anyone have experience with jdm xsi motor in a DA. whats the most power anyone has seen out of one. need some input or graphs...ive decided to build my DA as a daily driver with XSi fully built.

 

If I remember correctly, doesn't the XSI use a SOHC motor, and wasn't it awd?

 

The XSi uses a B16a , and wasn't offered in AWD, I don't remember the DA that was offered in AWD.

wrong

to the OP, i had an authentic XSi, but obviously since it was a true jdm car i didn't go all crazy on building it, i rather wanted the car to be respected for what it was: an authentic japanese car driven in the US

and as an FYI, just call it a b16....not an xsi motor


if you want power...go boost...and skip the b16

:werd:

B16's are over rated and not reliable if you put a lot of power into it. GSR B17 would be best or New GSR.

 

b18c1

 

Alright i see what you guys are sayin then...well in that case juz lemme know what i asked before just about b18c1's then.

 

what's your budget?

werrrdddd....

 

Not really on a budget..bout to get a cheap beater for now so i can work on my DA but as far as abudget. dont really have one cuz ima take my time building it so ill be able to have the money needed.

 

since you have a DA, your best bet to be "quick", being almost stock would be a B18C with a b16 tranny. Trust me, it'll be really fun to drive. If you build the b18c and make at least 200whp with the b16 tranny, that should be a REALLY fun daily driver granted your not going to be beating corvettes.

 

nah thaz good im not looking to be beating vettes in my DA just want a daily thats quick...thanks for the advise by the way...im start searchin more on built GSR's try to find some graphs and stuff.

What Are you looking for? If you want a fun daily driver then all you need is a b16 tranny and a b18c.

 

yea thats exactly what i plan to build something fun and reliable enough to daily drive.

 

You will have a lot of fun with a b16 DA. My friend had one and it was a nice daily. I don't know if I would swap out a perfectly running ls for it though. Regardless it has been done before and you will have fun

 

My LS is about to reach 160...soon so i thought by this summer maybe swap it.

 

if ur gonna put another motor in ur DA, put one in there that is worth it, dont waste ur money on a b16.

 

i dont know about all this . i know some B16s that rip !

Not on DA's though

 

we have moved from B16's we are talkin bout B18c1's

 

The best way to build a b18c and stay reliable is to use oem parts. I would bore it out with ITR pistons, ITR/CTR valvetrain and cams, blox/skunk2/itr intake manifold and a nice header. All that and a tune would be pretty quick and still very reliable.

bump on the b18c with b16 tranny
