Overhaul engine

[Shoken7]

hi guys

I am planning to overhaul my engine soon

But i want to find my own parts before sending it to the workshops to do it
1.) What are all the parts that i must have for a stock GSR engine?
2.) How much would all the parts cost me?

There was one guy offering me RM2500 including all parts and labour
But not all 100% ori parts (reasonable price?)

reason why i wanna overhaul?
engine making loud noise now..mech said bearing or con rod rosak

haiz...lotsa shark wanna potong me now
i dunno who to trust..haha

Hey bro with lots of shark waiting for u outside, i just found u a quiet pond with small fish.
I've a friend which is an ex technical instructor but now working at home repairing car in Klang. I think the charges would be fairly cheaper than outside mech shop. Btw what car u driving with what engine ?

 

[Shoken7]

oh sorry..forgot to mention
its GSR B18C Vtec in SR3 or some called it eg in japan

Bump: thanks for your info bro, but klang is abit far from my place

im seeking for parts now before sending for overhaul

i can recommend u Hingan of Jalan Imbi, this is a authorized Honda stockist. I had been dealing with them b4. Their price quite reasonable and they are expert with all Honda parts.

I can recommend u another place which somewhere in Ampang. He is very very very experience with Honda. He prepares Honda track car as well. Craftmanship is good, and also a very good tuner. The price should be fine.

 

[Shoken7]

ic.thanks.whats the shop number? i might go check it out

 

[Shoken7]

nobody willing to discuss/help ?
haha..nvm den..i'll go door to door n ask for price

went to another shop nearby k.i.p
quoted me

1.) Repair, use back some old parts RM2500
2.) Change all parts , still use ori honda parts RM4500
3.) Change engine kosong B18c RM 4500
4.) Change engine kosong B18C-R with manifold RM8000

option 4 is definitely out...too expensive

Bump: this shop said i can use b20b conrod...claiming will give me higher engine compression
true or false?

1stly need to know ur budget??
1.more budget change every needed parts that need to change..used ori honda or performance parts
2.medium budget ..upgraded to b20 or take floor engine and use back all the parts but sometime have to depend on the parts still nice onot

if u choose 1....guarantee long life use
choose 2..no guarantee how long u can go bcos u r using used part

correct me if im wrong.....just my2cent

 

[Shoken7]

i have 5 grand to spend
tell me more about 1.
whats the normal rate to change everything?

then i guess option 2 is depending on what parts have to be changed = total price of repair

problem is...i dont know if the workshop is giving me ori or fake parts
any way to check?

im going to be sending my car to the workshop by monday..

 

[eg9_05]

ori honda parts roughly cost u around 3-5k also depending on ur demand, if performance will b 4-8k or maybe 9k la .....just approx only

normally in ur case u can choose to buy the parts urself n send to the foreman,ask him list u the parts that needed to change...he list u buy..thats all at last u only pay him labour charge only..approx 1.5k-2k la + if got xtra work like port n polish also have to add in.

this way is easier for u.....if u still scare ..u can try go there everyday lepak from the shop open untill close ...... monitor their work n how they do ur engine , make sure every parts u bought is put in ur engine.....

good luck

 

[amTonjet]

[Shoken7]

am TONJET..where is ur garage?

Wah bro Am,

you do repairs at home? thats cool...the tools must have cost you a bomb.

Shoken,

Since you have the engine out, you might as well go for performance parts..depends on what you intend to change.if youre going for B20,then i think its sufficient.

If ur using the Gsr engine,compression is lower..you can consider changing your piston to b16a,not too pricey...if you have the budget change to type R head...type R head around rm2700 i think can get.Might as well go for a port and polish also..Performance wise i think you will be sattisfied..other than that just do your overhaul and replace what needs to be replaced.Hope this helps.

 

[amTonjet]

no lah...all the expensive stuff like the engine jack i borrow from my workplace...kasi kawtim sama manager la....hahaha

 

[kuNyit]

is better to check what's da problem exactly... otherwise all of then will con you!!!
go for a gud and knowledgeable mech

 

[Shoken7]

amtonjet...thanks for ur offer...but its too far...afriad engine pecah by the time reach there..

ad eg...thanks for ur suggestions..type R head sounds good...as well as b16a pistons..hmm

kunyit...yea...thats exactly what im worried about...conman mechanics...sighs
tell lotsa bullshit stories...and prices

so far almost all mechanics tellng me different stories
some say have to replace everything or else it wont last long
some say can repair back the damaged parts and still last long

when we do full overhaul...do they take everything out and put it back again?(whole engine from top to bottom)
or they just change the necessary stuffs is sufficient?
for example..they dont dismantel the whole engine..but just replace back the damaged part only
will it affect the overall performance of the engine?
lastly..how about tuning? have to retune again right?

 

[amTonjet]

ok..no probs bro~~
yup necessery stuff will do...eg:oil seals,o-rings,bearings,piston rings.gaskets n so on...
n if theres any damage part..need to change too..n yes it will need to get to the correct timing,otherwise no point to do overhaul...

i used to have an eg 2 doors wit gsr engine,
so one day a so called friend of mine lenjan that car till the bearing and crank bonded together(no oil).

so i sent my car to a workshop.oklah that fellar did his job.but u need to know lah wut should u change and what not.
for an instance,if ur crank and conrod still ok,why need to change it to b20?yupe,higher compression,but even btr if u put b16a piston,i did on mine,but wouldnt dare to put b16b one,hehe..
u'll get about 11.6 CR with gsr head,and gsr head is much smaller than type r head which is the same as b16a,almost quite lah.

owh yeah,the overhaul cost rm2.8k,with b20 conrod and cranck(have to buy b20 block though).
and b16a pistons,used.and here and there new and used part,which one is still ok i'll just used it back

i think its btr for u to change to skunk intake for gsr rather change to b16a head,IMHO.

correct me if m wrong.just my 5 cents.

 

[AD_EG]

Yes,

if youre gonna maintain with the GSR head,get Skunk2 Gsr intake mani which is almost similar with Type R intake..It depends how deep your pocket is bro...there a few things you can do...it depends how much youre willing to spend on the engine...type R piston CR reaches 12 wei...heheh skating on thin ice.

Why do you need an overhaul? if youre doing it just for the sake of keeping your engine in good shape..then just replace what needs to be replaced like brother amtomjet mentioned above..once the engine is opened up..they will know what exactly is worn out...but you should go to a trusted mech so you dont get conned bro.If you dont have any in mind hopefully some members can recommend to this brother in need...im in Johor,if you come here ill be more than happy to take you
