hey EK4R, are you still running the same exhaust Adam had on it?
if so, you should look at changing to 2.5" system. reckon that car could deff benefit from it
Perth owner.. sold within 48hrs.Quote:

yea still the 2.25 adam had on it.
not intending on upgrade the car with performances mods as of yet, just doing touch up and cosmetics for now.
i thought bout 2.5, but that will have to wait as im tight on cash atm.
whats the benefits of fitting the 2.5 apart from power? would it be fuel economical due to better air flow?
lol more power = less fuel efficiency lol
SINISTR, how much was the conversion?
wat i meant was, the ratio of power/fuel efficency with the 2.25" compared with a 2.5" exhuast.
hard to say. i doubt it would make much of a difference on fuel economy.
car came with the swap done mate. it was engineered so i'd say in excess of 7K including engineering costs.Quote:

look at it this way as rough approximates:
$2500-$3500 for engine/gbox/loom/ecu
$2000-$3000 for swap labour.
I think thats pretty close to what a swap 'would' cost you. Engineering is just an "extra".
ahh i could get it done for less labour...
more money for cams, cam gears, valves and springs :D
a few tuners here in WA recommend a 2.5" exhaust for the DC2R so it makes sense that adams EK which has a B18C7 in it to be fitted with a 2.5"
most B16s run 2.25 from what ive heard so the increasement in displacement may be accountable for the larger exhaust piping to make benefit of the higher power figures avaliable
in the process atm. all up drop in car its about 6.5-7g thats done properly with all fluids, timing belt, clutch, flywheel, fan belts and full exhaust but im doing all this myself so you can add labor. the half cut will set you back about 5g for a pristine condition as new one.. anyway when my conversion is done in about 2 weeks ill post up a rough estimate of cost cos got not time atm...
and get a run of it on video :D hahah
