Hi I have a Ek4 Sir with 60k miles on it stock. I was planing to boost it I bought turbo injectors intercooler manifold and a s200....now in a shop where they import jdm used parts for commercial vehicles they sale a jdm b18c ITr full swap(motor, tranny, ecu, harness, etc) for US$ 2,500 ....what route would I go... selling my motor and all the turbo stuff and do the itr swap or just boost it.
thanks

 

I would go turbo - you're going to feel much more of a difference than a stock ITR

off topic --

what's up brother - nice to see another peruano here on Honda-Tech from Peru.

I'm going back to Lima to visit fam in a few months - PM me.

 

Are you saying you can get a B18C5 for $2500?!?! Well, still, i'd probably go turbo, being that you already have some of the parts for it. How much power were you planning on making, and were you basing it all off of your stock internals?

 

if that shop is really selling that ITR motor for $2500 then pick it up bro...make sure its legit, has good compression, and has no leaks or flaws....

 

After owning several turbo cars i honestly think turbo is really overated there are so many things that you have to take into account and there is nothing like all n/a power.

Why dont you just turbo the itr isnt it the same?

 

the compression is too high

 

Well run it at 8lbs or drop some lower comp pistons in there, hell he's got everthing else.

why would you put low compression pistons in an ITR motor? if you want to turbo your car then don't buy the motor...

 

yeah that would seem kinda DUMB imo to get HYPE R engine....the days of fast and furious and Hype R are over, Boost the engine you have and make alto more power than a shitty n/a engine for 1/4 the price.

 

thanks a lot ....I am planing to boost the b16 just 8psi i want it to last....but I think its more reliavable a Itrs engine stock..
yes it cost only US$ 2500 here jdm parts are not overated peruvian laws are very strange about jdm cars and parts...its difficult to explain..but in here jdm cars are tax free and they pass through a right to left hand drive conversion so people can afford to buy a car also this generates more jobs....here and in chile are the only countries you see a left hand drive DC2, ek9, dc5, gtr, levin, curren, at a cheap price..

is right. Maybe i'll find a nice home down there GL with the boost

 

But it! If you go all motor then keep it, if not flip it for at least $3500

UH lets see 200 more cc, better designed head, bigger cams, lsd, etc... Then he could sell his motor a hopefully retrieve all that was spent on the type r. I'd bet that the type r motor would make quit a bit more power at 6lbs than the b16

 

ugh lets see....WHAT HAS better designed head??????? type r??? NAEEHEHH...b16 and type r are same casting....both flow 4.75% more CFM than GSR casting...so try again. if you are talking about the type r cams and valve springs and such...WHOOPPIE DOOOO...aint a dam thing wrong with B16 for boost..hes not gonna be going to 9000rpms. Boost the B16 and have fun....*** a HYPE R. an dif you ever wanna build it to a beast. Call Dave Hickman... he will hook that dam B16 up where if you added turbo boost and good susp you can be good for 9s and 10s all day long in 1/4. if you hookup. check him out.

 

the ITR motor inlcude tranny ...that means LSD+ final drive...

 

yeah cause $350 for an awesome LSD is to much.... lets see $350 for lsd, or HIGH cr no boost no power...just the stats of " IM A HYPE R FAN"

 

not to mention, that if you put an HYPE R in it...9084598834583453 people are gonna wanna steal your car to sell the HYPE R parts to other HYPE R addicts.

 

Only thing smart you've said all day. Face it a itr motor is a better place to start seeing how he wont lose much if anything. Its better than the b16 what the hell. Dude I have two b16s I love em as much as you do but the fact still remains.
I never did get that h22.

 

waste of money IMO...pay all that money for an engine, and gues what, ITS STILL STOCK !!! Put that money in the b16, and own that hype r all day

 

2500 is as much as you would pay for a b16

 

one thing. he already has the b16 , so why waste $2500 more dollars on another B series? put that into the b16, you act like a b16 cant perform..LOL..there are tons of FASTTTTTT b16a. hell there are b16s in the 9s sec 1/4. If anything just get a GSR bottom end. expletive a HYPE r

 

Its like a even trade for him why not then use his turbo goodies on the type r. He can sell the b16 for nearly 2500.
