Ok, I'm thinking about picking up a full B18a swap (engine, tranny, ECU, halfshafts) from Honda Heaven for about $1,250 and then installing it, but right now I already have a D16Z6 in my '91 CRX Si, but I was wondering if it would be better to get the engine built now or if I should wait.


I want to eventually turbocharge the motor which would run hard when pushed, but also be a reliable daily driver. Now what is a good build up one of these motors? I was thinking about doing a GReddy 18G turbo kit, but I want it to handel the turbo instead of be pushed by it. Now What would I need to buy to claim to have a "built motor"?

What are good:
1. Rods
2. Cams
3. Pistons
4. Sleeves
5. Valve Springs
6. ???


Thanks for any info. Sorry, I'm kind of a newbie at the Honda thing, but I'm looking forward to seeing what a CRX can do w/ an LS Turbo!!!

 

How much can I get for a D16Z6, motor, tranny, and ECU??? Came out of a '92 Civic hatchback Si. If I can sell it then I can go ahead and get the LS motor instead of pulling the engine to wire it up, but I need to know how much the engine, tranny, ECU is worth if anything at all???

 

Anyone want a Blitz dual drive BOV w/ the flange for a MKIII Supra...$260 shipped.

 

the B18A swap is one of the best out there, ready for an 8 psi rev-hard kit as it is, no internal mods neccacary.

Honda Heaven has the best deals around D/FW.

as far as what the D16 is worth, dissasemble the motor to the point that it is a bare block, set a 3x3 foot piece of glass or wood on top of the deck, and it will make a nice table for the garage.

 

So there's no hope of maybe gettinga couple hundred for it ALL?

 

anyone have a website address for Honda Heaven?

 

I know if your Z6 swap is clean, you could easily get a few bills if you find someone in need.
