Front cuts, typeR, vtir.

[locote]

i got a quote for a Jap front cut typeR, imported and fitted $11,500, that a good deal?? whats the difference between aus spec and jap typeR.

or a aus vtir front cut fitted $7600,

B16a frontcut $6000 fitted,


Whats a better deal???

[z3lda]

ur gettin jacked!!

[tRipitaka]

ur gettin jacked!!

[locote]

i dont know if these guys are doing a dodgy deal here so im asking for info, i havent baught anything yet!!!

[FR33K]

b16a in a gsi ?!
do u wanna get beaten by civic breeze lol

[tRipitaka]

i really don't see a point in gettin the b16a or b18c done..
if u want a b18c.. might aswell buy a VTIR..
b16a is upgrading.. but not by much.. and you won't be beating any civic VTI-Rs

only one worthwhile is the b18c-R
but $11,500 is kinda pushing it..

[integraz]

LOL yes you are getting jacked!
for that price you might as well put a rb26 GTR engine in there! LOL

[locote]

why RB26dett. i could just go sr20det u13, for 5gs and have over 300fwhp just by highflowing the t25 turbo:)

[tRipitaka]

why don't u just use it as a deposit for a house :p

[locote]

cause i already got 1

[CONAN]

11.5k fitted? how much is labour alone??

is this including gearbox?

[tRipitaka]

cause i already got 1

investment property

[locote]

not sure bout labour. id say bout 2 grand ladour
he reacons ill go hard, itll be just as quik as a typeR. nothing mind blowing!!
i think i rather boost when you come to think bout it. 11500 on boost and motec:)

[Phantasm]

your looking at spending 11500 on a type r engine, and you own a gsi thats probly worth a decent 10k aswell? If i was you id probly save up a few more $$$ and get a genuine type r, that way you dont have to worry about dodge conversions and you get a better suspension, gearbox, brake lsd and interior package to boot...
Or just boost for 10k and be quicker than a type r, in sleeper style.

[joyride]

^ what he said.

[eG_YoDa]

nah man ur getting analled hardcore!!!
haha 11.5 G

bahahahhahahahaha
feel sorry for the guy that thinks its a good buy

[Benji]

those mechanics give different prices depending on how much knowledge you have, if he thought you knew you stuff, he would have offered a lower price. you should go back let him crap on a bit then laugh in his face and tell him he's full of it.

when i drove a turbo a few years ago, i got quoted $800 to install a BOV, i didn't know much but i wasn't that dumb. they'll try anything on the novices.

I thourght the reason you bourght a GSI is because you are going to Turbo??.

[Paul1985]

b16a fitted.. is this drive-away? does it include fluids or anything, at that price you would want upgraded brakes and suspension with that deal!!

just think.. to buy a b16a 1/2 cut from the wreckers its about $2500 - $3500..
now.. would you pay a mechanic $3.5k to install one??

[FR33K]

u wouldnt put a b16a in a gsi anyway
who would do that
it would be slowwwwwwwwwwww

[Paul1985]

true..
IMO turbo it, or sell up and buy a vti-r/type-r with the money you were gonna do on the engine swap

[tRipitaka]

depends whether u want to stay na or u want to boost..
if u want best bang for buck, go boost..
if you're still on ur Ps and odn't want ur insurance to go through the roof..
then stay NA..

imo, only the typeR conversion is worth it..
but even then, ur handling won't be as good as even AUDM ITRs let alone JDM ITRs

wouldn't insurance go through the roof anyway if he changes the engine

[Felix]

wouldn't insurance go through the roof anyway if he changes the engine



Yes, but it would be way through the roof with after market turbo..

[locote]

just found a couple of turbo kits made in the states. 4800 shipped to WA, cheaper than b16a conversion capable of making 3 time the power and 5 times the torque

[Felix]

yeah awesome. Dont go B16a , that would be a downgrade.
You allso gotta remember $4800 for the kit. But what about the internals? the manifold? the labour? the brakes? the suspension? the gear box? The insurance once its all installed. I currently pay $1420 a year for full comprehensive on my Vtir, i got a quote for it if i was to turbo it the yearly premium would be $3800. Thats crazy.

Oh and i wouldnt buy from the states, what if you have a warranty issue?

[tRipitaka]

remember that the states have a different engine bay..
the battery is located at the opposite side..

[locote]

just found a kit for aus integra, even cheaper they didnt say turbo specs but, prob a small turbo, ill have to wait and see. im paying 800 a year full comp insurance, 3rd party is like 150, i might just have 3rd party the car aint under finance so theres no obligation to, and theres heaps of honda wreckers incase i smash it!

[Felix]

yep, fair enough.
Good untill someone nicks it. Or ya roll it.

[locote]

no one will nick it hahah, its alarmed and looks like and integra with 17s nothing special haha, no one ever tried to nik my 200, and that looked more like car theif bait

[VTi_b0i]

"b16a is upgrading.. but not by much.. and you won't be beating any civic VTI-Rs"

Why is going to a B16A just upgrading? so it wont be that much quicker? even with a full exhaust and cold air intake and maybe even ECU and internals?

[Felix]

no one will nick it hahah, its alarmed and looks like and integra with 17s nothing special haha, no one ever tried to nik my 200, and that looked more like car theif bait

An alarm doesnt stop shit if they steal ya keys... lol

[VTi_b0i]

My mate put a Type R engine in his GSi and it flies! well for a non turbo anywayz...ive herd it pull 3rds :P and he rekons he's pulled a 4th once but iduno hehe... and to my knowledge he didnt spend over 10gz... it all depends on who u know...but then again his is a show car so the money aint really waisted, but when u go to sell it, it myt be hard and ull lose a hell of a lot...I would probly jus sell urs and get a VTi-R then turbo that :P but its up 2 you... depends how attached u are to urs :P

[edw-R]

I would like to stay NA and concentrate on the handling.

[tegraa]

Edelbrook make a quality kit for around 5K i think.

[NTR16N]

why RB26dett. i could just go sr20det u13, for 5gs and have over 300fwhp just by highflowing the t25 turbo:)

SR20 GSI... i liked to see that?!? :rolleyes:

[locote]

hahah, sr20det gsi could be done, would it be right but??

[VTi_b0i]

no way... stick wif the hondas :P if its not VTEC, its not worth paying for :P

[locote]

id say if nots vetc it has to be turbo:)

[VTi_b0i]

id say if nots vetc it has to be turbo:)
lolz well u make a point but still :P its a crime putting a non vtec motor in a honda :P if u wana turbo car buy a 200 or sumthink :P

[Felix]

lolz well u make a point but still :P its a crime putting a non vtec motor in a honda :P if u wana turbo car buy a 200 or sumthink :P


Thats what i think.

[locote]

i had a 200 haha, it cost too much $$, integra is cheap, and a lot of ppl understemate it,

[VTi_b0i]

haha see hondas are the best all round :P cheap to run and dey got ballz, and they sounds sweet too :P

[locote]

[VTi_b0i]

[locote]

my 200 ran 12s, youl need a lot of power if you wanna take it out and theres even quiker 1s out there now!! im gona fit a vtec head on my as soon as i can find one and some one that can do a proper fitting here in perth.

[locote]

lol, i have had good runs from older ss, but the newer 1s r to fast for my non vtec, non turbo 4, i was gona buy a b16a head but i got put off by this guy, then he tried to sell me a whole half cut instead for like 10gs,

haha u should go for it :D VTEC is the best :P u should put a B18 Head on cause ugot a tegra GSi dont you? wat mods u got?

[Felix]

just sell it and buy a VTIR or Type R. less hassles, and will probably be cheaper..

[Felix]

Dont go B16a....

[locote]

too i would have got a vtir if there was 1 i liked when i was looking, but im in Perth there ws only like 8 integras for sale and the vtec were either to much or looked like sh@#$%. i was gona get a crx but it got sold, and they are hard to come by here

[locote]

not the b16a engine just the head on my b18b blok, same as a b20 vtec conv

[locote]

and use typeR cams in it till i find a good set up using more agresive cams,
