B16A To B18CR ?

[HanJackaL]

Hi guys,

I am just wondering which would be a better choice, buying a B18CR straight away for RM 16 k, or buying a B16A, then modifying it.

However,theres a few things i am unsure about.If i buy the B16A, and put in my own custom Cams,ECU,crank and change the Head from B16A to B20B or B18C, will it be better or equal than the B18CR ? Also,lets say if i buy the B16A, can i rebuild it to B18CR for a cheaper price than buying the whole B18CR complete engine ?

Lastly,can someone give me a break down on what the Engine block and head is made of ?

Engine block = Pistons,Piston rods ... ?
Engine Head = Camshafts,crankshafts,valve,valve springs... ?

Those above parts of the engine is crucial in improving engine performance right?So that means,i can use a B16A and even make it out perform a K20A just by changing the above parts to the "best" ones there are in the market? And that also means that a standard B16A can be rebuilt into a B18CR just by changing the vital parts to similar parts or better of a B18CR ?

Any advice on this matter and engine conversions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks bros !

my advise.. B20B rojak!

B16A - B20B rojak ? Is that a good choice?Will that be better than a B18CR ? Lets say both are HEAVILY MODDIFIED...

THanks for response bro !

B18C Type R, better choice... no need change this change that... less headache.. if u rojak it will cost u more in a long run... B16A to 2L idle also like want to mati mati.. then to stable it need to spend money again 4 ecu, piggy bag n etc... so i think B18C Type R will b the best choice.. but depending on ur budget also.. if u think u want to R&D then, B16A ---> 2L.. if u those dowan headache then u know wat im goin to say rite.... all the best!! hope u make the rite 1, n dun regret like me.. :frown:

If got budget, go for K20a, newer engine n more fun 2 play but will run in between rm20k - 25k install stock standard.

u want kao tim 1 time then b18c-R lor.. but some ppl like to modify.. really modify.. from 1.6 change block to 2.0.. ermm.. how to say.. more challenge n satisfaction i think..

change the block to b20b..no hassle at all..the block with internal would only take 1 month to prepare..at the mean time u can just use ur current engine for a while..then when the block finish, just sent ur car to fix it..it would take about 3-4 days only..i did it last time for RM6k..still using it now..no problem..the tork is awesome man..

 

[HanJackaL]

Thanks for the responses guys.

Am i confused when i say Engine Head is made up of Cams,Cam pulleys,Valve retainers and springs..etc ?

Or is the engine head a part of its own ? Like engine head is engine head, just 1 piece of metal ? =P

Or i need a BIGGER head to fit in the better cams ? Just like i need a BIGGER block to fit bigger and higher compression pistons ? =P

cam pulley, camshaft. valve n so on is in the head... thats all component of the head.. without that the car will never start o move... all that move mechanicaLLy by the timing belt o chain...

hanafyEG has a monster civic there....don siao siao ...hear at his advice la HANJACKAL...its worth...y not jz modify it into a v-tec turbo? b18c turbo?

 

[aku_sangap]

hahhaa..listen to hanafyeg dude...he's damn rite about the b16a+b20B...ehehehe.....want more?..turbocharge it!!...then, after that..u car can fly.....

 

[HanJackaL]

Hmm....So i buy a B16A half cut and just throw in a B20B head? No additional mods needed to allow the B20B to run properly ? Will the pistons be too high a compression and end up spoiling the engine or making the Engine lag ?

Let me know please...Also, where do i get the B20B conversion done? And what do i do with my B16A block after i throw b20B inside ?

Thanks !

 

[white_bird]

dude.. it's B16A head n B20B block..
high compression wont make ur "engine lag".. haha,.. u tot turbo engine ar?? high compression is good for NA..
