I have a question for you folks on H-T. How much is a stock B17 motor from the DA worth that has under 80k miles?????Is it valuable to many out there that cannot find this motor? lmk cause I will be getting one soon in GREAT shape. Thanks, It will be complete minus dizzy, alternator, tranny, IM, and Headers.

 

Hmm maybe around $1000 or less. Yes, they are rare but they are just a stroked b16.

 

If you had the tranny too then you might be able to get a little more. Good condition low millage cable YS1s are hard to come by. But like itr1334 said, its pretty much just a B16.

 

I saw one sold around my area for about 1.5-2k but it came full with an aftermarket header etc.
But if it came with the orginal db2 body... now that's a different story

 

wait you would pay 1000 for a long block b17?

 

im gonna pay less than that just cause he owes me hahaha..I would not pay 1000 for the long block unless i really wanted it. Thanks for the replys guys. I will wait until he gets his original motor rebuilt than I will buy it for future use in a hatchback.

 

I wont pay a thousand dollars for it but I am looking for one so when you get it hit me up and well negotiate a deal. and btw the b17 is not a stroked b16 the displacement of a b16 is a little over 16**cc's the b17 shares the exact same displacement. it was marketing that discontinued the b17 stamp and continued the b16. research displacement for the two engines and you will see what I mean. just fyi

 

i got my b17a1 swap for 1,200. with axles, stage 2 exedy clutch+flywheel, itr replica headers, stock manifold, full 2.5 exhaust, ys1 cable tranny, ls hydro tranny (interchangable with ys1 to make the ys1 hydro), mugen valve cover and original valve cover, p61 ecu, 3 t brackets, 2 L brackets, 2 obd1 harness, and all 5 inovative engine mounts for eg/dc.. the guy was moving and i called it a DEAL! only 60-75k on the engine

 

And now im selling the shift linkage, ys1 tranny, and all the brackets and mounts cuss i came up on a da swap ready! all n all i should make about 400-550 back

 

produca2: I would say you need to do some research on the b16 and b17, because they are not the same displacement. b17 is 1678cc and the b16 is 1595cc. They also have different rod stroke ratio.

 

i got my ys1 gsr tranny 4 300 bucks

 

which b16 are you talking about, because the obd0 b16 is indeed 1595cc, (and forgive me for not having the research handy) but I do believe the b16a2 and the SiR b16 engines have slightly larger displacement/stroke. I could be wrong but I know I have seen this information somewhere.

 

the B17 has the "wow" factor and thats what makes worth what people sell them for....but not as rare and not worth as much when outside of a DB2 chassis......

you could probably get 2,000-2,500 for the condition your talking about...

 

actually all b16s have the same displacement. 81.0 mm bore and 77.4mm stroke. b17 has a 81.0mm bore and a 81.4 stroke.

 

B17a1 is alot better than B16.








Black_da9, you are the few who know what a b17a1 is. it sounds like everyone else is a lowball wanna be hauler. haha

I heard the heads maybe the same, but the bottom of a b17a1 is superior to a B16. Even the high compression b16 are lesser than a B17.

Honda released the B17 in Japan, UK, Austrialia, and USDM. I heard they were introduced as early as 91 or maybe even newer overseas when the NSX was Introduced.

I have driven a b16 on a S1 transmission, it seriously lacks the torque that a b17 has.
The Rod stroke Ration of a b17 is what makes the B17 a superior engine in the B series market, that is when Honda decide to make the b18c models.

A Stock 17 can out rev any other b series.

I have raced against my friend's 2000 SI, it was close neck and neck at the streets, but on top speed, he could not keep up . and i weight more than him. So what gives?
