Alright, the Turbo D has been overheating. I swapped the thermostat, flushed the coolant system, and recently got a new rad cap. Still eats coolant and gets hot. Im guessing its the headgasket because it doesnt leak coolant at all. Changing headgaskets sucks.....so i am going a different route. Basically im looking for a B series turbo manifold. B16 is what i will be getting swapped in soon. As i am clueless on swaps....where should I get it from? I will be doing the tranny swap at the same time....should be easier....so I will be selling my 5 speed S20 trans.....What kinda power will I be making with my Turbo B16? Not sure, but I might just become a B series owner......Just gotta figured out how much I should be paying for a good B16...and where to get it

 

[sm=boosign.gif].....byebye turboD. atleast u'll be getting the manual tranny and hopefully will have less problems with the B. good luck with the hunt, buy, and swaps!

 

hey maybe you will end up with my b16 and tranny. if you do ill warn you that 3rd gear is bad news

 

First of all, isn't this in the wrong section? But anyway, i would first check out www.craigslist.com you can find your city on there and check out local people who are selling the engine you want or you could put up a wanted ad. A couple weeks ago i saw a couple of B16s on the chicago craigslist website but they aren't there anymore. Maybe find one that is broken and rebuild it.

 

that sucks pete but at its time to move onto bigger and better i would say around 200hp with the turbo b16

 

damn that sucks, bye bye turbo d, i am going to be doin the same swap, just not turbo'd for a while, there is a dealer on the honda tech forum, i found a motor for like 800, or so, and it had ablolutely everything you need, so...i will be lookin for that again, as soon as i get a job, just waitin for this lady to get back from vaca. to tell me im hired, so yea, i was thinkin turboed you will be sittin at like 200hp!!! good luck with the swap...

peace

 

SunriseJDMmotors is reputable from what I hear. I think Kappa has gotten a couple of motors from there. $1250 gets you an OBD0, but it's a cable tranny I think. The OBD1 with hydro tranny is $1750 for the whole swap. Figure $250-300 foro shipping and you are looking at a cool 2 grand to go dual cam. Not bad.

This guy is selling a SSAC B series mani for $125 obo. You could probably get it for $75. I can pick it up and ship it to you. There is another dude on there selling a whole kit with a sick mani. I will see if he wants to part it out.

 

theres one bad thing...its a ss autochrome mani......it would probally blow apart while he driving down the road...

 

ill end up getting a lovefab mani or something

 

whats so much better about the hydro tranny as opposed to the cable one.
