anyone?

 

come on people, help a noob out lol

 

You're question is kind of ambiguous.

Are you saying he wants your B16 block in exchange for his B18B block? I assume you are saying you want to do an LS-VTEC?

If so, then yes. The LS-VTEC does have higher torque and horsepower numbers than a stock B16.

"Will I be faster"= bench racing=lame.

Your buddy sure is jonesing for your block if he's willing to do all this work for a simple exchange. You may want to look for "the catch". sounds fishy.

 

There has to be a catch, I call on the friend being 100% honest. And if he is, but until then

 

umm yea i know the block is good because he still has it in his car

im asking WILL IT MAKE MY CAR ANY FASTER

YES!!

 

wouldnt do it. im not a fan of the LSvtec but i guess its all good if u trust this guy and if u will be keeping the B16 tranny.

 

this is just a bad idea waiting to happen. It will be about the same. How do you know how healthy his / your motor is? also, is there any REAL point to this thread? or did you just want some attention?

yea im keeping my tranny

 

his motor is really healthy!!!!!

 

Of course it would do something, displacement = a good thing.

 

alright thanks ppl!


all i was asking is would it make me faster because i want to be faster and my friend said it would and stuff like that

 

Sounds like a disaster if you had to ask about it.

Do you even know how to swap those blocks? You can't just slap them together and call it a day.

You need to do some more research! You are doomed if you dont SEARCH.

dont do it. u would be better and it would be more reliable if u just put in the whole B16 and do a couple small things as far as tuning and small bolt ons. what do u have right now? a single cam? that is what i have and when driving friends B16 cars its a huge diff. i say put the whole B16 in and see how u like it and then go from there.

 

umm i dont, my friend does, he has been doing motor builds and swaps for almost 8 years so he knows what he is doing

 

i got a b16a swap, hasport mounts, dc 4-1 header, full exhaust with test pipe, stg1 clutch, 7lb flywheel, jun ecu, and thats about it
