JDM B18C into DA

[wht92teg]

ok so i have debated ls/vtec and a JDM ITR motor... power goals are real close so...

if i were to get the ITR i have a few questions:
1. Will I have to use a 92-93 Integra half shaft? and I am assuming that I need to use my 92-93 axles

2. What is the difference, if any, on a 96-97 spec'd ITR and a 98+ spec'd ITR motor?

thanks

well i figured out the differences between the 2 motors

* a 96-97 spec'd ITR has a 4-2-1 2 piece header and a 4.3? final gear
* a 98+ spec'd ITR has a 4-1 header and a 4.7? final gear

for that reasoning i guess they feel a $500 price difference

the final drive alone is reason for the price jump. a 4.7 for the lude is 750 bucks

 

[wht92teg]

damn which would you guess recommend? 4.3 or 4.7 final gear?

 

[reikoshea]

4.7 is better accel, 4.3 is better gas mileage. the choice is yours. once i get my engine out of the lude, an lsd and 4.7fd will be installed.

so if i want to have a somewhat descent daily, that i can run on the highway without going througha shit load of gas a 4.3 would be better

 

[reikoshea]

basically thats what im saying. i only drive the lude on weekends, so it doesnt bother me to put gas in it when i can run my protege for 250 miles (basically 2 weeks commute) on 20 bucks worth of gas. its really all what you plan to do. for a daily driver, id leave the 4.3. you can always upgrade later if you want to. they sell those on ebay pretty regularly.

thanks for the help man i appreciate it and good luck with ur car

 

[wht92teg]

thanks for the help guys, still curious as to which axles... i am pretty sure that i will need to use my stocks, but which intermediate shaft/halfshaft would i use??

BUMP

would you guys recommend using the stock ITR exhaust cam and a CTR intake cam or just upgrading cams to something like the buddy clubs or something??
