Can anyone tell me why this is so cheap.. Only 2k .. seems like a steal for being a type r.. and looks to be whole package

Sent them an email... hopefully get some info back by Monday.. no listing for hours that i seen.. so dunno if they are open on Saturday

Alright got email back quick.. 2300 with LSD.. this is for type r 175 hp JDM B16A SiR III.. still seems super cheap Way better option now than trying to rebuild D16y7 or even Mini ME for this cost

 

Yeah, that's a great price, but that's not a type-r. The type-r is the B16B, but still a sweet deal on a sweet motor.

I am not one to ususally advocate swaps, but if you have the money go fot it.

Don't forget installation. That motor isn't gonna do you any good sitting on a pallet in your garage.

 

Friend and myself doing install.. so i just hook him up .. that and looks like shift linkage maybe and few brackets with tune up for install cost.. but is this just an Si with upgrade cam set then??

 

its a jdm si motor (not exactly, but thats the easiest way to explain it) its basically the same, with higher compression, and i think the cams might be a little bit more aggressive.

 

Ahh got ya... still cant figure why cost is near 1k lower than like jspec and few other sites i have seen engine on then. even b16 for ek on other sites near 3k,, non LSD even

 

Because Sunrise is better... Trust me on that.

 

would this be the b16a2 then? i am not sure what the sirIII and sirII means. could someone explain? also has anyone had any purchases with sunrise and how good they are on shipping and getting the product to america? thanks

 

those are bs specs on that engine in that ad

 

So you think its doesnt push the extra 15 hp over stock us SI model? .. im not sure why there is an R at the end of the Si unless they put it there cuz of type r cam? but was assuming III means 3rd gen motor

 

The SIR in Japan = the SI here. No it does not push 175hp, hell to tell the truth the only 2 engines they got the hp ratings correct on are the D15B and the H22. I am not saying they are not worth it but just stating a observation.
