B18C5 in 91 Integra.

[WDEDMON1]

Hullo, teg fans and enthusiasts! So im currently trying to figure out what is the best motor to put in my Teg. I was wondering if this one(b18c5, released in 1997 w/ 195 hp and rpm 8400) could fit in my 91 LS. What conversions need to take place. Also can it operate off my ecu now? Or do i have to convert to OBD2?
Let me know what u think

I wouldnt go with the c5 unless you have the money to spare personally. Although other than the true jdm type r motors its my favorite. It will fit you will just have to convert to ob2, which isnt bad if you know how to run a new wiring harness.

 

[WDEDMON1]

Hmmm. So what then B17? cuz im liking Vtec

 

[jdean41]

U dont have to get a b17, if you can actually find one let me know cuz those SOB's are hard as hell to find in good shape. Just get a b16 or a b18c(gsr motor). The C5 is expensive as hell.

 

[WDEDMON1]

yea and impossible to find. Nobody sells those motors....grrr. Whats the specs on the GSR?

 

[jdean41]

180hp@7600
Torque: 129 lb-ft@6200
Redline: 8200 rpm
Diplacement: 1797cc
Compression Ratio: 10.6:1

You don't have to convert to OBD2, and you don't have to run a new wiring harness. You'll need a jumper harness, you'll change a few sensors, and you'll wire in new distributor clip(unless you want to repin it). You'll also have to redo some wiring for the injectors.

Its four grand...yes. But with a turbo I think it might get the job done

better for budget? Hmmm I wonder what mods I'd have to do since these things are pretty new. Should I still go with better pistons rings, bearings etc? Or are these already set up to be the best?

your best bet is to build up a b16 but it all depends on what you want to do with it... I personally like a b20-vtec only went for a ride one time in an eg that had this set up and it was so fun but a b20 you dont ever want to boost

I'm curious as to why you think this? I hope you're not going to say the OEM sleeves.

That's a B18C-R...it's an 11.0:1 compression motor...not something I'd boost personally. The block is great for boost but you won't be able to run too much boost without building the bottom end.

 

[WDEDMON1]

Well what do I need to do to the bottom end?

 

[Rich-PMS]

If you want boost why not build an LS bottom end with a Gsr or b16 head?
