[vtegra]

search man.....

also you might as well sell your and buy a vtir

[smomo]

The conversion your talking about is generally known as the LSVTEC, if you search for lsvtec there is plenty of information on it.

Hey bro take it to Hi-power in spring wood. they will do it for you. They are a bit pricy due to whats needed thats depending if you want it stock or not. Stock can still runs but will need retuning of stock ECU thats all you need to check. All b-series bolts on perfect no worries.

Correct me if theres more needed.

[michael1990]

ok ill give them a call and i was wanting to build up the block to hand the high rev limit aswell so i dont no if i should do that or just go a type r engine swap any1 no the labour costs on a type r engine swap ???

[macdog320]

i just did an import type r engine swap in my 94 vtir and it cost 2000 for the labour and 4700 for the engine and all the parts. However the jap ecu doesnt fit the car so i need to get an aftermarket ecu or something, so there will be more cost involved. My mechanic hadn't done this type of swap before and took longer than usual so if u find someone who knows what they're doing this will bring down the cost. Hope that helps.

Getting a B18cR rather prefer get a AUs spec one easier to install and will bolt into your teggy no worries. if get engine prefer half cut bro, cheaper that way and plus less missing parts. Buying from private to many parts missing.

I give you someone who does engine conversions for cheap his my mate, just get the engine and give him a call he will do it for only 1200 install everything bro.

Let me know what you think. When you become his customer he will look after you and make sure ur car runs smooth b4 you take it even if you take it and runs shit just take it back to him he will recheck it for you. He lives in sunny bank hills.

i really want an answer. seems like u want to do some side business but ur getting info wrong there buddy.

LS VTEC

you need

b16a head = $600 from fatboyz
b16a dizzy = $200-250 from someone
OBD1 vtec ecu = $200 minimum
golden eagle something = $250

labour = $500


=)


the scream that the LS Vtec conversions do... say.. b16/b20 or b16/b18 are much louder than the b18cr's or b18c2's =)

vtec is much much louder.. =P alot of more acceleration but not much torque that a b18cr would offer..

LOL i don't see how its louder. Care to explain? Yes LS/VTEC will have abit more torque then b18c2.

Are kids gone back to school yet?

[B16bcivic]

Yes kids have gone to school.........

[michael1990]

thanks for the responses i think ill just be saving for the type r conversion seems like it would be better in the long run.... but will i need a mod plate? because if i do i wont be able to get 1 because its illegal to drive a car with mod plates on your p's???

[B16bcivic]

Im not too sure but as of I know i think you might need a mod plate bro, as its not a optional engine for the civics. Due to its a 1.8ltr and the optional engines are only 1.6ltr. I not too sure will ask my mate and get back to you.

Please explain how would a Aus spec be easier to install then a Jap spec, UK spec or any other spec.

All the same parts but just different HP out put on the motors

I'm running a LS/Vtec with a AEM CAI and I don't know if its louder but yes its has more torque

[michael1990]

its goin into an 95 integra not a civic

[michael1990]

... i need to know if a mod plate is needed for a type r engine to go into a 95
integra gsi

[Tu88y]

check with your road and traffic authority

stop feeding useless info
and read before u type.

b18cR conversion into a Dc2 teg will be easy..
doesnt matter if u get a JDM spec or a AUS spec type R engine..
infact the JDM spec type R engine has more power
most likely with the mod plate issue.
since it's the same capacity u probably wont need a plate..
just tell the RTA or wat ever it is in your state that u have changed the engine

ok thanks for info guys

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't an LSVTEC have more torque if it has larger displacement on the bottom block?

Coming from personal experience id stick with an Aus spec engine. I thought all type r engines were the same too but the ecu's must be different, as after i converted my vtir the ecu wouldnt fit, now im ruuning a type r on a vtir ecu for the time being, really disappointing when u first get in and it runs almost the same. No i have to run an aftermarket ecu, so another 2000ish. For piece of mind an aus spec would be a better option and yes half cut is a great idea. I think aus spec will be harder to source so good luck.
