i got a chance at gettin a b17 swap complete for $800...should i jump on it? plus neone w. a b17 swap id like to know things that will or will not fit on it? please let me know somethign soon...thank you

 

$800???!!! are you kidding? Jump on it! YS1 GS-R trannies in good condition are woth at least $600.

 

that was my thoughts on it...buy it basically for the tranny and grab a b16 long block...or maybe b20

 

[QUOTE=1]$800???!!! are you kidding? Jump on it!

 

nah man, you should pass. You can find those for $300 if you look hard.

-edit-
I got a buddy who is looking for a b17 dizzy though, hook up the contact number so I can get ahold of them.
Just buy the ******* thing already.

 

Damn, I'd buy it w/out any second thots.

 

BUY IT, if you dont, please tell me who is selling it so i can

yes the tranny's are good but why in the world would you buy a b16 longblock instead of using the b17 when a b17 is basically a b16 stroker. the head is exactly the same as a b16. and the blocks are great too.

 

ok...so its basically a stroked b16...i was told the difference was on the crank and rods...but another question is will the head take ITR exhaust cam and CTR intake cam? or is it even worth changin them on a b17?

 

The block is also slightly taller. I found this out by trying to fit a b16 timing belt to my B17. The belt was short, even when fully adjusting the tensioner.

 

Just buy it already.

 

haha....id of already bought it but its not out the donor yet, the kid is going from a b17 to an xsi b16, but i guess his loss is my gain, least w. this swap ill know the exact miles and everything being hes the 2nd owner

WHY?
Why would he swap out a B17 for a B16?
Doesn't make any sense.
He doesn't seem too bright.
How many miles on the B17?
Get everything you can, that he'll thrown in. ECU, axels, etc. It'll make the swap MUCH easier.

 

I wouldn't, unless it was in great condition.

 

well i guess its gunna have the ECU cause im pretty sure he'll use the XSi ECU....but another thing....is a b17 ECU obd0 or obd1?

I'm not sure but I don't think he can USE the P61 ECU. I don't think it's compatible with a XSi JDM B16 engine.
And yes it is OBD1
Why would he sell a perfectly good B17 and YS1? For 1/2 of what they're worth?
Sounds fishy to me

 

one of my good friends had a b17 in his 91 hatch.... it pulled nicely.... buy it now

 

for say, if this boy backs out....where can i buy a b17 swap? anyone know please leave a place...thank you

 

anyone know a website or retail location?

 

That's pretty funny he's goin to a 1.6 from a 1.7

whatever....

He's not going to gain anything really, mabye the shorter tranny, but I don't know bout those b17 trannies either.

 

Get it son

 

b17 is a great motor, two of my vehicles have had a b17, and I enjoyed every minute of them

It might take some doing, finding another one. They are on the scarce side.
Seeing as the ONLY cars ever equipped with them were the '92-'93 US GS-R's
I read as few as 700 were made, to at most 7000.
You really don't come across them all that often.
You'll have better luck finding a JDM B16. And they'd be cheaper, with less miles.

 

dude dont but it and let me know the guys number
i have a b17 gsr tranny in my car right now
and oh man do i love it
gearing is sooo short

i would jump on that thing like a flea on a dog
they are super hard to come across and they are
really reliable like everyone said the head is the
same as the itr/b16 head and the block is pretty
much similar to a b16.
i would get it with the quickness
