hey guys

say i've sourcved a b16a halfcut, and the workshop i chose to do the conversion charges me $1500 for labour.

what are the common problems after halfcuts? who would be responsible under warranty?

also can you list me the parts i'll need for the conversion besides the halfcut.

lastly, how can i check if the halfcut is in healthy condition? and not on the edge of its life??????

thanks

I dont see why you need to change the a/c when going from a d15b4 to d16a8?

They are till d series engines.. everything should bolt up fine? What am I missing?

cant u like get them to test da engine ? alot of places in melb test da engine infront of u and comes with warranty or something ... u can call few performance work shop ask engine about a straight drop for the engine and get a qoute ... should ask around dont stick to one place ... dat is the mistake i always make hehe.

yeah, if you have a complete halfcut, doing the conversion yourself shouldn't be a major problem. the only problem, like what everyone has said, will be the fuel system. If you're lucky, you can get away with just an external pump and surge tank, but if not, you may need to get a complete fuel tank and fuel lines from an efi model.

better to get a fuel rail and tank off a EG si

best way

how come danny? Difference between carby petty tank with external pump compared to an efi tank?

[bubblecivic]

ok, new fuel system as honda civic GL and breeze are not EFI.

i'dlike to know how much you guys got your fuel tank/lines/fuel pump for?!?! also which brand pump do you recommend!?!?

i'm seriously thinking about doing it in backyard now as i've got a friend that's willing to help me out.

hey so you've sourced your halft cut?

how much did it cost you?

i'd much rather do a backyard job, except i dont have any mechanic friends....lol

bubble which mechanic was this?

[mugen_ctr]

quick question, off topic slighty, but what if it was a B16 or B18 into a EK/EJ8? Yea u could say get a Ek4 or Em1, but iev done 2 much to give up an start again...... given that the car in question has drums, d16y8..... would the pricing change given that the mech is doing less with reguards to converting to efi

Askin cause i wanna drop in a B16 or B18 next yr

Seriously pabols8, do you really need to bump 5-6 year old threads with one line questions? Just PM the guy if you need to ask something like that.
