I did ask about K series into EG...cost around 2xk,but was thinking B16A head + B20B block,dont know which build to go =(
Going to convert my D16A6 engine beginning of next year
Conversation price B16A- RM8k++ , then B20B add another 4k++
Headache,sometimes I feel it...is it worth to spend so much,is it still worth to convert? but 1 thing I have to say,my EG is not going to sell off,it stays with us for 20years....is a hard thing to let go,but current engine really giving a lot of weird sound and engine become weaker and weaker...
I still need to spend a lot more on it,a lot of parts never been replace for last 20years
1) Aircon bearing
2) Radiator rusting
3) Rear drum brake giving weird sound
4) Exhaust bocor
5) Nozzle wiper no more working and some small minor problem
6) Sometimes Clutch footstep doesnt back to position...quite danger ><
Current engine RM0.28/km....does anyone know what is the fuel comsumption for B16+B20 build and K20ar?
Woah, lots of repair incoming there. Mine also 20years already, EH2, born same day as I did when it rolled of the factory (hence the reason I keep it).
Still running strong, but I replaced everything. The only part I think remained is the chassis. Total I poured probably nearly 80K or, but that's for almost 20 years of use, and include 2 engine replacement... considering TCO, still cheaper than other cars. LOL.
If not going to sell off, then restore it properly. If the price is too steep for you, then just go B16A for now, and the remainder, replace all the rubber bits. Total I spend on the windows alone and their rubber seals is near 2K+ last time. (all four doors, front and rear windshield) The underchassis bushings and stuff also add up. Frankly I think it's going to kill you if you put a powerful engine in and neglect fixing all your rubber bushings and bits.
A powerful car with leaky windows and dodgy handling is not a car you'd want to keep.
< THIS
Do remember that doing this doesn't increase your resale value, so if you are planning to sell it down the road, then no point doing the above. For me, I spent because I plan to keep it until the car falls apart from rust.

All the problems u mentioned are small problems and inexpensive to fix. Fuel consumption for my b20b is quite saving if i use ron95. Keeping rev below 3k rpm is key for fuel saving. I turn on vtec, don't even think 'about fc, lol.
Breakdown of price (estimated from my experience fixing mine, these are from various years, so can't be sure that the price is still like that.)
1) Aircon bearing
I replaced mine, less than RM100.
2) Radiator rusting
Plastic third party dual layer radiator (looks like OEM, but isn't) RM300 or so, single layer is cheaper, but not by much if new. Second hand the fins mostly bent or possibly leaking.
3) Rear drum brake giving weird sound
Drum brake hydraulic actuators cost less than RM200. (when I had drum brakes.. ah, the good old days)
4) Exhaust bocor. Welding is 10-100++bucks (depending on how good is the welder, what method of welding)
5) Nozzle wiper no more working and some small minor problem
Nozzle wiper, just buy from chop shop. If regular, they usually give you FOC. I got mine FOC.
6) Sometimes Clutch footstep doesnt back to position...quite danger ><
That's sounds like clutch pump already leaked/spoilt. Replace. Halfcut place is cheaper. New is sub RM200, I think. I've only replaced mine once maybe 3-4 years ago.
here really kampung
... then now u know why when u tell me 4.785, i silent silent
