EF Civic

[xyeohts]

Hello there everyone...

i am currently thinking of getting myself an EF Sedan and swapping in a B16 engine..

i am curious how much would it cost to get a B16 into the EF.. can i fit it in? how much for installation as well.. can't find it on the Forums.. :)

thanks to all tai kors!

 

[lucian^^Gk]

yes, u can fit any b-series engine into an ef juz need do mounting...etc
glad to c still gt ppl playing ef nowdays ~
if can't find on this forum can try search others. GL

thanks.. but wat do u mean by changing the mounting?? any extra cost incurred.. i asked for the price and roughly for installation would be around RM8k for a stock B16.. is this true??

Getting an EF cause its the cheapest Honda which is lookable.. :D

 

[mADmAN]

yes its true....

theres already a number of transplanted EFs running around which u can look at....at least with these cars u dun have to worry about the smaller things like brakes, suspension, rims etc etc

@Madman: wat do u mean don't have to worry bout it? planning to get a Sedan EF from a stock ZC engine to a B16..

~well, is kind of modified the mounting which i was not quite sure not an expert here
last few month i did ask for the price of planting in b16a into ef & he quoted 2k not including the engine of coz...

or u maybe can buy a converted ef less hassle that's wat he told me. btw, can search mudah.com or car for sale on ZTH

 

[mADmAN]

dun need to worry about it means u dun need to do coz those transplanted cars will usually already have them

Dont buy sedan....buy kontot....more umphhhhh....hehehhhe( u know what i mean)
Yes buy already convert EF.....less hassle n more murah than u convert yourself....

 

[lucian^^Gk]

yeah buy a converted one is really much cheaper & easy... but that's one thing buying converted which is build by others not by urself sure it feel not the same~ get wat i mean??

 

[ae92r]

If money is not the issue....then go ahead...
I muself convert the an EK....some my friend convert before me told "Buy siap one...easy n murah"
Do wan to hear....convert myself...then modal habis.....my car still not finish....hahhaha....
If i follow my friends advise....surely my life would be nicer.......

xyeohts, get a converted EF, you may save some money for other upgrade!

 

[xyeohts]

ahh thanks for all taiko's advice for the EF..

it is easier to actually buy a ready converted one with less hassle and stuff..

but this current person i am buying from is the original owner for the car.. 1 owner and a fellow car club member.. he said it is one owner la.. the EF is Japan version with the sunroof and stuff..

just curious i heard this thing called a B16 engine and engine kosong.. wat does it mean by Engine kosong.. my understanding is just buying the engine itself.. i thought swapping engine is something like that only?

EF kontot i also interested but not planning to put in so much money.. wanna turn it into a hobby everyday drive car.. wanna take people also easier if sedan. 4 door ma... :D

 

[mADmAN]

engine kosong usually refers to the engine only... i.e block + head and all the internals

does NOT include wiring and gearbox etc etc...

for conversion... ur gonna need everything in the engine bay...hence u buy a halfcut and not an engine kosong... engine kosong u buy when ur engine has gone kaput.

 

[lucian^^Gk]

if money is not a issue buy a fully rebuilt b-series from Japan like the Jun & Spoon~

nah..original ef9 with modded b16a..loads of goodies..buy this can go whack sepang...kawtim

 

[xyeohts]

@MadMan: ahh half cut.. but how much would a half cut cost me? cause the friend i mention is an Auto.. so would want to swap a Manual into it..

taiko.. no money to buy that EF9 that has been fully rebuilt.. saw it on Mudah.. i would like to build it though.. :D

the prices for converted EF varies to which b16A models is installed...
most will be running on the vtec kecik= Kabel clutch which produces less power than the egs n eks series.. but the weight of the car actually compromise on the vtec kecik performance...

mostly EF9,CRX and DA6 engine halfcut are installed since its easier to match the Dashboard and the meter panel..

most ef/ed models are prone to have rusting problems, so be prepare to spend on body works as well... plus i find the EF chasis is not as strong as Egs or Eks...

but for my personal preference EG6/ 2door hatch are a much better platform in you wanna play B Series with lots of option from exterior n engine.. more upgrade options and appreciate value among Vtec lovers too.. EF are getting rare.. body parts are scarce and expensive even though it is used item...
