I'm back! Project Sleeper COMPLETE!
Well I finally completed my swap in the xb.
The xb is completely stock on the outside but it should be putting down around 170 hp.
And yes it is a engine swap from a 1998 integra gsr.
Special thanks to Jim at Electronic Performance for the specially built ecu.
Thanks also to Super Dave for the custom mounts, axels, shift linkage, and exhaust.
I will post pics as soon as I can. My digi is broke right now.
Look for me at HIN Chicago

Thanks, yeah it wasn't an easy swap that's for sure. My knowledge lies in Honda's though. It actually isn't as big as one would think it actually looks like it belongs there, that's what I like the most, other than everything else in the car still works speedo, etc. With no check engine lights.
I also installed a lsd in the tranny so this box should be out, I am also considering boosting it.
A turbo should put me way over the 200hp mark. I can't wait to get it on the streets and surprise the hell out of some unexpecting street racers HA
Oh yeah I still have A/C

Oh yeah look for a bcp xb with a plaque in front of it that says Vtec Box at HIN Chicago
Like I said it is now stock on the outside, no more 18's airride, tv's nothing
I did that for a reason, the only mods on the outside is tinted windows and cf pillars.
I can't wait until I roll into the show in a stock box.
People will be like WTF is he doing here, then I'll pop the hood and I hope to amaze alot of people.
It was about 4 months of hard ___ work, and I am proud to say I did it all in a one car garage. HA

you plan on winning a show with only a motor swap???
mad props for doing it but man do you realize how little that matters compared to everything else? thats only about 5 to 10 percent of the judging

I gotta give you props man. Sleeper are the way to go.
Just one question - did you put the Honda tranny in it? I'd just be worried about the xB tranny at those engine speeds...

Very nice man. The one and only time I saw your ride it was sick.
Sorry, I will not be at HIN.
