lol EX And integra knuckles are the same... well idk how simular.. but the EX rotors are the same ones as the integra rotors..


if wiring isnt an issue for you then why dont you come wire my gsr for me ------?

Some people say the ex ones are a little better; I have ran both and have not notice anything different. Get which ever one is cheaper. To the Op take this from someone that his been in your shoes a ton of times. Make up your mind from the start, the more you change things around the more it will cost you and the longer it will take.

i made up my mind. its a b swap or nothing. so im swapping to a b series, and ill probably just use the teg knuckles since the car already has them on it and all i have to do is unbolt them and toss them in the wheel barrel with the axles attached.

Heads up I part out atleast 1 integra a month. These cars are 15-19 years in age the motors in them are tired. Very raraely do I see a block that will even making the ls swap worth your time unless you bore over the block then the cost becomes a major issue with machine work etc


I sell complete b20b shortblocks for this reason. Heads are little more forgiving in the mileage department. Alot of the time a good degreasing and new valve seals is all that is needed



Compression is your friend and a low compression 200k b18a1 block you will be lucky to put down 100 whp to the ground.


b20b is the future of cheap swaps the ls motor is old/tired. Ls is great if you plan on spending 500 to rebuild the block by why bother when you can get a b20b shortblock for that cost and its a low mileage unit and only 7-8 years old. Oh and the 84mm bore is nice too

78NOVA

but the price factor right now at this give time is what will kill me. i planned to bore the block to a 82mm anyways and run a mid/hi compression. i dont want anything fancy or to pay shipping on ----. locally i can get the motor bored and hottanked for 120 right in front of me. old and tired, then rebuild is what its all about. thats why i love chevy motors that are old like that. renewed power leaves after rebuild.

but out of curiousity chris, what do you charge for a b20. and an estimate on shipping.

Guy-Fast

500 shipped for complete b20b blocks no head/manifolds just use ls head/manifolds


by the time you bore over
new pistons/rings
bearings
line hone etc



your lucky if your at 500 in total price and now have a smaller motor than the b20b. Just doesnt seem worth it to build a b18a1 to stock specs

I have a few ls heads I have laying around, I would sell to you for 80 shipped. Might need to be put together.

Guy-Fast

I think I have like 10 ls heads at the shop


I sell complete shortblocks since no one wants that head on a b20b block and people end up junking the ls heads. Also all my b20b's I get come with p8r heads so I sell them seperate since most importers dont get that motor

78NOVA

is there something wrong with a complete longblock? isnt that good enough for a swap? how much are you asking for that shipped? or are this p8r heads junk?

Guy-Fast

p8r heads=rare non vtec heads that flow the same rate has b16a heads


84mm chamber head/big valves I sell the heads alone for 400 since they only came in one car for one year ever


I dont sell complete longblocks has I source b20b's with p8r so i can sell the b20b bottom end for the vtec corwd and the p8r head for the non vtec corwd

I have 6 b20b's at the shop
