Ls vtec dc2
Hi guys,
Im planning on building an ls vtec dc2. I already have a b18b2 engine out of a 99' gsi dc4 and i want to put it into a shell of a gsi or vtir. I want to put a b16 head but need some info on how much itll cost and. What parts ill need. My goal is for it to be faster than a stock dc2r
Thanks,

Pro Tip: Just buy a dc2r.
Sure LS vtec is a cheap alternative. Thats if your doing all the work including building your own motor.
Since you have asked a question like you have, Imma assume you cannot do this yourself.
Pro Tip 2- K24 conversion.
Will probs cost you around the same if anything little cheaper if things go your way, but be a better platform.

My dad is a mechanic so all that work he can do. All im really paying for i think is the parts and tune. I also like the idea of the non type rs having sunroof and sound deadening :/ seems more comfortable for a daily
-
Its gonna be waaaaay cheaper to buy a DC2R than the hassles of reshelling a new shell with a built motor.
Think about all the blue slip hassles etc etc.
DC2R cheap as dirt these days. Cos they all have been treated like dirt by their P plater owners. (sure given like 5 examples I've seen personally are exempt from that statement)
-
Yeah i really like them but fmd theyre thrashed and i have so many parts from my brothers written off dc2 it seems a shame to let them all waste
-
Parts arent cheap buddy...
Also its not only the engine that's special in the type R.
Letme see where to Start........
Gearbox - 4.7FD
Alloy control arms
Thicker shift rods
Sussy setup
Brakes
list can keep on going.
Its gonna cost alot for a DC4 chassis to be a Type R.
-
Theyre nice cars thats for sure, ill see if i have a pic of my brothers to show you what parts it had
-
If you buy a VTiR with B18c2.
You can just get the Type R gearbox can call it a day. Sunroof and all.
Power difference in between the B18c2 and c7 isn't much.
-
Yeah was thinking that, seeing i already have the recaros and all

Ya man if you have the parts.
I'd def go VTiR. You still will be able to find one clean owned by a family guy.

Alright thanks for your help man i appreciate it
