B20 Conversion Kit: Anyone Selling?

[DeaconFrost]

I want to make a B20 conversion, and I found this on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GOLDEN-EAGLE-LS-B20-VTEC-CONVERSION-KIT-INTEGRA-CIVIC-/250767396083

IMHO, a bit high priced for a collection of hoses and fittings for oil supply. Anybody making this kit here?

whr/who doin ur B20VTEC?dis is a very common thg wat?any competent workshop or engineering shop will know how 2 make dat hose thinggy......it's d cheaper & easier way of doing a B20VETC compared w engineering d proper oil passage in d block itself.....

b20 conversions has been a common thing for the past 10 years bro... almost any competent vtec workshop can do it these days

can advise for B16 to B20 ..basic conversion..how much will it costs ???

 

[ddv_nk12]

b20 block + b16 head + all that needs to be changed or u wanna change + labour. its hard to quote the exact price cuz i've seen blocks ranging from 1.5k to 5-6k depending on whats inside. the cheaper ones being stock and the more expensive ones with better performance parts inside. b16 head also is quite bout 1.5k-2k if i am not wrong. my advice would be, get the cheapest ones u can find if u plan on building the engine urself. no point in buying an expensive b16 type r head or b18c type r head if u r gonna change the internals.

anyway, i remember seeing somewhere that the b20 conversion is about 5 or 6k. cant remember when or where i saw it.

No this particular car is not with Siong. It's a car that I'm buying and currently without an engine in another workshop. I don't think it's very nice to tow the car away to Siong since it's already in somebody else's workshop. I'm planning to do a clean & proper B20B + B18C combo so I'm studying the US route.

Siong is selling the kit but anybody else doing it?

this workshop where the car is at cant do the B20 conversion?

hows about getting a b18c-r and put in custom 84.5 or 85mm sleeves n pistons? thatll give u ur 2L

Can't disclose more, sufficient to say that I didn't choose the place where the car's at.

If I get a B18CR, my thinking is not to modify it and just use it as a stock R. If it's not an R, then I can do whatever I want.

DeaconFrost,
1st thg's 1st....d current workshop whr ur car is in now,they r not familiar w a B20Vtec build or u think they r quoting u very expensive price?if it's either 1 of 'em or worst,BOTH,i won care much....might as well tow d car away 2 sum1 who knows dis kinda build w a reasonable charges rather thn suffer/regret la8......
n since u say d car has no engine(wat abt interior/wiring loom/ECU?)...it won b cheap....stock B20 bottom can go 4 as low as 800 right up to 2000...depend on market n who u know....n u'll need a DOHC VTEC head....cheapest wud b 1.5K 4 a stock B16A head(i think).....or try 2 go 2 Samurai Racing in Sunway...i know they haf alot of engine kosong lying on d floor....even a few complete Type R head..if u can afford dis,it'll b better......so,i'd say a budget of ard 5-6K is d ballpark figure 2 get a reasonably reliable B20VTEC...
gd luck

I didn't mention any price bro.

But since we're discussing price, I did ask the mechanic to collect a complete B20B block from Siong for RM600 since he's quoting almost double that price.

 

[akuma]

since u can get a complete B20 bottom @ RM600 frm Siong,i'm pretty sure u know Siong very well coz dat's certainly sum fren2 price der.....hence,i'm pretty baffled as to y u still 1na stick 2 dis relatively not-close-to-you workshop..but i'm pretty sure u haf ur reasons...
so,again,gd luck n do update us w ur build...
cheers
