Hi and welcome...Nice car. If it's know "run of the mill" D16Y" then why don't you look at turboing your current engine instead of an engine conversion?
i'll buy ur slow motor for $100
not worth it isnt built for turbo
who said? stock D16's can run around 200whp with a good tune. F/I this is.
neither are any other honda engines..Quote:

Yes and there are many of them running around these days STOCK with a nice turbo setup and the owner's are very happy as you will make a safe 120-140kw at the wheels all day everyday with the correct setup.Quote:

how much is the conversion costing you? cant be that much cheaper than going turbo
i have been really considering putting in a jdm b18c but i have been told to go for the b18c. Now this whole conversion is costing me 7600 aus this what i have been quoted. it includes f&r discs, pc motor radiator cv joints evrything can anyone tell me if this is a good deal. i got told by one of my mates that it was a very good price. WHAT DO U THINK?:honda: :thumbsup: :thumbdwn:
where abouts are you located
my friend did a b16a into his EG for under 5k drive in drive out. b18c shouldnt be alot more... well not 2600 more anyway.
im in liverpool but i am going to a guy in yenorra they are called good performance. its gonna have the brake system redone gearbox recondidtioned, air con re gassed intergra type r extractors and exhaust. computer radiotor doubble core, gear selector all new water punps heavy duty clutch plus the jdm b18c with low kilometers all for 7600 and the job takes two weeks . now if u can tell me where i can get the same for a better price tell me.Quote:

if ur getting ripped off it doesnt mean the jobs gonna be good lol
As what Ricer said. Got a b16a conversion for $4500 drive in and out. Or $5k with brake upgrade drive in and out (rear disc, booster/master cylinder). 3-4 day turnover time.
Pm me for more info on what you get.
As for $7600 for a b18c, sorry but thats a rip off. Gearbox needs reconditioning? why does it need to be recond? did previous owner ***ed the gearbox or something? Take all this into consideration when choosing to do conversion.:thumbsup:
err??? i've seen cheap jobs come out good:thumbsup:. Backyard FTW!!!Quote:

PM me if u need more information before deciding on doing a conversion
if u want a turbo set up, give this number a call, it will be cheaper den wat u are getting quoted..........include everything to get ur car running and tuned...
