conversion time

Wells guys i know you tell others off for asking questions that already been there and done that,

But this a little different im looking for people who have done b16a2 conversions,

The question is if u have how much have u paid all up and whats the little surprises u have got from conversion time and what to look out for if the mechinics are doing something dogdy..

i got about 1,200 saved just for the conversion and more coming,
was wandering how much drive in out with b16a2, efi fitted and can any mechnic convert mechinically delieved to efi?

if anyone can help me out with this, it would be apprecitated

around 5000+ for the conversion.

i would say 6k.

I would say pick up a spanner and do it yourself. :D

Save you a few $K

if you know how to do it your self it can cost you anything between 4-5. labour depending where might cost you another 1-1.5k
get a mate who knows what his on abt and get him to help u shout him a slab :)

mate do a search look throught the last pay on the DIY threads
i've posted up a b16a coversin for carbies.
roughtly your looking @ around 4K min inclduing the half cut
fuilds/fuel lines/fuel tanks (for carby cars)
new brakes disc here and there.
it all adds up
also plz do a search
there are son many threas about conversion and DIY conersion with pics as well

so how much for a b16a2 conversion into a vti civic with 4w dis brakes and efi alredy?

you'll have to change your front brakes to get engineer certifiacte.

but your looking @ around 3K

yeah if it's efi already around the 3ish if you do it all yourself.

save yourself the hassle and get a b18c or something better to begin with :thumbsup:

hrmmz thanks for the help guys ..

yeah my mates say its not the hardest mechnical precedure around but if i stuff up somewhere im gg'ed..

the engine do-da shouldnt be that hard BUT im not really fimilar with the wiring and stuff.. could there be other things that would be stoping me from doing it my self ? like things that i wouldnt have .. like things that i should leave to the experts?

but ive herd that if ur gona mod both, a b16a is better then a b18c2... and i cant afford a b18c7 so i thort b16a with mods will be sufficiant..

get barefootbonzai to do for u :D

lol dude
that was nearly 3 years ago..
i posted that thread up when i did my first conversion..
and btw my name is danny not this guy

well danny in ur signature u say pm you for these motors, can u please tell me who much for both b16a and b18c half cuts?

lol it's only $400 cheaper anyways. If you got the right connections, can do it all yourself and everything goes smooth, yes it's always possible to get it done cheaper.

what is a b16a4? i have seen this advertised in hot4s from a place called tweak it i think...

anyone correct me if im wrong, but..

essentially there are only 2 variants- B16a1, and B16a2.

HOWEVER, jdm only uses 'B16a' in their engine #, so the next number will tell u what car the engine was put in.

I know for sure that 'B16a5' is a JDM SiRII, so logic would suggest that an 'a4' is perhaps an SiR, or perhaps a Del Sol..(?)

Easiest way to check whether a1 or a2 is to look at rocker cover (if still original). An a2 has 'DOHC' in small letters, whereas the a1 does not.

all JDM SIR and SIR-ll's are B16a
they dont have numbers in the back.

the 1's with numbers are the EURO spec EG6 (as know as VTi )
and the other asain market EG6's
