**The B18B1 Series Engine: A Reliable and Distributor-Based Powerplant**

The B18B1 series engine is a 1.8-liter engine that has been used in various models of cars over the years. It's a distributor-based engine, meaning it doesn't have individual coils for each spark plug like some modern engines do. This design allows for a more straightforward and cost-effective manufacturing process.

One of the key characteristics of the B18B1 series engine is its simplicity. The intake manifold brings in air from the air filter, which is then directed to the engine through a series of ducts and tubes. The exhaust system is also relatively straightforward, with the exhaust gases being routed out of the back of the car and down into the transmission.

The transmission that accompanies the B18B1 series engine is typically an automatic or manual unit, depending on the specific model. In this case, we're discussing a distributor-based engine, which doesn't have individual coils for each spark plug. This means that there's no need for a sophisticated ignition system to manage the firing of the spark plugs.

In addition to the engine and transmission, many modern cars also feature a range of other components that are essential to the overall operation of the vehicle. In this case, we see the radiator and coolant reservoir, which help to regulate the temperature of the engine. The power steering pump is also present, which provides the necessary hydraulic pressure to assist with steering.

The brake booster is another important component, as it helps to amplify the force of the driver's pedal in order to provide adequate braking power. Finally, there's the battery and fuse box, both of which are critical for starting the engine and preventing electrical faults.

**Oil Consumption: A Potential Issue**

One potential issue with the B18B1 series engine is its tendency to burn a significant amount of oil. According to our engineer, this can be as much as two quarts every 3,000 miles, making regular checks and maintenance necessary to prevent damage to the engine.

It's worth noting that the cause of this oil consumption is believed to be related to worn piston rings in the engine. These rings are prone to wear and tear over time, which can lead to leaks and decreased performance.

**Accidents: A Pattern of Misfortune**

Despite its reliability, our car has been involved in six separate accidents over the years. In each case, the vehicle was stationary or moving at a slow speed when the incident occurred.

The first accident happened when someone parked their car next to ours and didn't check their rearview mirror before reversing into us. The second incident occurred just one week later, when another driver slammed into our rear bumper as they were backing out of a parking space. A month after that, we were hit again by the same person who had damaged our car in the previous incident.

The fourth accident was caused by a friend's dad, who backed his truck up into us while trying to park it. The final two incidents were also with the same driver, although they occurred several months apart. In one case, we were not even aware of the collision, and the damage was limited to some chipped paint.

**Repair and Maintenance**

Despite the numerous accidents, our car has been well-maintained over the years. The front bumper, quarter panel, left door, rear bumper, right door, and right corner panel have all been repainted at various times to repair damage caused by these incidents.

In addition to the repairs, regular maintenance checks are also necessary to ensure that the engine is running smoothly. This includes checking oil levels, which can be as much as two quarts every 3,000 miles, depending on the model and usage of the vehicle.

**A Connection to the Road**

One of the things that our engineer loves about this car is its connection to the road. The steering is very precise, and the driver feels a sense of feedback and control that's hard to find in modern cars with electronic power steering systems.

This connection to the road is something that our engineer values highly, as it allows them to feel more engaged and involved while driving. It's not just about getting from point A to point B – it's also about enjoying the journey and appreciating the performance of the vehicle.

Overall, our car has proven to be a reliable and rewarding companion on the road. With its precise steering and straightforward engine design, it's an enjoyable ride that's hard to find in modern cars.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello and welcome in this video I'm going to be just talking about my car I'm just going to give a basic overview of it uh it's been requested quite a few times uh for a video on my car so I'm just going to go over pretty much everything about it so this is a 1999 Acura Integra GS as a 1.8 L engine it does not unfortunately have VTEC as many people like to ask me I have recently lowered my car so this isn't actually the stock height um it's a little bit lower maybe about an inch and a half 2 Ines lower you may notice uh 50 Shades of Gray or so and that comes from my accident history which I'll get into later talking about this car I get asked quite a bit you know how is your car so fast um and my response is pretty simple I just uh stuck that right on there on the back and it did wonders is for my 0 to 60 so this is a 2door hatch there is a four-door version uh that has a trunk rather than a hatch um I love the hatchback I can fit all kinds of stuff in the back I can stick a bike in there uh without taking the wheel off I put a 7ot Christmas tree in there once and managed to close the trunk so it is pretty incredible how much you can fit in such a small vehicle 15in Wheels all around uh 195 or 55 and it is an independent suspension on all four corners as well on top of the independent suspension at all four corners it also does have disc brakes um at all four corners so let's take a peek on the inside uh manual 5-speed transmission there's our three pedals here's our wonderful display 100 24,000 mil on it so if you've watched my video on steering uh you know how fond I am of this steering wheel probably my favorite steering wheel ever um I love the leather it it gives a real snug feel and the fact that you can put your hand at the bottom rather than those tea steering wheels that seems to be the common thing nowadays I don't know maybe that's for accidents but uh I'm not a fan of it I like having being able to put my arm on that bottom handle right there I have replaced the uh stock stereo um and I put in this Pioneer one I also stuck in some pulk 6.5 in speakers all around and that was basically because the ones that were in here previously were cardboard let's see what else do we have here in the center console uh pretty sophisticated air conditioning system actually the original AC still works uh never had anything done to it and still blown cold so that's pretty incredible um heat still works great uh let's see we've got this cigarette lighter which is obviously been used all the time don't smoke um here's where I keep all my money I make from YouTube and the world's worst cup holder it's really cheap and it doesn't hold many things at all except like a soda can so it sucks and then when you do have something kind of tall sticks up in front of the stereo and you can't adjust the volume power moon roof this is a luxury vehicle after all passenger airbag uh nobody cares glove compartment full of all the essentials um what else do we got power locks pretty impressive power windows all of which still work original Motors um the automatic function of the driver's side window does not work anymore but it still does raise and lower so uh I'm fine with it tweeters up on the top so let's take a peek at the back um pretty cramped as you can see that seat is kind of coming up it's not in the greatest shape um which brings me to these front seats you'll notice they have covers on them um why would I put such hideous covers well my seat's kind of disintegrating so I put that cover on there so I don't get eaten by it the rear seats do fold down which gives you an incredible amount of space in the back as I was saying earlier and you can actually take that piece off and then it's just a big open space in the back which is great if you need to bring stuff or for when you're moving across the country like I did there's my pulk speakers I absolutely love them uh they sound fantastic I went into Circuit City when that place still existed and said what are your most expensive speakers this is what they said so I got them because I was in high school and had tons of money to blow you may notice my antenna is completely gone that got ripped off in a cart wash so I don't use the radio too much so I just stuck some duct tape on it cuz I was getting water in my trunk so there we have the hatch up still in great condition those air shocks still working fantastically um and here's the trunk pretty good space there's a light in case you need that um and like I said can fold down those chairs and it it's quite a big area put things this is what it looks like to ride in the back seat of a race car pretty cool oh one thing I forgot to mention about my Dash I've got this fruit roll up here I don't know everyone's got something that sits in their car forever this is this is what sat in my car forever so this is from high school um probably 2007 which means it's about 6 years old or so see if there's a date on here 2007 General Mills yeah so it's probably still good just says peel from celophane backing before eating okay so let me talk about the condition of the car being that it's 15 years old um pretty much everything uh still works uh there's a few things that are broken you can see here like this uh AC vent but the AC still works um and the seats aren't in the greatest shape as you can see this one here is kind of lifted up but um pretty much everything does work uh oh the thing that does not work my uh wiper fluid pump I can't clean my windshield I got to do that at the gas station but I've never had that luxury so I don't know what it's like anyways so let's take a look look under the hood and there we are there's that big V8 I was telling you guys about so uh Honda inline 4 it's a 1.8 L um it's the B18 B1 series engine let's see it is a distributor engine it doesn't have individual coils for each spark there's our air air filter go to the intake manifold um brings the exhaust out the front and then it goes down under and and back so there's our transmission um here we got the radiator and the coolant reservoir our power steering pump uh what else do we got there's our brake booster and our brake fluid there's the battery and a fuse box so it's a pretty good engine um runs great the transmission is fantastic uh my only caveat about the en engine is that um it does burn a decent amount of oil uh maybe two quarts uh every 3,000 miles maybe two to three quarts every 3,000 mil so I do have to check that regularly and make sure that it's got the right amount of oil in it um other than that it has leaked oil at some points but I've got most of those taken care of really it's just those worn piston rings since the engine is so old I believe which is causing it to burn a decent amount of oil but it runs great and it's still got a little pep in it so for now I'm fine with it okay so let's talk about those accidents so the first time my car was hit I wasn't even in it and someone parked and just came and slammed into the side of it so that was a good experience uh they claimed they hit a tree even though they had silver paint all over their car but they ended up paying for it so it's all good the second time I was hit which was exactly one week later I had someone slam into this rear part right here um I was sitting in line waiting to go to lunch and they got in their car didn't even look behind them when they got in their car didn't look in their mirror when they got in their car didn't look behind them when they were backing up and then they just went you know at a pretty good speed and just backed right up into my car so that was pretty great I got their phone number and then went to lunch so the next time I was hit uh was about a month later than those other two accidents and it was the same person who crashed into me the first time uh parking next to me and they once again hit the sight of my car uh that was it my high school parking it was a nightmare okay so the fourth time I was hit a friend's dad backed their truck up into my car and they had a trailer hitch on it so it just punched a hole clean out of the front here just nice little hole there so that was a pain to deal with cuz it was my friend's dad and we had a work work that out so the fifth time I got hit I got a nice uh smack right there in the back bumper and that was in college and it's a long story but point is I never really got around to getting anything from it um ended up being able to wipe off most of the white paint that the car left so it wasn't too big a deal and the final time I got hit which was right here um never saw it never knew when it happened so it remains as is but it's not that terrible it's not like it really damaged the bumper that much just chipped off a good amount of paint which is kind of a eyesore but that's all that happened so that's that so in total I know of six times that my car has been hit um which sounds terrible but I don't know I've kind of dealt with all of them um pretty bad luck I guess on my part I was only in the car for two of those six and all six of those my car was not moving so I guess that is pretty bad luck I have had the front bumper repainted the front quarter panel repainted uh the left door repainted the rear bumper repainted uh the right door repainted and the right corner panel repainted so I'm really looking for someone to hit the hood of my car because the paint's not in that great of shape and also someone to hit the top of my my car because as you can see the paint's kind of a disaster so if someone were to hit it that'd be kind of nice and I could just get that painted so there you have it engineering explains extravagant ride um I love this car feels great to drive it's very precise the steering is very precise and it's one of the things I like about it um you just feel connected to the road really well versus some of the modern cars where you have electronic steering and things like that where you just don't get that feel anymore um I really do like it so thanks for watching if you have any questions or comments feel
