not many cons, it'll perform the same as a hatch but slower due to it's heavier body..
handling may also not be as good as the hatch, but that's pretty much it..
pro, you'll have a family car with performance..
do it
as for cons, cant really think of any except for resale value and $$
would be awesome project though
would be almost the same on the speed/acceleration front (there's only about 80-100kg difference btwn hatch and sedan but handling definitely won't be as good. The body of the hatch has much better rigidity and is shorter than the sedan as well as a little lower so the sedan won't be as chuckable as the hatch. Good project as far as it goes tho..
the sedan is just as good (handling wise) with slightly longer wheel base (almost same as DC2 type R)Quote:

why dont you boost it :):)
i used to own a JDM b16a eg sedan, now i own a b16a1 eg hatch... diff engine.. but same shit really. pretty much handles the same.. the sedan was faster i believe
i was considering doing the b16a swap into my ek too.. but i'm not so sure anymore. Going to cost a crap load, plus it all depends how long you intend on keeping the car. Always keep that in mind..
Bao....ur b16 in the hatch is shit :P shouldve just kept the sedan. neways man...i reckon go for the b16 in the sedan. ull b happier with the power then the d seriies you currently have. ull have mainly pros...only con is the cost :P and hoping the b16 that you purchase is reliable
thanx for the help people!!!!
I think B18C into a sedan...
The cost is only about $1000 more
mate if your looking for an engine i might have one in about a month, with all the bits. I'm going b18c from my b16a cos i'm after more displacement. PM me if your interested.
I've got my block ordered just waiting delivery which should be a couple of weeks...
i'm also getting a half-cut so you can have all the little b16 bits.
