B18a1?

[OniFactor]

there's a shitload of DAs in the local yard, and i can get an engine for ~100 bucks.. but is the B18A1 worth it?

[Mikey]

in NY? Where at? I might have to check that out.

[OniFactor]

binghamton.. way out here.. just south of syracuse on 81 and 17.. if you wanna check out the places site it's www.garysupullit.com

depends on how many miles and stuff...usually get an automatic cuz the 5 speeds are driven to death. plus the trannys no use since its cable n e ways. i got a b18a1 sitting around but i dont think its worth puttin in the car...

for $100 it's more than worth it. Depending on the condition of the engine but still, that's really cheap. B18A1's are good engines, they're very responsive and have great low-end. I have a DA and it was great:TU:.

i'm throwing a B18B1 with cable tranny into my coupe this winter. if you can get it for $100 that's a steal. but remember that there will be more than just that $100 to get the motor into your car.... ;)

B18B FTW!

the motor i'm picking up has PR3 (B16) slugs inside which bump compression up to 10.8:1 :rockon:

[JdmRevelations]

too bad your LS tranny sucks with them eheheh... now invest in a GSR or B16 trans and you will love your LS

[OniFactor]

okay.. i'm really looking for a way to get a new engine in my car.. what would be the quickest, easiest B swap, for a 92-95 coupe?

[JdmRevelations]

any of them really... LS, B16, GSR...

[OniFactor]

no mount kits needed?

[buklae620]

u may need some aftermarket mounts unless u can find some stock integra mounts that would help drop in the b series motor in a lot easier but for 100 bucks for a b18a, not a bad deal, maybe build it up for a ls-v

[JdmRevelations]

when going into a "92-95" civic you can use stock integra everything...i would recomment to get a new driver side mount because those tend to break and leak out a nasty fluid.... stock axels, shiftlinkage and even wiring harness will work... INTEGRA STUFF THAT IS..not your civic stuff... you can go with aftermarket mounts to have a stiffer motor but its not needed....

[G-rat]

depends on how u have to spend

b16a full swap goes for around 2200.....all u would need to buy after that to drop it in is a gsr axles....gsr radiator hoses...and that should be it....not much money to spend after u get the motor and tranny and everything

but a b18a1 for $100 is'nt bad at all

[OniFactor]

what can i do about the tranny? the a1 comes with a cable tranny.. should i just figure out a way to swap to cable?

c if u can pick up or find a hydro tranny. the 92-95 civics have hydro trannies. there are lines that run from the clutch master cylinder, along the firewwall and then onto the clutch slave cylinder on the tranny. i personally wouldnt change all that to a cable. id just go find me a b series hydro tranny and mate it to the a1 head and block

[OniFactor]

ugh, i'm trying to find the cheapest way to get my EJ up and running, again... i have a guy who'll bring a low mileage D15B, swap it in, wire it up, and everything, for under a grand... i don't know what to do... sigh.

[buklae620]

a z6 or y8 willl be cheap if thats what u want.

few hundred bucks for a decent runnign z6 or y8

[toyaros]

a 100 for a b18a motor thats cheap here I could sell one for an easy 600. B18a is good all you need is exhaust, intake, and 4-1 headers and you could take out gsrs and b16s. For the cable wise either find a hydro trans or if i not mistaken hasport sells the kit to switch to cable.
