then I got a b20b head w/ls intake and tb for $130.

How did you like the motor? I figure it'll basically be an ls motor for under $500 with way low miles on the head.

hahaha, dejavou, i did the exact same swap in my 93 teg, it was black too, my pics look exactly like yours (i would post them but don't want to jack your thread), that's funny, i mean the same exact pics you'll notice a nice difference with the b18b, i sure did, it revs a lot quicker, i'm assuming due to the i.m. and cams, but it was nice to go to a low mileage b18b from a worn out b18a. looks good i thought i thought switching the driver side mount was easy, but i left the ribbed crank pulley on and used it with my v belt, worked fine HMT style

J-SMITH69

i havent' switched the mounts yet on that side... what chu talkin bout... the b18a mount gets in the way of something?

projekteg

look at the mounts on the driver side closer, the b18b has a different off set than the b18a (just the part that is bolted to the engine), just use the one off the b18a and swap it on to the b18b. i have pics, i'll email them to you since newbieforces is down.
