well guys i just picked up a 1992 ls integra for $500 it has a blown head gasket other then that interior is perfect exterior has some imperfections not much but some. the car has 107xxx miles i am wondering wat should i do about the gasket fix it or try and get a new motor
 
The cheapest thing to do in my opinion would be redo the head gasket, timing belt, tensioner, seals...etc. etc. and boost it.
 
fix the motor you got and while your at it throw a b16 head on it just in case that old suck ass ls head is warped:D:D:D:D:cool:
 
I love how this car has less mileage than my Integra. I think I need to find a car like this and just cut my losses on the slush.
 
It's an epa thing.

They don't want them old pollutey motors being used in new cars? =p lol not sure i just know obd backwards = not good
 
Its illegal? Is that a state to state thing?

it's not legal to put an obd0 motor in there
it depends on the state. i would suggest finding out. i searched for nevada and couldn't find anything. i don't want to spend too much time on it though. i know each state has different swap and emmissions laws.
 
Ya im not sure about here in the CA, but ive never heard about any problems putting an older engine in as long as it passes emissions.

Technically I don't think it's legal in any state to put in an engine that's older then the chassis. For the majority of states though, you can get away with it because no one is going to take the time to check. Some place like California though? Yeah, you'd probably get busted for it there...
 
You already have a b18 I would agree with the b16 head though. Why would he wanna even go obd-0? I thought obd-1 was easily tuned as is? Either way don't replace the motor. If you are on a budget just have the head resurfaced and replace the head gasket.

I think he just meant to use an OBD0 B16 because they're cheap...not switch the wiring to OBD0...
