i meant, he must know someone to do it for that much, or the guy doesnt know how much work is actually involved. sorry for giving the wrong impression.
Thanx to all who posted a reply to my question. You definantly put things into perspective for me :shock: (MONEY!!). I think for now ill just go the whole exaust, intake, ECU for my D16 and see how it goes. As for me loosing to a Lancer, I think its prolly cause ive only had my license for 3 months so im not that good at racing yet. ( Not that I race On The roads :roll: {if any police read this} )
I am looking at the same kinda thing coz the bearings in my gear box are screwed apparently. Would you really notice that much of a differenace from the y8 to a b16? I was thinking go a b18c if your goin to be paying that much for a conversion.
I would definately recommend doing all the labour yourself. You'll save money and enjoy doing it (most of the time). You'll also build a loving bond with your new faster car...haha
Price aside...If you are going to do it yourself its probabaly easier to just pop a turbo on it. You can do it in a couple of days if you have all the right parts and tools.

Ah, ok, ill just pretend that you didnt say that.
For a Y8, to get the same amount of power as a B16A, you'd need an agressive cam, little bit of bottom end work, I/H/E, & a port n polish
B16a head flows more air, 2 cams that are more agressive, & higher comp.
Do the conversion yourself. you wont regret it. youll need, axles from any b-series, b16a ecu, motor mounts, im sure there's other bits ive left out aswell...
lol u saying that bout the join date???? VTECnique apparently still a newcomer...?
look D16Y8s are quick, ask EK.1.6LCIV lol
hes got one with H/E done atm i reckon its quick and clean
i was tailing him with my B16A EK4 which i just freshly rebuilt
if you can do the work youself i recommend it... if not go B18C or turbo
but a B18C depending on whether we're talking VTi-R or B18CR/7
B18C from VTi-R has roughly same power as a B16A but more torque...
B18CR/7 sh!ts overall on anything besides K series lol
