What do you want to do with it? What "blew" on the motor? maybe you can just save parts of the b17 and replace with b18 parts..

 

i would swap it with a c1 or a c5 if youre a bIg baller with the extra money to spend..

 

build that **** back up...just make its stronger....b17s have too much potential and too hard to come by.... if u plan on junkin it ill give u $100 for it

 

jk

 

build it back up. same potential as a B18c, replace parts with all JDM best fit. best reliability. oh and thats just "my" opinion, for those who plan on flaming my comment.

 

so how did you 'blow it' ?

i had my b17a1 rebuilt and it runs great.. u can probably get a b18c5 for the same price though.. it all depends on what u want to do.

What is dammaged on your engine? u should look for a b20 head.. thats what i wish i had done.

no kidding, what kind of damage is done?

 

Get a B18c. Try finding parts for a B17... not as abundant as a B18c. Just ask some of the Hybrid guys at JDMHondaparts.com with their Project Blacksheep.

 

what really happened to your engine

if you blew the block

keep the crank and hunt down a complete b16 and slap your crank with the b16 rods and CTR pistons you will see the difference..

another option is to find a
b18c block with CTR pistons

there are more things to do but pls do your self a favor

do not rebuild that b17a is like building a b16a...

just my 2cents... and from experience I also have a 92gsr...

 

keep your b17 they are very rare and you never see them BE Different.
