Whats your budget for the B-series?

[louie]

3-4Kish, cheers for the quick reply.

[louie]

how bout a search?

have a read through the performance and price of each engine and work out which is best for you.

b16 - cheap very reliable easy to source parts
Power: 161 hp (120 kW) @ 7600 rpm & 111 lb·ft (150 N·m) @ 7000 rpm

b18c7 - tad more expencive little harder to find parts for, more performance
190 PS (140 kW; 187 hp) @ 8200 rpm & 127 lb·ft (172 N·m) @ 7500 rpm

b20 - i would say around same price as b18, although everything is custom, harder to source parts again, make great power! from what i know, not as reliabe as b16-b18
140-160kw with shit loads of torque

[louie]

hmm yeah will have to be between the b18 and the b20 with power, but like you said "not as reliable" any chance you guys know a good place to get a b18c7, where i wont get ripped to the pancreas.

Cheers.

a b18c7 would probably cost u more than ure budget

[louie]

mmmmm, rough pricing? i could saving again, its not vital that i have it straight away (:

[lsvtec]

id say around $5000-$6000 for a b18c7 half cut and roughly around $1000 for labour

[lsvtec]

or for example vtec1987 has got a drive in drive out jdm b18cr deal for $5700 for efi eg's

[louie]

(: id rather go for the k24 hybrid for sale then ... ill see what i can work out with him (:

Cheers for the input guys

[lsvtec]
