hi all , i am driving a LS with a jdm ( EG ) B16A atm , i am thinking to buy a B18C block and keep the B16A head , i have few questions for you guys
1. is it a bolt on conversion ?
the b18 c block is directly bolt on - just need a new timing belt off a type r, and obviously a new head gasket.
2. what do i have to replace ? ECU ? timing belt ? looms ?
the loom should be bolt on - there may be a wire here or there that wont have a place but fix the problem when it comes up. its not hard.
the b16a ecu should suffice, but a stand alone is really the only way to go to get the most out of the engine.
3. my engine number is B16A now ,do i have to get a cert for it if i change it to B18C ? P.S my LS come with B18A ( mine one is AUDM LS )
from qld as long as you have an engine smaller or with the same cc's then you are ok to swap it with out upgrading breaks or anything. thats what ive been told but do check up at the transport place.
4. is it a good idea to use my B16A gear box with the B18C block ?
deffinatly use the b16a box
also a great time to upgrade your flywheel to a lighter one - or at least get a type r one as they go for only about 50 buks.
5. i am using a 5 zigen header on my B18c with type r head (b16a head mould) atm , can i keep using it if i change the block ? ( B16A block and B18C block having the same height ? or slightly taller ? )
5 ziggen 4-2-1s are direct bolt on. perfect.
if anyone can give me some advise / opinion , that will be great !!! , any help will be appreciated ~~ cheers
