Hey guys, today my radiator in my Eg went *big hole * but i got a replacement and i fitted it my self and iam so proud of my self, this is my first time actualy fitting anything my self to my car! appart from my wheels, and i felt so great, so while i was at the scrap yard i seen a few cracking 1.6 b16's and i was thinking once i get more money iam going to go for it any do a swap! i have a full snap on box with all tools *my dad was an ex mech owned his own garage* so iam going to go for it! i have read up on swaps and such things, but iam looking for a 1.6 Type R engine so its 190break or near enough!
this might be pointless to sum but i thot i would tell you lot

TYPE R motors are 1.8 unless you mean a CTR but hey good luck

rosco

stoopid Monkey , how do you mean?
6G 97++ Type R JAPAN EK B16B 1595 10.8:1 184hp@8200/118lb

which looks to me like nearly 190 not tuned so its all good!
but i might be wrong yeah?

A quick question! when iam searching for my engine what should i look for to identify it from the rest! b16 on it sumwhere or type R? some pictures would be great guys if you got them or sum information.

a ctr will be stamped b16b and a normal b16 will be b16a

rosco

Thanks sohcvtec1995 ur a star
i think il go for a wee look soon
is there anymore things that can point me in the right direction of a Type R? or would it just be b16b?

i believe that the valve cover is red. but do not go off of that. the best way is with the engine stamping..
