just had a few simple questions about doing a CTR swap in my EG hatch. i have a b20 VTEC in there now that was going to be boosted but it has been burning a hole in my pocket. i may buy a full CTR b16b swap from toronto JDM or Hmotors instead.

a few questions i have are
- wiring... i have a z6 harness that i plan on keeping and was going to use my OBD1 dizzy and alternator to keep the wiring instead of having to use a jumper harness. is this possible?
- has anyone driven in a CTR swapped car and how does it pull?
- is it worth the extra $700 for an ITR swap or even $1200 less for an SiRII?

 

1. Yes.
2. Pulls like a B16, you just are able to rev the **** out of it.
3. I would get an ITR over an CTR any day.

 

yes just keep ur harness, ur dizzy, ur driver side mount, and lbracket and it should plug in play..

 

perfect, just what i wanted to hear lol. i figured i could just use my alternator/ dizzy / harness and get away with not having to mess with anything

 

you will hate going to a torqueless 1.6L if you have a B20 vtec right now, at the very least get the 1.8L

I had a B20Z in my last hatch, it was a lot of fun!!!! When i sold it in favor of an EM1 with the B16A, i hated the loss in power, b20 was way better. I had an extra B18C type R, just finishing rebuilding it to new specs, and getting it to replace the B16, it happening very soon, can't wait!!!

 

ya i was thinking going for an ITR but i think i still would have fun with a rev happy CTR motor. plus you rarely see them

 

still deciding...
