bro you in sydney there is a b18c with 80000km on it half cut for sale in syd for 2900. at just jap i think i have the numbner and stuff if you want it.
Behind the wheel of my car, cruising the hills of adelaide
Car:
ED6 Civic
as far as i know there are different variants of the b18c, all making different amounts of power. you might want to look into that first, as some of them produce power equivalent to a b16a, at which point, you would have to decide on whether to get a slightly lighter motor or a slightly torquey-er motor.
its cheaper and probably better power-wise to turbo it. get an ebay turbo kit for all the basic piping and manifold hardware, and then just get a better turbo, cooler, etc.
Current Performance Modifications to ED6:
not telling, but it involves a semi-quad carb setup, and lots and lots of compression.
very true, this guy quoted me on a b18c7. .... I just finished getting a quote on labour and parts turbo build will cost approx $1500, then actual parts including, turbo, manifold, piping, intercooler, bov, boost controller. ( t3 set up) everything needed for the turbo side of things $1200 australian delivered. then for the engine internals im getting eagle forged rods and low compression pistons approx $ 650 delivered australia.
im going for around 140kw atw. BBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSTTTTT!

hehe go the easy way out n boost it, u can always start with a cheap turbo setup and build up from there. would u really want internals for 140kw? i guess u'd need it for future references incase u want to aim for a higher power goals.

yeh i spoke to a few mechanics today and they reckon its probably the way to go at the end of the day its a motor with 110 000km on it and its 14 years old. so id be happy to go the internals for the extra money to be safe. with the new ecu the motor will be hitting around 8900rpm so i do need to upgrade internals. looking at something simialir to this kit from the same selleron ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...TQ:MOTORS:1123
there is alot of similair kits to that. probably get something very similair and upgrade the turbo or just run it as is and eventually upgrade turbo.
what you guys thinking.
really really looking forward to the build and running the quarter.
that just straight form the mechanics mouth as i said im new to this so i dont know. but internals are a pretty important thing when boosting. well thats what i led to believe anyways.
i reckon floggin a D to 7grand would do =) or if u want, pushing it to 7.5k rpm.. leave the 8's too B-series with their bigger and better built na motors:P

yeh true true well at the moment stock it revs to 7500 :s is rev limiter. i think 7500 at the least maybe a little more. so its could prob go handling 8k easy with forged pistons and rods and new ecu.

thats the link for it mate, i allowed 650 with the shipping and the exchange rate.... yeh that 1500 (labour) is for the turbo set up, so im guess about another 200-300 in labour for the pistons and rods what you think?/
