Default 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.

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.

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?
