A B16 is a waste of time to swap in, your better off picking up a gsr motor or do lsvtec on it. The little 1.6l would be not much more the ls motor your already running. The only diffenece thats noticable is vtec and it revs out a little more. But power wise, theres just nothing really there.

As for ECU’s, you could get away with running a stock D-series ecu if you wanted to. Just have the original one chipped and socketed, run it on a LS basemap for now, then tune it once you get the car to the point you want it at.

Now for the body. I always say integra body parts only belong on a Integra. The ITR front on a EG makes the front end look stupidly long and it will prob never line up right. Just stick with the stock front or get a JDM front end from a EG6 or something.

That P06 is already socketed, correct? I’ll burn you a base map for $5 as long as I still have some blank eeproms sitting around.

ok,idk if its socketed,i just put the p06 in my car and is running much better but i still have a MASSIVE power loss i can feel it,sometimes while driving it it kicks in and out and wen it kicks it pulls really hard,its almost like its not getting enough fuel?? possibility??:Idiots

You fucking Honda boys never cease to amaze me… Are you planning on running 15x9.5’s for those widebody fenders?? Or just throwing out some money because you want to say your hatch is a widebody?

and can someone please fill me in on the Honda fanboi theorum that states “If my car is not functioning properly in the first place, the obvious answer is to slap a turbo kit on my car and all my problems will be solved and I will sm0ke all you street racerzzzz.” I just dont understand the rationale behind it…
