asking all honda sifu sifu

[patrickchong]

now im planing to buy an eg, with b16a, not sure is 1 or 2, erm, im notice tat the engine is use 2.0 block before, but its sold, and i think its back to 1.6, is it got problem ? is it will causing anything to the engine power or wat? its 91' eg 4 doors, 20k, cash. and 1 more, doesnt have a code on the block that registered with jpj tat show on the geran ? thanks for ur all comments and information.

 

[shiroitenshi]

how you know the engine use 2.0 block before?.. (O_o)? noted in the geran, or...?

back to 1.6 means less displacement=less power ler... :P

Engine numbers should match the geran, or it would mean that the engine swap wasn't noted in the geran. If want to get legal, should send for puspakom testing.. if the owner give 101 excuses, you know I know lah.

20K cash is quite cheap, so consider doing some 'edisi siasat' on the car and it's history to prevent getting cheated.

 

[patrickchong]

wat history mayb its have? and 1 more important thing, its auto tranmission, if i wan to convert to manual, wat i need to change? gear box sure la, ecu also i think izit ? i mean is, is it more less power before its change to 2.0

 

[patrickchong]

if i convert to manual, aprox i need how much ? include the gear box or anything tat need to change ?

 

[shiroitenshi]

Not so sure, but from what I can think off right now, convert to manual, for cheapest method, ECU(yes, it's different), g/box, meter.

Camshaft for automatic is rumoured to be different, but not sure.. never compared one b4.

Price for ECU is 400-500+, G/box is around 1.6K, I think... workmanship charges.. depends.

2.0 generates more horsepower because it has more displacement than a 1.6.

A 1.6 will never beat a 2.0 engine if both are similarly built for max power, IMO.

 

[patrickchong]

quite expensive, need 2k - 3k also .... the owner told me that before is manual, but converted to auto bcoz kl traffic problem, reasonable? tats mean the engine come with auto g/box the camshaft degree is diffrent or any else diffrent ? im confuse...

 

[patrickchong]

i still find the thread that the owner post it on zth market place, aik.. cant get it...

 

[shiroitenshi]

if 2-3K is expensive.. I think better you find another car that's already manual..

but even then, repairs probably required since the EG is an OLD car already, unless you strike lucky and meet a guy who maintained his engine & car well (which he won't be selling cheap, of course)

 

[patrickchong]

if engine come with auto transmission the engine power or hp have diffrent with come with manual gear box one ?

 

[shiroitenshi]

yes... but even a b16a auto generates more hp than a 1.6 wira... the thing is, B16A is only nice if you stay in the higher rev regions, where the power's at.

Which is why you see a lot of (stock engine) 1.6 wira owners claiming they can blow the doors of a Civic B16A with a new intake/exhaust mods on their wira. :P

 

[patrickchong]

wat mean by blow a doors of a b16a sorry i dun get it

 

[patrickchong]

[shiroitenshi]

Consider your needs, then consider your wants... no one can help you on that one.

But considering he's already trying to sell it off for months... (O_o)
You've got to wonder why it's not sold yet? don't you?
