Mikelly Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Yesterday morning my Wife and I jumped in my GMC and headed North to the Big Apple and Long Island to pick up an Acura Integra motor and a brand new folding cherry picker... For $650 for everything. This particular motor is supposedly THE motor for doing Hybrid swaps in civic and turboing them, so we'll see.. I couldn't resist the cherry picker... thing was new and I only paid $170 for it! Trip was long and uneventfull... Wife had a good time hanging out with me for the day, which is something that she doesn't get to do often! Now the Honda experience begins... YUCK!

Mikelly Posted January 13, 2003 Author Share Posted January 13, 2003 Yea, I'll be the cranky Hip dad on the Ninja trying to educate the youth of the world on the values of racing OFF the street in head to head competition... 'Er, yea that's it... Brad Pit will play me, and Jennifer Anestin will play my saucy wife! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted January 13, 2003 Author Share Posted January 13, 2003 It is just a standard B18B1. It only makes 142HP out of the box, which is 40More than his current motor, and it makes 29 FT# more torque... For $450 what do ya expect??

Guest JAMIE T Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Mike, you still need to come down and drive my buddies CRX with the B18(whatever-non V-TEC). It makes almost 140 at the wheels, and is a riot to drive. Besides, you still need to come down and get your heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 my buddy got a typeRb18c5 in his egg hatchback civic, thing has 200hp dang near at the front wheels, that thing ran a high 13 without the fart pipe or the big air filter!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Mike, is that engine a B18C1 from an Integra GSR or a B18C5 from a Type R? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
