B18C7 in CRX???

[IndoStyler]

will this fit in a CRX del sol??? and will it be too much power if it fits???


and 1 more question....can a CTR brake/5 lug conversion on a crx del sol be done n is it worth it if a B18C7 just happens to fit in the engine bay????

[BiGANG]

yeh, itll fit no worries and there is no such thing as too much power.

the 5 lug conversion can be done as well just mite need lower control arms.

[tRipitaka]

yes, yes and yes..
it'll all fit like a charm..

and no, it'll not be too much power..

i'm still new with all of this engine talk....but wats control arms???....is that the thing at the bottom of the coilovers that hold the disc brakes in place??

and how would i lower the control arms??

[Chi]

no he meant change the lower control arms.

not lower it.

[IndoStyler]

aww ok....so am i right of wat it is?? the thing that holds the brakes to the coilovers??

[weezer]

I've had this conversion done and if you have a half cut you should have any probs. ITR brakes are easier to fit than CTR brakes as you can just bolt on the entire knuckle/brake assembly ect

ahh sweet as....coz i'm thinkin of getting a crx and doing a B18C7 conversion and now with the idea of a ITR brake conversion too....thx for the idea weezer...and i luv the wheels on ur crx

[ECU-MAN]

nice engine bay weezer :)

you should be ok to reuse your lower arms, just change the knukles like Vhin says

[czy_sol87]

how much are we lookin at for the conversion? and what motor is the B18C7 is it the DC2 ITR motor??

[Twincam16]

Why not just port the b16a head? and get a b18 block?

Wouldnt you save a lot for other things?

[IN73GZ]

b18c7 is out of the aussie integra dc2r.
puts out about 141kw i believe.

I would allow 10k for it if your goin to do it..

Motor (without brakes etc) usually go for 6-8 depending on condition, km, seller etc.. if you want the whole brake assemebly etc even more.. + your labour and allow money for misc stuff or stuff that is better to do while the engine is out of the car.. ie - all your belts, water pump, clutch maybe.. especially if you dont know the history of the engine

this is just on an aussie spec 1 hey??? not jdm??

how much KW more will a jdm version of the B18C7 have over the aussie version?? n is it worth it to get that engine instead??

[ekhybrid]

audm 141kw
jdm 147kw
