Do I have a B16A1 integra?

[90integrascream]

how can i tell what motor i have? its a DOHC vtec? looks to be swapped. what hp specs? what exhaust should i run?

 

[TegSox]

The engine code is stamped onto the front of the block, to the left of the exhaust manifold. There's a flat square area, that's where the engine code will be stamped.

All DOHC VTEC B series engines have this style valve cover:

^^^That's an OEM B16a valve cover.

B16a is 160HP

What exhaust you should run depends on your current and future mods, what you like the looks of and what decibel level you like/want to put up with.

Your best bet is to figure out what you have first before you start thinking about mods.

it shouldnt be too hard to identify the block, let me know what rpms you're at when you're on the freeway at certain miles per hour and i can tell you if you have a b16 or ls transmission as well

90 on a ls tranny is 4500rpms est

yup usually 80 on a ls tranny is 3.5 And 80 on a b16 transmission is 4.5

my numbers were correct right? im calculating them off of my head and i believe they are the same gearing as a 94+gsr

 

[DumaDa9]

i believe the b16 ratios are a little bit shorter, especially for the cable transmissions

B16's need the shorter gears due to their lack of torque

i know b16s have shorter gearing just didnt know the reason, i was also talking about the cable ls tranny vs hydro gsr

 

[DumaDa9]

oo the cable ls has much longer gear ratios than the hydro gsr

 

[Samurai_Blue]

you sure? my friends 5th ended up being about 500rpms higher than mine

 

[DumaDa9]

pretty sure, because usually ls at 80 is around 3.5 and gsr at 80 is around 4

damn maybe he was making his stuff up cause his speedo was broken

This sounds right to me, when I had my gsr I remember it was at 3.7 at 70mph. Thank gosh I got a LS now, better gas mileage.

Seems off to me. 70 is around 3.5 for me and 80 is just under 4.
