EK9 Engine & swapping

[1996ek1]

Is the EK9 Type R engine a B16B ?
And what ECU does the B16B use ?


In my previous thread i was talking about engine options. They were either rebuilding my Y4 with a Y8 head and some other stuff, or engine swap. In the end i decided its pointless to go with the Y4, and thought i might just look into engine swaps.

And wondering, should i be looking towards a B16B or B16C ?

EDIT: (i dont have that much money, what would be cheaper option)

hope that helps

B16a2 would be the cheapest
B16b & b18c7 are about the same
k20a ... dont think would be in your budget.

Ahhh lol, i was thinking of a B18C (lol )


Out of B16b & B18c7 what would i be better off getting?
(im kinda thinking B18, seeing its 1.8)

And yea, the K20a is WAY out of my budget

The B18 might not be cheaper (not 100% sure), but it is easier to access and you will produce more power.

Can someone tell me rough prices on

B18C7
B18C

(I see no B18C2 in that link, just a B18C from the DC2 VTi-R)
Any rough price is fine, just wanting ideas.

[kn1ghtm4r3]

b18c7 = around about 6k ish
b18c2 = around about 4k ish

thats wat ive seen them go for around. usually upwards on those prices =)

to answer one of your 1st questions, B16B uses PCT ecu, OBDIIb
