Ok i have a 00 civic coupe with the D16y8....well it did have that motor. I have taken it out and was lookin to put a B18B into it because i was goin to boost it. but i have decided not to boost and want something alittle better! Now i have about 4 grand to spend on the motor.... but here is were it gets tricky...my car was origanally a automatic...i want to switch it out to a manual of course!! so i have 4 grand to get a ecu, clutch pedal assybley, motor and tranny, and clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder!! any suggestions... could go alittle higher if its worth it!!

 

4K..........mite get u the parts but idk about installation too.

 

yeah thats what i am talkin about....i already have a shop doin the work....mainly the wiring! i have 4 grand for just parts give or take!

 

B18c1. where are you located? actually, i might be able to hook you up on an ITR swap with pedals and all from the Teg, but itll be a bit more than 4K.

 

its a good thing you decided not to go with a B16B boosted because a.) that would not be smart because or the already high compression of the motor and b.) because you cant buy a CTR motor for less than $4,000. they usually run about $4,500 you best bet to get the best performance for you money would be to get a b18c1 and go to a junk yard and find a teg that runs and take the master and slave cylinders, pedal and all that good stuff

 

this may sound crazy but wot about the GX20 "the beast" from mr gasket. popular mechanics built a civic with that engine and ran it to 400 hp

 

hehe. umm... b18b, not b16b. and i looked around for that motor from Mr Gasket, and the only version i could find was an NA one. cool, but i saw that article in PS and wanted to see the specs on the FI motor.

sorry correction

 

correction thats just the motor axles are not included, shift linkage not included, and i think you still have to add shipping on to that.............like i said about $4,500
