i wanna swap my engine , i'm not looking for racing it , but i do love the car and wanna put some hp on it , looking to get at least 175hp on it , but spend as less as possible , i was thinking if a d16y8 would do it ? or should i go wiath b16a1 , plus i will be doing it my self , so i don't want to have to mod too much stuff , so what do you guys sugest ?

 

SEARCH button works

 

d16y8 or b16a is going to require that you do some modding once its in.

why dont you look into a b18c1? what's your budget look like?

 

G25A
:eek3:

 

Well , Not To High ! How Much Would Be A B18c1?

 

Is That A Easier Than The B16 ?

 

Shouldnt you already have a d16y8 in it? B18C would require no further modifications to get you to your goal, but the motor is around $1000 more than a b16a. With that money you can just get a B16A and put $1000 in mods on it.

I personally want to go with B16 cause of the larger aftermarket support.

 

somehow i like the b 16 better , what kind of mods will i have to do ? how hard is it ?have anybody done it here ? i'm really going for that , so i wanna collect as much information as i can !

 

With those kind of horsepower goals, you'll either be looking at a b16 or b18c.

B18c will cost about a thousand dollars more, but you can probably hit 175 whp with bolt ons. I'm not sure you could get 175 whp out of a b16 on the stock cams.

The problem is, there's a bit of a gap between what you can get with just bolt ons, and what you'll end up with after cams & pistons.


If you're just looking for a bit of fun I think you'll be happy either way, so don't concern yourself too much with specific numbers.

 

but what one is the easier to do it on my own? i've never done anything like that before , but a friend of mine who knows bit about old american cars is gonna help me , i don't wanna have tons of problems when we do it you know i mean !
