my temp rosak,thats y suma x sedar engine overheat.at highway still ok%2 il traffic light dpn rumah,the engine start to sound wierd.sampai dpn rumah smoke come out from the hood.

why u said rm15k for b16b?so expensive ka that type-R?if i change to b20b block,my road tax become 2000cc ka?

buy the whole engine+wirings+ECU is cheaper than half cut ka??
15k now is the normal price for b16b, b18cr 98 just a lil more. most people opt for b16b half cut coz they can use all the internals, dash board, air cond, console n all. if from dc2 u can't.

if you decide to change campur b20b block, normally ppl punch the b16 or b18 engine number n u pay the 1.8 or 1.6 road tax. legally speaking, no way u can kahwin the block n head. jpj will never endorse you.

better by half cut rather than engine kosong coz u get all the wiring, very important..... from experience, when doing transplant insist on getting half cut wiring into ur car....or else u might get head ache later n numerous trips to your mech...................

yeah... try looking around... you could probaly save around ++RM1.5K from what you have stated. Potentially even more...!! scout around first, refer the "reputable workshop" thread in the honda forum here and ask around...

B16A enuff looorrrrrrrrrr......

U read HondaTuning .... those guys would source for B16A first cos of price and realiability. Personally if u ask me, the rest of the B series are over priced....and B16A is also following suit......

15k for b16b normal la. if u're lucky u can get them cheaper. but u must remember, u will get type r engine n components + 5 lugs conversion (that alone costs 1.5k), gearbox, dashboard and meter (damn expensive dunno why) n bla bla bla

if want to fit into eg, u gotta ask hattech-v and crower.......

har har.... b16 is considered the best to play because of affordable price and lots of performance part for it out there. but nowadays the price keep coming up (never goes down) coz demand exceed supply few times over. u can see everyday there's people looking for this type of engine.
besides that, the engine can only be obtained from second hand dealer or half cut, honda not making any of those engines anymore (correct me if i'm wrong), so now it's seller's market....they can manipulate situation and the market
