b18b with Ls head
brand new cobalt (i think thats how its spelled) turbo piston (standard)
Used t3/t4 turbo only (need to be custom piping to fit b series ($60 custom price)) no piping included

$600- total

My buddy selling it to me, what do you guys think (newbie to car). I currently have a 99 civic si with b16a2 stock , DC 4-2-1 Header, golden eagle fuel rail. I want to sell my si to my sister so I wanted to do my first motor build up. What do you guys think about the deal , it look pretty good to me for $600.

 

***Ls/Vtec*** b18 bottom end with b16 head... build that...

 

but it is a good deal in total right new turbo piston , b18b block with ls head, and t3/t4 turbo (made for toyota) but with customizing the pipe it will fit b series motor.... so overall its still a good deal at 6 bill. right?

 

I need more opinion and reply about the purchase can anyone give me their opionon... by the way when he say cobalt turbo piston - he was talking about ARP piston- so give me ur thoughts about on this deal

 

Well, I'd say just put the head from your b16 and put it on the b18 block so you'll have ls/vtec. But since you want to sell the car, then I say go for it. Is it complete or just the long block?

 

long block with ls head no tranny

 

B18b is ls.. So its not a b18b with and ls head its a Ls long block... Unless you misunderstood and its a b18b block with a B16 head (ls-vtec)

 

sorry about that its a LS long block no v tec head- due to because i already have a b16 head so there was no need to get another v tec head. The purchase come with LS long block- no tranny, new ARP turbo piston, used T3/T4 turbo for 6 bill how does that sound? i just need an opinion on the pricing what do u guys think

 

I need more opinion............. go for the deal or no?

 

i'm confused with all this talk between b18s and b16s...what exactly are you doing?

i'm pretty sure they call that the poor mans ls/vtec (b18 with b16 head)...do the ls block gsr head...they should call that the rich mans ls/vtec...

but other than that it sounds nice...i think you might get higher compression with the b16 head i'm not sure...do some research...

 

no all i want to know if its a good price? as far as what im going to do is sell my si to my sister - use the b18b build it myself and turbo it ..... but im really new to everything. So is 600 dollar a good deal for long block -new turbo piston- and t3/t4 turbo only .... thats what i want to know is it a good deal yes or no? for 6 bills
