b16a conversion PLEASE HELP

[10VDR]

hey i have a ek hatch i was wondering if i could put the engine out of a vtir version in my car with my gear box and all or would i have to change ....thanks

[bubblecivic]

well i asked honda toys and they told me i had to change the gearbox aswell. have you got a quote anywhere yet?
does anyone recommend any places?

well the engine itself is very hard to find.

The conversion shouldnt be too much of a hassle. buying a half cut will get all teh parts u need.

Possibly buy some rear brake kit for a conversion for discs instead of drums.

Use a search function on teh forums, engine conversions has been discussed to death.

yeah well my cousin has just done a b16a conversion to his eg (sohc vti).... he bought the half cut it was a jap import one and he had to get custom cv's and alot of other work had to be done, so just thinking if it is worth it or should i turbo charge my engine ...

[Chi]

turbo wouldnt be worth it with ur current engine.

But how much are u looking at spending?

[10VDR]

not really sure at the moment thats why i was just seeing if anyone new ? or could recomend i was told it would cost me 6 -7 gs to turbo my car it sounded a bit expensive for me... any help appreciated.

Ud need to change the gearbox, gearlinkage (+ brushings) all to b series stuff..

Im assuming ur running all dseries stuff right? The D series linkage from memory slighy shorter then the b series and the arms are striaght (ish) while with the b series 1 arm crosses over the other (or seems too)

The GearBox should come with the engine...
DO a DIY Back Yard JOB :p

If you're going for a b16 front cut, its probably more cost effective to sell the car and buy a vti-r civic.

Yea Id agree with Wyonde on that, and youd have alot less hassles along the way (trust me... b16a conversions not done properly = alot of hassel and headaches + possibly money)
