98_SI_Coupe

so isnt that just the engines...then i gotta buy all the add ons right? and how do i know the mileage here...what if theres one w/like 300K...I dont know that, do i?

im pretty sure they offer 3 month warranty on there engines, and on the right side it offers you options for tranny/mounts/shift linkage/axles etc.

Double_B

Yep, 3 month warranty, all engines are compression tested and they also can recommend places to have the swap done. Give them a call, they will send you a quote if need be by e-mail.

Little off topic, but why is a b18b $2500 less than a b16b? I thought it would be the toher way around? Is it supply and demand or something?

EDIT: $4500 less

98_SI_Coupe

but the B18B1 has 142 hp/127 lb-ft. how is that much better than my D series? is this vtec btw?

Double_B

B18B isn't vtec

Double_B

Your D series vtec only has 127 hp with about 116 torque. The thing about the non vtec b series engine's is they are high in torque and have more hp then a d series non or vtec engine, not to mention they are DOHC

oh right, i was thinking the b18b was from an itr, but its b18c5 thats itr, and appropriately priced.

my advice to you would be to leave your stock engine alone and go buy urself a nice sound system or something else

imported_loudsubz

or air freshners

98_SI_Coupe

so do you guys think the B18B1 has more potential than my D? Also why is the B18B1 so cheap?($975)

imported_loudsubz

cause its low on the B series list but yes it does have alot more potential than the D

when you decide to build it up your starting off on a better platform for sure

98_SI_Coupe

But is this a typical swap? because my D only has like 80 kms on it, also is the B18B1 a reliable engine?

imported_loudsubz

as reliable as any other honda engine

just check out how many people have b18b swaps, its cheap, effective and a good start to build upon.

it also depends on your price point as well... i could say do a b18c5 swap but thats over your budget

so you have to figure out what exactly you want to do and accomplish, and see whether spending the money now on a b18b is worth it for you, or if you want to save more and have more "bang out of the hole" right away?

or would you be content with a b18b and then save up more for motor work later on to make more ponies

take a good long breather on this one and decide

98_SI_Coupe

well I mean for 975 on a B series engine sounds like a good price. Although I've never dealt w/teknotik so I'd call them up and have a chat about it. I would prefer to get the B18B1 and work on that, instead of the C5 for like 5000....but what I dont get is, How do i figure out the milage on these motors?

DumbasSi

I've even considered the B18B swap just because it's so checp. More hp and torque then the stock D16.

The k's on these motors will generally be low. I think that in Japan, according to their emission laws, motors are replaced at a very low k. Thats why swaps are so popular and these motors are plentiful. Teknotic wouldn't be a TCC Affiliate if they were selling crap.

98_SI_Coupe

thats true...thanks alot for all the help guys...I already sent an email to teknotik and planning on calling them quicktime...take it ez boys

well you will need more than just the $975 engine. You will also need the tranny, axles, ecu, mounts, shift linkages...from teknotik this packages is $2775.
But its definately a better platform to start with if you really want to obtain your 170whp power goal. I mean you'd still be a long way from it, but the torque of the ls will impress you. And adding a vtec head is a great way to increase power, there's more to it than simply adding the vtec head. I mean for a powerful lsvtec you need to raise the compression and change the rod bolts, water pump and oil pump.
