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.
