I'm doing a B18C-R swap into my EG and I have a few questions. It's the 98+ spec with the 4.7 final drive and 4 to 1 header.

Does the radiator that use have to be based off of the motor or my car? Meaning, it's an ITR motor but does that mean it'll fit and EG?

Do I have to raise my car? I'm running 15in Rota Circuit 8 on 195/50/15 on Fuzion ZRi's, there's virtually not space between my fender and tires. Do I have to raise the car at all or will the motor be a safe distance from the ground. The body of the car sits about 4 inchs off the ground as it is.

Lastly, is the header and 4.7 final drive worth $400 extra bucks? Does it make that much of a difference?

I would've posted this in the EG forum but I figure I should ask people who own the motor.

does the motor come w/ the tranny? if it does it should already have the final drive in it......

so, no the header is not necessarily worth $400

you should be fine w/ the eg radiator......

your ground clearance should be fine w/ the jdm header..... but i would raise the car anyways.... it does not need to be slammed to handle well......

The motor comes with the Type-R tranny (hydro) but the final drive changes depending on how much money you spend on it. Regular it comes with a 4.4 final drive and for $400 more come with the 4-2-1 header and a 4.7 final drive. That's worth it right?

I see what you're saying.

 

yes it is worth the extra money...u park your car at the barracks at miramar...think i saw your car there

 

My man...if you are buying JDM ITR motor with a tranny that has a 4.7 FD you are not going to be getting a 4-2-1 header. You will be recieving a JDM 4-1 header. Only the 96&97 spec JDM ITR motors came with the cast 4-2-1 manifold as well as all USDM Type Rs.

Damn this is beaten information.....

So that's a go right? It's worth it.

It was probably someone else

 

Spoon ECU or what, I want to be able to rev till 9800rpm

 

want to rev to 9800 or make power up to 9800????

 

Rev, I'll probably won't take it past 9000rpm.

 

Bump

 

Bump for a good answer.

 

Bump

 

Bump........wow, I'm virtually talking to myself

 

How are you doing?

 

On stock intrenals, would not go past 9K...

Stock ECU is 8400... Best bet is go Hondata S100, I have that in my tuned ITR motor..

 

i did a jdm itr swap in my dc2. i already had the 98 spec tranny so i just go the 96 spec motor swap because it was cheaper. i should have still payed the extra 400 because the header is worth at least 250 and then i at least would have had that. but ne wayz, are you getting the motor from hmotorsonline.com? i highly reccomend them. my swap passed tail pipe with flying colors. but remember, if you plan on doing the swap, you are going to need to run a us intake manifold, tb, evap canister, and ecu to be able to pass smog if you get sent to the ref. I didn't know that until 3 days ago. now i need to fork out like 7-800 bucks just to get my car deemed legal. good luck and enjoy. best money ever spent on my teg.

I just want an ECU that would let me rev past 9rpm, although I wouldn't take it that far.

Hondata huh? What makes them so good?

You got rims on your car yet Clint?

 

They can tune the engine and A/F curve to whatever mods you add to engine. Can also set rev limiter, but most mods do not make power past 9K. Not in a stock piston set up.

Your $$$ to power ratio would way too much to rev a ITR motor that high.. unless its for strip only...

Go to http://www.hondata.com for more info..

 

I know nothing about final drives, what's the difference between 4.4 and 4.7 so where it's $400 more

 

it is a lower first gear, and final drive is shorter. Basically let you acclerate faster and stay in power zone of engine in all gears, but revs higher and a little buzzy in fifth...mine runs 3300 at 60 mph... But much better for spirited running...

Well worth $400 in all respects...
