hey do u know where i can pic one up and anyone who does good work? and what are the specs of that engine?

 

What is your budget? You cant just go out and buy a CRVTEC motor it has to be built.

 

hay do you have money after the swap because you might want a more reliable swap such as a gsr or type r a crvtec is not the most reliable but if you researce it and do it right it will be worth it also it wil cost you about the same when its done but it will have lots of aftermarket bottom end stuff to keep it running stonger go to cr-vtec.com for more info

Heres my honest opinion. If you want something reliable unexpensive and relatively easy to mantain and basically you can beat it within their limits then I say to a b16a they are cheep...very cheep these dayseither that one or a b18c1 the only downside on the b18c1 is that is harder to find and much more expensive than a b16.

Also your car should take any b series engine but it has to be modified since those motor will not drop in easily (can anyone correct me on that).

The CRVTEC is a pleasant experience is actually the hot ticket in the hybrid world. Even QuickF20c was luring me into those monsters couple of days ago. I rode on a b20 powered hatch around here and let me tell you its pretty freggin nice. But if that what you wanna do..grab your pens and paper because there is some serious research to be done my friend is not easy to do and there are several other counterparts from other b series engine that you will need to make it work properly this is not to discourage you but yet to warn you not to take any short cuts when building an engine.


Good Luck my friend

thanx everyone ....... so i take it the idea of a ZC is not a good option?

 

B20 vtec ALL THE WAY!! thats a very nice and very rare hybrid. Another rare and therefore cheaper swap is one of my favorites the B17. Basically it is the B18 block with a B16 head the best of both worlds. But hel1 if money doesnt matter just go for a twin turbo supra swap! Oh and by the way this is my first post!
