engine part ex / swap

Have: Imaculate h22a cosed deck (engine only)

Wanted: B18c4 with drive shafts gear linkages and mounts.

How come your gettin rid?

many reasons;

One of the reasons i was doing h2b was that it had never really been done before in the UK, that no longer being the case.

If i get a B it will drop straight in with no fucking about and i can sit the car on its ass just how i like without worrying about sump/manifold clearance, as well as not having to buy some expensive ass bits to make it work well/properly (mounts/kit/custom manifold etc).

Also with a B i wont be forced to grind part of the block away and raise the bonnet loads, well atall.

And I just want to drive the car now, realistically theres not a power figure the h22a can get that a B18 hasnt already got somewhere, and it revs higher.

b18 rules imo

sounds like a good enough reason to me

you can have my bottom end?

Really?

anything wrong with it?

one part of the puzzle....

yeah it was knocking, but if your going to replace the internals it should be fine it did have 70k on it, dont know if thats a good or a bad thing...

probably the crank,

Well i think what i would do is take that off you but still get another to put straight in, then i can build that one without taking it off road for ages (which i dont think i will be able to handle after waiting so long to drive the damn thing)

Unless ofcourse you wanted to do the same thing in which case obviously you should keep it.

lmk

nah ive gone down the b20 route

sounds intersting, still have to hook up so i can have a butchers at the car etc.

you comin to JAE with us?

btw did ian get in touch about your bottom end?

yeah when its back on the road ill come down to a meet etc

cant come to jae - work wont let me off

and yeah i sent him a message

kool.

GAY!

kool.

Yo bro your nearly as bad as me when it comes to choosing a good engine, b18c4 is faster than a b20 thoe mate me and ezz have both proved that, we both raced aroons b20 and pulled on it.

but hey ur car ur choice do your thing an enjoy it cant wait to see it,

tru dat.

but basic physics say that the B20 should be more powerfull (well more torque atleast), its the same but .2 bigger bore (i dont think the stroke is diff, not sure)

i think that the ones in question were just setup poorly and that particular one (cough) is heavy being a saloon

yeahh but my setup will be;

B20Z
C4 head
type r cams
skunk2 inlet
S21 Gearbox
2.5” cat back
street tuned

what u guys reckon?

SHould be pretty nice, as i say (which you probably already know), it will hinge alot on the setup/tune
