Hey
Like i stated in the newbie section, im planning to buy a 97 hatch, i believe it have a 1.6 non-vtec engine w/ 120k+ miles on it. My friend is suggesting me to swap the engine with a i thnk b16 dohc something engine that's worth 2500 + 750 for labor.
Do you thnk it's worth it? Or should i just fix the stock engine and replace the timing belts and everything? Thanks! |
RE: Hey
well, it depends... do you want to build up your motor later on? You'll probablyget more power with the B16... D-series motors are notoriously difficult to raise the power in (unless you go turbo)
Really, the only difference (thatI know of) in the motors is the dohc vs sohc thing |
RE: Hey
Well it will be my daily driver to work and school, im not really going heavy on mods, just wheels and intake only i guess, the reason i want to swap engines cuz im scared that the motor w/ 120K miles will eventually die off. Im not really a speed freak, im more on the realiability side. You know where im gettin at?:eek:

RE: Hey
why not have 2 cars?
|
RE: Hey
if u got the cash Iwould def. do a b swap (more power and the sweet sound of vtec:D).
if well maintained a honda engine will last into the 200K range. |
RE: Hey
We have 2 cars but wifey uses the other one, so i just need something realiable. Swap it is!
Thanks! |
RE: Hey
If you aren't going to be modding it, then it stands to reason that you don't care how fast it is. Leave it alone. 120k is just getting broken in for a Honda.
ps- Reaper, you just made my sig. |
