umm well... yes... but that's not the point. The point is, the Accord engine was never made to fit into an Integra. I probably CAN be done, but it would require a lot of custom work. Depending on the year/model of Accord, it probably has comparable hp and much more torque, but it's just not worth it at all. Why, is your engine falling to peices at the moment? It's not like the LS engine is THAT inferior to the GS-R in stock form. We're only talking 30-40hphp up top and 1-7lb/ft depending on year. The LS motor really isn't that bad at all...

I can get one at www.hondaacurasalvage.com for only $500 do you guys think thats a deal or a complete rip off they said that they intenally inspect the engines

$500 isnt a bad price. I think you could do better, but $500 isnt bad. Make sure you get some leak down numbers.

Snoopy · 08-11-2006, 02:34 PM

which engine for $500? for that cheap, it's probably just a longblock.

Im assuming B18B. Longblock is all he needs if he hydrolocked his current one.

The engines on that salvage site look like hell. Stay away. There is no way they could have internally inspected them because that would require removing the head and replacing the head gasket. For all you know, those engines could be hydrolocked as well. You are MUCH better off getting a low mileage JDM longblock. This LS is only $750.
