i found a b16a3 full drop it comes with skunk 2 stage 3 cams all hasport mounts and hasport gold mounts and a pro flow mani oh and ebay header i want this for my eg sedan is it a good motor swap for the price or is it junk????

 

If it's complete, with matching tranny (that doesn't grind) distributor, ECU and all then yeah that's not a bad price. Again this all assuming that it's not burning or leaking oil and with a good transmission.

 

do these motors make good power like will i like the swap??? or feel like i wasted my money

 

Depends on what you're expecting. B16As don't make much torque and they make max power at high RPM. If you're swapping from say a D15B7 you'll probably be pretty happy with it. if you're swapping from a D16Z6, you'll probably be somewhat less happy. GS-R swap will have a lot more torque (but will cost you more money)

 

going from y7 to b16a3 lol so i should be pretty happy

 

1200 is good do you know how many miles are on it?

 

guy said it has 40k documented and reciepts for everything

 

I would jump on that...and 4Doors are the BEST.

 

if your not goin to jump on it ill put tht motor in my sol where it was orginally intended lol... your car isnt that much heavier than my sol and ive driven sol's wit non v-tech and v-tech SOHC, and also the hard to find v-tech DOHC which this A3 ur wanting to buy and from my personal experience and opinion you will be very pleased with it

 

If you buy it how much money do you have set aside for things that should be replaced? I recently swapped in a B18C and I had money set aside for new clutch, timing belt, water pump, timing belt tensioner, hoses, accessory belts, valve cover and top end gaskets, cam seal, distributor with cap and rotor, fluids, VTEC solenoid gasket, plugs, wires, axle oil seals, etc, etc.

 

id be sketched out at a 40k mile a3. that swap is 15+ years old.

 

if it really has sk2 stg 3 cams its gonna run like crap or make power at 7k rpms on a b16....1st thing u need to do is get rid of those cams...and check under valvecover they tend to eat the rockers when not installed properly...but 1200 is a steal...350 easy for the cams alone...if u sell them...and put some gsr or b16 cams on it...stage 3 are for built 2.0l blocks...

 

...stage 3 can be for anything. the rest of the block just needs to be built for it.

as long as its a good running motor thats a steal. just get all the normal tune up parts before you throw it in. do you get the ECU too?

 

i think you should get it and boost it thatll be enough power trust me youll be so happy

 

Only for a while. Then you'll want more power.

 

^^yeah lol. U will get used to the power over time...that's when boost it! :D
