B16A Intake Manifolds

[SA6YEuro]

Juz curious if any1 knows, will a B16A2 intake manifold wif the t/body swap in2 a B16A1 head easily or need some mods??

I noticed tt the small v has quite a complicated lookin t/body........

another question would a big v head fit on a small v block......

hav u tot of it???

 

[shiroitenshi]

the manifold should fit...

as for the head.. depend on the locations of the dowel pins.

as it being a workable setup.. dunno.. is the combustion chamber diameter same?

head confirmed can fit....

manifold also can. but u need to know how to modify. workshop ppl can do for u.

 

[SA6YEuro]

when u mentioned mod, wat needs modding? the heads looks kinda identical but the t/body is the obvious 1........

n r the cam profiles the same? small v vs. big v ........ auto g/box v. manual g/box

quite curious......

 

[xxxx]

small v n big v cam profile of course different le....

auto n manual also different.....

wat needs modding u hav to ask the mechs...or u wait till i mod mine...haha

 

[SA6YEuro]

[Oderf]

SA6Y, i change the whole thing including the idle valve control....not too sure what the other mod tho but i notice the sensor on the TB have to be moved from originally on the firewall (DA6 engine) to the TB itself (94 spec EG9).

XXX, yes i was once running with small v from DA6 but with 4.4 FD, hydraulic clutch gbox on my EK...

Hattech, change head but power loss..how ?

 

[hattech-v]

[hattech-v]

wahahhhhaha... if the other head not power then ony one solution laa....
kekkekeke...

 

[Oderf]

heheee...lucky the other head too powerful...need to reduce compression by changing to thicker head gasket.....hahahaaa.a...

 

[hattech-v]

too high compression can lead to head gasket leaking... danger to the engine.. kekekkeke
