#73 of 98 reefer007 timing belt by brettl Oct 18, 2008 (11:35 am)
Do you know which engine you have in your 91? I recently did my nephew's 90 hatchback with a B18A1 engine, and turned out when the belt snapped, he had bent a few valves but no damage to the pistons. As I'm not familiar with the 91 & which engines it might have, IF yours has the B18A1 engine, I can help you thru the process. As near as I can tell from the Haynes manual I've used (covers 90 thru 93 Integra and 91 thru 95 Legend), there were only two used in those model years, the B18A1 which is a 1.8L DOHC and the B17A1 VTEC, which is a 1.7L DOHC with variable valve timing & electronic control, which will have "VTEC" 'bossed'(raised lettering) right on the cam cover.   Brett.

#75 of 98 what models/years had the B18A1 by brettl Oct 18, 2008 (12:01 pm)
My nephews got a 90 hatchback with the B18A1 in it, which I'm afraid is toast, at least for the moment, so I've been searching for a decent replacement used one, with little luck (I'm told that some of these wreckers' books indicate that only the 90 or 91 will work in this particular application), but I'm thinking that being as this IS a HONDA engine after all, they've probably used this very same engine in other models of their own - ie: maybe Civic. Does anyone know for certain what other models/model years used this same engine? It would be of immeasurable help to me in finding one, by expanding my search parameters.   Brett Replies to this message: bigal92 (Feb 06, 2009 8:30 pm)

Replying to: garydohcvtec (Jun 16, 2008 12:49 pm) This is probably way way too late to help Gary, but just new to this site. Am only familiar with a 90 hatchback, but engine ID position probably the same? About halfway down the block (from top deck to bottom, vertically), on the right side of the block (the side toward the front of the car, or the right side of the engine when viewed from the right side of the car towards the driver's side or from transaxle toward belts), only a few inches to the left of the exhaust manifold/heat shield, you should find a raised 'boss' facing slightly upward to make viewing from above easy. That boss measures about an inch and a half accross, left to right, and about a half an inch in height - clean it off and the engine code should be stamped right into the flat surface of the boss.   Brett
#77 of 98 Re: Question about heating problem [addtothehustle] by brettl Oct 18, 2008 (1:11 pm)
Replying to: addtothehustle (Jul 21, 2008 4:38 pm) Re kxiong87's post of July 21st, again, this is probably way, way too late to help, but I'd suggest your heater core's got a leak. If you can detect coolant on the front floor on psgr side, OR smell it in the air inside with the heater running and the engine warmed up, OR on a very cool day, the windshield fogs over inside when you put the heating system into 'defrost' mode or any combination of the above, your heater core has definitely got a leak.   I don't know how fine the tubes are in that particular core, and I wouldn't normally recommend this to a Chryler owner, but try putting in about half the amount instructed on the bottle, of 'radiator stop leak'-type product, and see what happens after the engine has come up to operating temp a few times with the heater running. That is a hell of a lot easier than changing out that heater core, believe me! Also, if your temp guage is registering a little higher than was usual beofre this problem developed, its probably due to your coolant level being too low, which you can top up when you put in the stop-leak.   Brett
#78 of 98 Re: to buy or not to buy [jimbob1975] by whobodym Dec 01, 2008 (6:32 am)
Replying to: jimbob1975 (Dec 24, 2007 5:55 pm) one data point -- I am original owner of a 1997 GS-R B18C1, now at 160,000 miles. I have changed oil + filter regularly every 3750 miles (twice as often as scheduled), but used only ordinary name brand 5w30 oil. Still have virtually zero oil consumption. I tried one change with Mobil 1 0w-20 as a fuel economy experiment at 150,000 miles and then took it on a 7300 mile cross-country trip (WA to ME to SC and back to WA). Even with this watery oil, consumption was still barely noticeable (say, 1/3 qt on the the whole trip). I am expecting my engine to be pretty healthy still at 200,000 miles, although the rest of the car, especially electrical, is beginning to raise doubts.
#79 of 98 94 intrega don't turn over, by vore1er Jan 03, 2009 (12:06 pm)
My car won't turn over, it seems to me that it's not getting gas and that would be the fuel pump. it doesn't start no matter what temp. i just replaced the fuel filter 1,000 or so miles ago. Replies to this message: integer91 (Mar 03, 2009 4:30 pm)
#80 of 98 Won't start by vore1er Jan 03, 2009 (2:59 pm)
Ok i'm not sure if i posted this earlier my computer sucks. My 94 integra won't turn over it seems like it's not getting gas. the starter works and i have half a tank. i think it might the fuel pump not sure. it doesn't start at no matter the temp out or inside. won't bump start. thanks
#81 of 98 it's wierd by vore1er Jan 04, 2009 (12:44 pm)
sorry i just went out to my 94 integra and it started. The only difference is that the outside temp drop about 30 degrees from yesterday . so i don't know. i never heard of a car starting better when it's cold outside.the temp today is 47 .
#82 of 98 Re: what models/years had the B18A1 [brettl] by bigal92 Feb 06, 2009 (8:30 pm)
Replying to: brettl (Oct 18, 2008 12:01 pm) ok the B18A1 was only used in the 90-95 integra non VTEC models but it dosn't end there from 90-91 the computer system that was used was OBD-0 from 92-95 the computer system was OBD-1 wich means that you would have to convert the wiring harnes to OBD-1 and get an OBD-1 computer or you can us all of the components from the engine you already have on the new engine.   or if you want to go with VTEC you can get a JDM B16A that came in the JDM intega for like $1100-$1600 plus S&H and it will come with the engine, tranny, ECU (computer) wiring harnes, and all of the components plus you can get them in OBD-0   B18A1 1.8L 130HP 6000RPM & 126 ft-lb 5000RPM redline 6500RPM B16A 1.6L 160HP 7600RPM & 111 ft-lb 7000RPM redline 8200RPM
