wow , thanks ehdrian .
according to JPJ rules , is it possible to jump from 1.7 to 2.0 ?

 

[ehdrian]

the limit is 20-25%, if u want to know more then u shud ask runner..still 1.7 to 2.0 is less than 20% increment, so i guess it shud be alright..maybe u can join civic ES forum and ask the bros there..

If you have the time to do it yourself, you don't need a runner at all. It is very easy to do it. Especially if its a displacement increase of less than 25%

How to Endorse Your Change of Engine with JPJ & Puspakom Inspection

yes, agree the procedure was simple as long as u can take 2-3 days leave.
a friend of mine has done conversion from 1.6 to 2.0 and is legally on the road. thus, i suppose 1.7 to 2.0 is not an issue if ur concern is on the cc upgrade permission.

Another thing is engine mounting cannot be modified, right? Legal way that is......

ya , as what sifu vr2turbo said , engine mounting will be an issue for the approval right ? and heard that jpj are much more strict for engine approval nowadays compare to the old days .

Correct.

u can get a mounting kit from hasport (if im not wrong, i know they carry the kit for K20 into EK/EG chassis) AND i've seen a b16a into an ES before. illegal but owner has balls of steel.

best engine for an ES is undoubtedly k20a. dont waste time and money on b-series into an ES chassis. u'll only give urself headache and trouble.

A lot of chop shop and engine swap happening, that is why JPJ tighten the procedure.
Last time when I did years ago, just have to approach JPJ with the purchase engine papers, registration card, fill in form and immediately they alter and chop the registration card.

K20A bro because the K20A is a much newer engine and that means that you will get more value for your money.b18's mostly are 10-17 years old....good luck with your project..spare at least 20k for the engine and installation..

Depending on what engine went in, if the power increase is a lot, please mod the suspension and brakes too......
