A buddy of mine just finished this swap in his ef. He used the type r long block, then got a b16a and used everything else off it. Runs really well. I think he had some big issues with the distributer, and hmmmmmm not sure what else. He ran a 13.6 on slicks with no exhaust at mission race way. He had some ECU work and probally some other little things I dont know about in there Im sure though. So that should give you an idea.

I was thinking about putting a type r longblock into my EF as well, right now I have a B17 which is OBD1. All I need is a pigtail for my ECU , right?

I wonder if my times would dip if I put slicks on my d15?
I'm serious. Or is it too weak?
