b16 to b18

[aznstyler]

hey guys, i wanna get a EG6 and put a b18c in it, what do i have to do?

[90LAN]

just need to buy conversion harness obd1 to obd2a

just need motor, box and eng loom

easy as plug and play

[aznstyler]

how much am i looking at? could you give me a rough idea :)

[mnc]

4-6k depending on engine condition?

[thaizeg]

Yea the only cost really is the b18c swap.
The cost will be less once u part out the b16a which comes out of the eg6.

[aznstyler]

Or should i get the EG6 and then switch the engines over and sell the eg5 with a b16? so many idea's and now i read up about the b20/b16.. how much will that cost?

[thaizeg]

If u have the cash and can afford to wait around for the eg5 w b16a to sell then u can do that too.
Depends on ur situation. Could take a while to sell the eg5 when ur done with it.

If u r considering a b20vtec best to keep ur b18c setup and use all ur parts. B20vtec ur eg5. Or if u really want an eg6 b20vtec the b16a from that car.

[Samm928]

buy a k swap.

i want a eg6 but with more power.. was LSvtec?

[thaizeg]

Lsvtec was known by using a vtec head on a 1.8l ls integra bottom end.
These days ppl tend to use the crv 2.0l bottom end hence the term b20vtec.
If u are keen on an eg6. Use the b16 from the eg6 to go b20 bottom end.
Mild work done to the head and a refresh of the bottom end would net bout same power as a b18cr. The only thing that's better in the b18c setup would be the gearbox I rekon.
If u already have a 4.7fd itr box then it would be ideal.
Just my 2c.

[aznstyler]

So, b20 will be aorund the same power abd a b18cr?

[Zilli]

it's been known to create more power than a standard B18cr

[thaizeg]

It's known to make more because most of the b20 setups have intake headers and exhaust. They are also tuned.

[DCZ 18C]

it's been known to create more power than a standard B18cr

they can create more power then a B18cR but the thing is the power they have only really comes into effect in the low end,
my mate had a B20 block with a b16 conversion in his EK civic and it would jump my type R and my other mates DC2 type R but the type R didnt take long to pass the B20 conversion
its something about the rods from the B16 not being long enough for the B20 block so the top end isnt as strong' (or so ive been told)

B18C7 FTW

[cheapdouchebag]

its because the b20 block with most of the time being non oem pistons rods etc results in it a lil bit better lower end torque thts why the b20vtec jumps off the line a bit better. am i correct?

but in all seriousness, relating to to the topic. if u happen to find a eg6, LEAVE IT AS IT IS PLEASEEE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
dont swap this swap that. hondas generally arent the fastest cars in a straight line, but they excell in tracking.
its like this
a civic worth 4g with like 2grand put into its system for more power will get u (dont quote me im just puttin it in persepective) about the benchmark at best 150kw?
a holden worth 4g with like 2 grand put into tis system will get you at least 200kw. (again dont quote me)
but is the power usable in corners etc, most likely the 150kw civic will pull through the circuit better, think of it like a handicapped race where a honda helps staying on the tarmac.

if ur gunna get an eg6, dont do anything at all to it! maybe some i/h/e and sussy mods if u really wanna
but imho, eg6 are awesome and are becoming a collectors item, i dont really see the point going from b16a jdm eg6 to b18c.
a d-series to b-series i can see why, not b16 to b18.
thats just like saying why dont first gen civics/crx's the 1973's models grab some up to date EFI and and a D16Y1 at least if not b16a

ur better off just keeping the eg5 and building up that b18c.
my 2 cents.

[GSi_PSi]

There is too many noobs on this site, b20 block doesnt use b16 rods lol
I highly doubt a b20 EK would lose to a ITR even later on, but you never know there are some B20VTEC's out there running standard computers etc so
there are too many variables to consider , A B20VTEC has better overall torque than a B18C, so no matter how you look at it they maybe both making the same power
but the B20 has the torque advantage.

[Project-EG]

Have you got a B16a for sale then to buy the b18c or whatever motor? & is the EG5 for sale to? pm me :-)...sorry for off topic..
