welcome

[riruiz_88]

no i mean as if, its not an EK9 anymore with an Aus spec engine in it. but yeh welcome too man

[mocchi]

its the ek9 vin plate that matters :D

[riruiz_88]

anyone can get a Vin Plate and rivet it on. if anything the chassis number is what determines if its a genuine EK9

wow you're so smart.

[pinoy-boi]

welcome.

pics.... :P

[honrat]

Hi ya'll, thanks for all the reply. the car had a b16b previously but it blew. so the owner put in a b18c7. maybe it was cheaper. But what i've plan to do is to drive it first, get use to the car and probably put in a b16b in the future. Well, I am very glad to be in this forum. Would need all your advice in the up and coming days or years.:wave:

[u mad?]

but the b18c7 is better in just about every way

[riruiz_88]

i wouldnt say so. different gearbox ratios and different compression ratios etc...

[SiReal]

Well a b16b is a destroked b18c

just keep the b18c. even mr. spoon says when the b16bs are due for rebuilds, to get the b18c oem 'stroker' kit. to push it to 1.8L.

who cares if its got a "7" at the end. its still hand ported, has type R running gear and is quick as hell for a 1.8L NA.

I bet if he went and got a b16b, he'd be disappointed.

dont forget that the b18c7 has 4.7 final drive.. whereas the b16b ek9 has the same gearbox as a EK4 SiR, which is 4.4 (according to BMI hot version vtec special on youtube)

[SHU-ES1]

welcome to OH! awaiting pics! b18c7 ek9 is no longer ek9 but still a great looking car :)

[riruiz_88]

the C7 may have type r benefits, but its still no match for the internals the B16B has.

[u mad?]

b18c7>b16b

[CB7_OWNER]

Doesnt matter what engine is better.. this a welcome thread to a new ozhonda member, keep it clean ffs.

[Chi]

you're a f0ckign noob, AUDM B18C7 has 4.7 FD LSD GB opposed to the EK9/B16B which is 4.4

And There is nothing wrong with the AUDM B18C7, there are too many things before limiting it in the AUDM DC2R including the Headers, exhaust.

the B18C7 will still munch the B16B with same bolt ons.

[sangyz]

jdm all the way baby but still nothing wrong with the c7

[riruiz_88]

^^^GANGSTAAAA!!!!

please dont take it to heart chi.

[honrat]

thank you.:wave:

[jords]

If your lucky it might have a B18c7 bottom end with CTR head, what numbers does it have on it?

Why did the previous owner change it to a 1.8L?
I know the obvious answer is he wanted the extra 200cc, and I can understand why.

[hisoka]

nice car mate.

dunno wtf people on about saying its not a ek9 no more. from the day its made and stamped with that chassis code to the day it will be scrap metal, its a ek9

[cymax]

This car belongs to seeker motorsport I think. Seeker should know best about the car I think

[cymax]

Why did the previous owner change it to a 1.8L?


The previous owner blew the B16B. Think he said that on page 1...anyway, i'll prefer to have B18C in it. B16B = overrated... :P

B16B<B18C7<B18C<K20A

[honrat]

Hi everyone!
Jords -I'm not too suire what number is stamped on it. I'll check when i finish work.

Hisoka - you are right, as long it has got the ek9 stamped, it does not matter to me whther it has got the b16b or b18c7. As long it is a ek9, i'm very much happy. Cause these little beauties are hard to come by.

Cymax - previous owner serviced at Seeker, the b16b blew and that's why he had fiited with the b18c7.Yeh!asked seeker before purchasing the car though.

So far so good, can't wait to finish work and take it for a drive agian. Its very addictive i say.

[eg5civic]

b16b is over rated, i would know i have one (though it is restricted at the moment)
in class racing by cc (ie 1.6L) i think the b16b would great hands down, but adding 200cc's to a car thats already lights only gonna make it better

Very nice car man, very rare in australia, take good care of it

[G-Stick]

nice car buddy,

but i am guessing that its an ek9 but register as an ek1?

[NightKids]

Whoever reckons a B16B is better than B18C7 doesn't know anything! hahahahaha

B16B may be JDM, but it's no match. It hasn't killed the EK9, it's made it way better!

[riruiz_88]

awsome car man, props for havin a gem in australia.

[jords]

i'll prefer to have B18C in it. B16B = overrated... :P



agreed.

[Perry]

Welcome dude so jealous. Always loved FL ek9's still dont mind owning one down the track.

[mr180sx]

hahahah. You tell em Chi. Damn noobs!

B18cR FTW!!

Nice car btw!:thumbsup:

thanks for the feedback guys. question to ask? When i drive , i find that there is too much of fuel and it is not burning up. after driving for quite awhile and when it comes to traffic, i would need to accellerate even more to move the car. i feel that the fuel or air is not even. could it be the ECU? Do you think i need tuning? Please advise. Thank you.

What ECU are you running now? Are you running any piggy back or power FC at the moment? If it's stock, you might want look into your throttle body. It might be dirty. I just cleaned mine yesterday. The car is running great.

Perry, you had your fair share with JDM. Your JDM front DC2R was a sexy arse. But you sold it....unfaithful guy! hmph...

[honrat]

I'm really not too sure, there is no piggy bag or power fc. probably stock. I'll clean the throttle body and get back to you. Is it hard to clean the throttle body?

Thanks for the quick reply.

[cymax]

it's pretty easy. Look at the diy thread below. It should help.

Cheers!

[G-Stick]

so is the car registered as an ek1?

[hisoka]

so is the car registered as an ek1?

lol ive been wondering how seeker motorsports does it too, and yeah iam thinking same as you, rego as ek1 :zip:

[G-Stick]

i am pretty sure its an ek1... u can see the firewall tag

[hisoka]

oh you think they just convert it over ? like all the running gear sorta thing ?

[90LAN]

from your small pics looks like it has the 17 digit vin no from the pics and no yellow personal import plate

so its a ek9 replica

sorry to rain on your parade

but please show us the vin no to prove me wrong

[hisoka]

lols i though it was just ghosted genuine ek9 ? i thought thats what most importers do.

true shiet

[jords]

OMG Not JDM...... who cares, if you like it drive it.

nah from the looks of it, its a genuine EK9 but with ek1 vins, notice the vin tag at the firewall.. jdm hondas usually dont have them.. best to compare the subframes to a standard ek

[mocchi]

maybe the vin tag on firewall is swapped.
if it was swapped, i still think its ek9, not ek1.

[G-Stick]

its still an ek9... but with the firewall or tags of an ek1... easiest to check the rego and subframe

[90LAN]

then he would have a car that would be a rebirthed ek9 lol

[G-Stick]

Yep...

Welcome btw

[hisoka]

lols :thumbsup:

i knew thats what they were doing lol.

[Perry]

I dont care if its a rebirth ek9 or not I like it. Someone hook me up.

[G-Stick]

the ek9 seeker was recently selling i think was a genuinely imported ek9 with rebuild plates

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Welcome to Ozhonda.

Quiet a stir you've started here, I like it, lol.

Enjoy your stay, sexy car mate.

[honrat]

Hi guys, the previous owner purely serviced the car at seekers. I don't think seeker imported the car to Australia.This is what i know so far.But i'll check anyway.The car is at my mechanics.I left it there as i needed to go interstate for work.Will update you guys soon when i get back to melbourne. Oh how i miz my car.:(

[Nonobui]

I think i saw a similar ek9 around at Pancake Palour.

Hope its urs and will c ya again around.

[integragsi96]

no i mean as if, its not an EK9 anymore with an Aus spec engine in it. but yeh welcome too man

not really. yehh might have an aus spec in it but over all it has gained a bit. still if it had a dc2r jap spec then that makes the car so much more...likable :thumbsup:

[riruiz_88]

i can see where you people are coming from, did a bit of research. my bad

[bbds]

I was interested in this car when the vin numbers were first changed! It has ek1 vin, But still super clean car :thumbsup:

[Nonobui]

OMG Not JDM...... who cares, if you like it drive it.

:thumbsup: As long as its a :honda: ;)

[MikeyG]

still its a ek9 fuk sake nice work mate :)
