Costs of Engines

[02ZZI]

Hello All,
Trying to way up prices here,
I am going to do a engine in conversion my 99 ek1 hatch.
I want to know how much these half cuts go for these days.
b16a
b18c5
b18c7
h22a
I want to build my car for top end performance.
Which do you think will be the best choice?
I just want to know your guys opinions
This may have been covered before but i think there has been a lil bit of price change between then and now.
Thanks Heaps


I am also having a lil problem with my car.
Sometimes when i start it up it will idle at like 1400-1600 rpm until i tap the accelarator and then it drops to 900. It really only does this when its cold is this normal. Also sometimes it will idle very roughly at like 700-800 rpm when its warm. Is this normal? common sense would tell me that when its cold it would but just checking to make sure.

Nice car I've got the same one 'cept of course the weight reduction of a missing window. I was lookin into doin the same thing to my car, & I decided on a b18c. IMO more torque, still more fuel effecient than 2.2L... Sorry, I don't know prices tho. Which b18 was from the integra type r?

c7 is from a typeR
c5 is from a vti-r

Go with a b18c (of some variant).

Or think fresh.

b16 2.5g
b18-r 4g
h22 2g

C5 is not vti-r.

C2 is vtir.

C5 is JDM b18c or also known as just B18c on teh block.

C7 is AUDM B18cR.

thanks anyways, so the prices wont fluctuate much on the age of my car? thats what i am worried about finding a 99+ half cut or will it be more difficult to find? yeah i am thinking of eventually going down the forced induction route but not for a year or so. Weight reduction is my first priority.
Is there a difference in the weights of the b18's and the H22? will it make much difference in handling?

h22a will **** up the balance of your hatchy, good if you want to build it to go fast down a straight line but not practical for circuit or even just daily driving. Cornerings a bitch.
b16a, or b18c are your best bet. But really b18's can be hard to find.

apparently not that much diff
not much weight difference either..

and if that is the case u can always stiffer front springs in the front to counter the weight problem

[02ZZI]

any engine mounts needed for b18's of all variants?

[z3lda]

if u have an EK, you can use the EK4 mounts which will accomodate for b16'a and b18c's

No direct knowledge, but today I was talkin to a Honda mechanic & he reckons vti or vtir engine mounts will fit... (We were talkin about b18's)
