Hi everyone im a new poster around here, have been reading for about a year and I really must say this site is excellent! Everyone has awesome cars!! I have an 87 hatch s thats carbed, im not sure which model it is.. im looking to start spending some money so I have been reading and researching and whatnot for the past while about swaps, suspension, and alot inbetween. Anyhow I was at this somewhat local J/Y today and was asking about a b16, and the only one hes got is a 1990, RS Integra B18a DOHC EFI 5-Speed, I wrote down the vin and then decoded it when I got home. I wasn't really able to look at the engine too much due to the front end being sweezed pretty close to it(reason for it being in the junker). He said it was running fine(of course), it has 217000km on her the oil looks pretty good, not caramel.. but a little dark. Grabs all the gears.. and for the whole swap he said it would cost 1000$ CAD, so thats engine, tranny, axels, harness, ecu and whatever else.. I was going to take pics but forgot the camera(but I will go back if it seems ok and give you guys a better look). Oh and the distributers gone, but thats all. So what do you guys think? What should I be looking for when I scan these motors? It wasn't too dirty looked like it burned a bit of oil and regular wear. Oh and im guessing this is the motor, its got a black valve cover if that will tell anything..
