Which Motor? etc.

Yah, B16B is from CTR's. And you'd be looking at $5000 at least just for parts there.....

b18c1 = dc2 integra type-r's
u could also go for a vtir motor, dunno the exact code, probably b18c5 or something.

Um wrong man...b18c1/2 are from integra vtirs

The type R motors are b18c5,c6,c7 depending on if there aus spec, US spec or euro. Im pretty sure the JDM type Rs are coded just B18C

All depends on how much u got to spend mate. B16as can be sourced fairly easy and go for 2000 from that place in QLD, auto asian spares or something. The b18cs are a fair bit harder to find and usually go for around 3000-3500 or so. The type R motors go from anything from 4000 (have seen one once but never again) to 7500 for a front cut.

It seems as though the B16a is the most reasonable choice for me. But what sort of power will I be looking at? 118KW? to what my car is ATM?????

And the B16A is the DOHC VTEC right? Is it overall worth getting it, or can you not notice much different?

[[G]]

just put a b16a into my 2nd gen, i dont know what engine u have in your eg.. It was an alright upgrade for me as i went from 130 hp - 160hp..Yes the b16a is dohc vtec.

[CAT_SPEW]

I think I have the SOHC Non-VTEC motor 1.5 litre dual-carby. Not sure on the power output.
What was your engine to start with?

[Jnr Teggy]

whats your budget 'cat spew'?

[[G]]

my engine was a d16a8..think urs would be around if not under 100hp
if thats so ull be able to tell a big difference if u goto a b16a.

[CAT_SPEW]

whats your budget 'cat spew'?

My budget will be around $1500 to $2500, but I am prepared to save more if needed.

Aww ok, thnx for that [G]

[CAT_SPEW]

I just got a price of about $1700 roughly for that engine, but they currently have no stock. But told me to ring back every few weeks to check.
i was also told that the B16B would not fit into my civic??? Something about the manifold being to big..?

Make sure you get an EG6 front cut as the EF8/9 and XSi cuts are all cable tranny - you run hydro.

You will notice a nice difference - but will also need to order in engine mounts from the US - about 600 bucks+ I think.

Ummm - people fit H22As from 'ludes in EGs, somehow I don't know that a B16B is bigger.

I'd be holding onto a complete budget of 5 grand if I were you - especially as an EG6 cut can be 2.5K and up. That should cover an exhaust, electrician's costs, fluids and installation plus any problems etc

[SLAVE]

Yeah the B16B is the same as the B16A in terms of manifolds.
