RM10K Setup

[cad843]

Hi all, its been a long time. I got RM10K budget to built up my new engine. Which B series engine + standard mods(option) equal to my budget? My chasis is SO4 with small "V". Got 2 airbag and abs system and I want these function to be maintain. TQ ...

last i checked, Civic Type R front clips were going for 13k. u might b a lil short.

 

[hattech-v]

less than 10k can get b16a transplant only.
i got ek4 halfcut if u want... hehe

 

[fairy]

now honda big vtec engines price go up.. so what u have should be enough to properly transplant a b16a into ur car..

 

[shiroitenshi]

with the prices rising, I wonder why ek owners aren't going the CRV K20 vtec route.

I'd think with the prices of an EK halfcut hovering around 9K+, CRV K20 should be a tempting preposition for most.

my 5 sen; aim for gsr 1/2 cut. u get b16a's very soon u'll find urself
longing for more! ask shiro he should know the feeling lol as u can see he's
lobbying for b20 only these days.

the budget's enuff for proper installation & the mandatory new parts (unless if
last week's price doesnt apply anymore!!). yayy 180 ponies

then wats the cost to make it a real R i-vtec? if in US they have the Si K20 which almost like the R version and enhancing it is not a problem...but wat about the CRV version?? is same as the 150hp k20? dont mind to explain...

Thank all for the info, previously im planning to go for B18C + standard mods ... but now ... still blur which one to choose. Or ... depends on situation, maybe I might dump another RM3 - 5k for better setup

 

[arrowhead]

haha bro, i'd suggest u save a little more even if ur opting for a b16a. i passed my rm10k barrier due to unexpected repairs...

just my 2 cents.

Why go B-series if you can get H22A for cheaper than that. More torque and useable RPM powerband. I do own a b-series so i'm not biased in my statement.

Edit: Wait a minute, did you say you have a small "v"? you mean you have b16a small VTEC already in your car??

Last time I did bring up the issue of JPJ approval, and one forummer said it was possible. I'm sure some of the regulars here also have read it before.

As for B16A conversion, depending on parts you need to replace, it can easily break the 10K barrier.

Mine is a B16A on EG, and I've spend way more than 10K, and it still damn near looks stock and I'm still using stock parts mostly... but that's because I spend on handling more than outright power. My suspension and brake mods set me back around 6K plus(s2 camber kit, adjustables, EK9 5 Lug units, excluding the price of better brake pads, etc.

If you're lucky, you might score a halfcut with aftermarket parts, but that's rare.

i know of this particular b16a halfcut, which cost rm12k. it came with goodies from japan. but 12k for a b16a is.. expensive.. haha. but yeah, as shiro said however, goodies dont come for free.
