why not just buy a complete B16b?

 

FYI B18C5 is the same thing.... b16b is just a destroked ITR

i know, but when you look at the price of the block vs. the price of a swap, the difference is marginal at best, that is why i suggested it

because i got a whole b16b swap now, and to repair the engine will cost way more then getting another long block.

now if i get a B18C5 i will either have to buy new mounts, or keep my mounts i have now, and buy an aftermarket hood. no thanks. the new mounts will place the engine to low to the ground, and will scrap badly, and th after market hood will take away my clean oem look

 

if you go to hmotorsonline.com they have them for 500+shipping. just get it from steve they sell great quality motors thats where i got mine. to steve

 

500+shipping? highly doubtful on the b16b.... maybe the first gen b16a

 

if you were able to fit a b16b in the car already, why would a b18c need new mounts or lower the engine to the ground? they are both identical blocks. the only difference is the internals.

instead of speculation.. someone post facts

 

sorry yes i did mean the B16A. SORRY guys maybe we should all be exact.

 

 

i never see b16b longblocks for sale. IMO its harder to find that than a b18c block for some reason. And about having to get new mounts for the b18c5 or whutever that is nonsense. try passwordjdm.com they have long block b18c sometimes, maybe they can help u on a b16b.. try maybe selling whutever u have left of the b16b swap and getting another swap.

 

This might be restating the obvious, but did you go back to the people you bought it from, most offer startup warranties, or are you the one who toasted the engine?

 

I have one that needs some new rings from what I have been told just sitting if your interested
