This thread got deleted for some reason that no one can explain to me...so here is the question again.
B16 that i am getting for $1000 (no labour) with homemade turbo, Or H22
Limit $3500
~looking for a 5 speed black Eg coupe~

imported_t_dot_SiR

which generation is the b16? what's the mileage? reputable source? a good b16 for EG is about 2000-2500 (depending on source).... a good turbo around 1500-2000 if your source the parts yourself.... tuning 500-1000$

that will go about cheapest 4000-5500!!!

h22 with new clutch and axles, proabably 3500 or less if you do all the labour yourself

Probably because all of your questions can be answered by simply searching in the Performance section. I'll leave this one for now.

as steve says "let it fly" for now haha

imported_Cablerat

I'd say H22, just because you'll still be stock motor and have less potential for problems.

Moving forward you may wish to build on the H22 platform.

Its just that having a turbo would be pretty sweet i'd say.
T_dot_sir thanks that really put things into perspective !
Moderators want to delete this thread go for it>.

haha if your paying 2500$ for a b16 you have way too much money on your hands... B16 value is 1500$ max!!! a used engine is a used engine... 500 for instalation...

For 2500 i hope your getting a brand new engine with 0km on it haha

THATS WHAT i'm saying!! I'm looking around right now...anyone have any suggestions? and $500 for labour? where can i get some of that? :-)

FearlessVtec

just try and find an honest mechanic i guess lol if your looking for an engine try scrap yards... maybe just go to one and have them let you know if one comes in.... you can get a good engine out of a car thats been rear ended or t-boned from a scrap yard...
most jdm engines that ppl buy in canada come from scrap yards in japan

imported_t_dot_SiR

keep in mind, for 1500, you're talking about first gen obd0, you sure have no idea how a good motor do cost some money, its the shipping cost, not buying so used ones that still claim to be 80000km which is impossible, and also, not those stolen motors that you're talking about that needs a quick sale

FearlessVtec

haha no im talking about a b16 out of a 99-00 SiR that was rear ended and writting off..

Do you have any idea how much profit there is for the companies that import engines? the profit is anywhere from 100-300% and do you think those engines really have the mileage they say they have?

they can have all the papers they want its just paper it doesnt mean anything... do you really think that there is like 300 000 b16's sitting around in japan with 40xxxkm on them? sounds a lil fishy to me..

its all about who you know... the companies import lots of engines at a time so all they have to do is sell one engine and the shipping is paid for and then its all profit... these companies get b16's for a couple hundred dolars

and if every engine and tranny is under 40xxxkm why do they always say they put new clutches in them??? i dont know about you but i can make a clutch last alot longer then that haha

i say buy a b16 block and build it slowly with new stuffs, then it's pretty much new.i got a 2nd b16 block at my place sitting there. i think i may build it slowly and drop it into my EK daily driver....... my del sol has a forged internals b16 that's boosted. wasnt cheap at all. but, it's fresh. bored/honed, decked the block and head so they are flush, new clutch/flywheel....

reason being, i didnt wanna do boost on a questionable motor...cuz i agree, there is no way in living hell there are 100,000's of b series engines in japan with less than 50k on em. no way. esp some of the ones i have seen that look REALLY ratty and the clutches are DEAD right from the get go, and SHOT timing belts....timing belts last for way over 100ks, and i've seen b16s that supposidly have less than 50k with some RUINED timing belts that look like they have never been changed...

i say, buy bare, build it up. not anything too retarded, but at least you know what you got...

imported_Paolo

if i read the original post wrong, then i apoplize in advance, but if ur getting a b16 with a homemade turbo already on it, i would say forget that. I drive a boosted car, and i would never buy an engine that i knew had been boosted before, ur asking for too many problems. I would take some of these guys advice if i were u.

Maybe if you weren't knucles deep in your own mom you would realize he's talking about getting a b16 for $1000 and putting a homemade turbo kit on it....not buying a b16 that was boosted.

ya, don't lock this thread....i've just been dying to use paolo's material (knuckles deep in your own mom) on here for a while now.
We're done whoring this thread....i promise.

I say boost a b16....forget the h22.

imported_Paolo

I agree, BOOST all the way!!!
Boost first, worry about the problems after.

imported_Nicotine

no way....

boost after a solid clean engine has been dropped in.

myself, im not a fan of the h22.... b16s have a buttload of parts avail for em..as do the h22's, but..i dunno..im a fan of the b series engines.

home made turbo tho....can be questionable....

snag a b16, clean it up, get it reliable....

then, if it's in your budget...boost ahoy.

i kinda like reliability .... i dunno what it is, but having my car run solid and clean gives me piece of mind
