B-18 Block
 

Wut's up. My name is Mark and I'm new to the site. I drive an 98 CX Hatch and currently building a motor and
I have a couple of questions.

I bought a b-18 block from an 88 acura integra and was wondering if a head off an 98 gsr would fit the 88 block?
Any suggestions or comment would be appreciated.

RE: B-18 Block
 

Yes it will it is refered to as a LS/VTEC. I suggest you do not go this route unless you know what you are doing.

Wut's the problem about an LS/V-Tech swap?

RE: B-18 Block
 

Ok

1st you need aftermarket rod bolts
2nd you need to plumb the block for the oil passage to engauge vtec
3rd you need a ecu chipped to tune with or you need aem ems.
4th you need a transmission with shorter gears to take advantage of a all motor setup.

I suggest you just get a nice set of pistons, rods, rod bolts, head studs and cams then boost with a turbo kit.

88 tegs didnt come with B18s. SO either you have the wrong code or there is a diff angine in the 88 teg. DO you know exactly what engine you have or did some1 just tell you it was a B18?

RE: B-18 Block
 

Yea, i think the b18 came in like the 93-up integras.

b18a strted in 90-93 tegs, and b18b was in 94-01. before that it was a dohc version of a d16.

Indeed.
