B16B into EK1

**furiou5** · 14-07-2005 01:41 AM

Hi everyone,

Was just wondering if the Faq's for swapping a normal Ek4 halfcut parts into a Ek1 would be the same as using an Ek9 halfcut into an EK1.

A mate of mine said that it would roughly take 2 days to swap all the stuff over, dunno if that was including the console and dash, would that be about correct.

One last thing, whats the rough selling price for and Ek9 half cut these days. Any one know any one that has them available?

Any help would be apreciated, as im gonna try complete the swap, with a few friends and myself.

Thanks

ek9 cut goes from 6500 and up (full cut)

we have 1 full cut with everything you need and 5 lug brakes

but you are way too far from syd..

with that cut would it include all the panels and head lights, oh yer would the half cut also have the sensor for the climate control (if the EK9 has climate control)

why not b18c? it'd take the same amount of effort...

last i heard the b16b is more "aggressive" in terms of its cams... but then again.. b18c would provide more displacement..
why not a b16b+b20b(strengthened block)?

yer i had originally wanted the B18C type r, but i spoke to a honda mechanic from perth (I think Gavin's his name from Cypher industries), and he was telling me it is alot easier using an EK9 half cut for the swap, less custom stuffand modifications, less headaches, cos i only have an EK1.

plus this is my first type of project of this scale so im trying to make it as easy as i can for myself.

Form the people on Ozhonda i've spoken to it seems as if $6,500 is the normal going price for a Civic Type R half cut, but has any one seen the ad's in Hot4's, Fast 4's and other mags like that with place's saying they can sell them for $5,000, but when you ring them up they're like um no we dont have any.
