Any swapaholics?

Anyone here with a motor not intended for their car in here? Anyone planning to in the future? If you guys are here, what did you build the car for, track or strip? What times do you run?

Just wanting to see who's here :)

I've got a GS-R with a GS-R motor. But I see your Jetta has a 1.8T. Nice little engine. I'm always impressed by how undetectable turbo lag is in this powerplant. And the little suckers hold out well to put out lots more power (there are 1.8T's putting out like 1,000 horsepower). All in all, looks like a beautiful machine. Very nice work.

I may be doing one this summer.....but I am not sure if it will be done to my Civic Hx. If I find a good deal on a 92-95 civic I will do the swap on that.

I have seen a couple hybrids at the track.

1. 95 Civic hatch with JDM b18c. 14.4 1/4 mile
2. 97 Civic hatch with turbo'd b18b 10.7 1/4 mile(heavily Built)

WHAT UP!! HA HA!! I guess Superhonda.com has a rival!! Well I am going to be doing a swap this weekend in my hatch..taking out a B16a and putting in a B18c. I will take pics and post here and at SHO.

-Dion

That'd be kewl...try to get it dynoed too...i wanna see what kinda power you're puttin out

:finger:

aight well ill give ya that i thought you meant it was street legal lol i didnt know you meant drag only.. i was bout to say :)... nice setup!! rich boy!! just kidding

As it turns out, I will have a hybrid soon enough. I have a JDM B16A on its way to me (block from California, head from Florida), which I'll be swapping in for my GS-R motor. It has many fewer miles than by B18C1, and its rod/stroke ratio is much more ideal for high boost supercharging. Plus I'm getting a great deal, so it's worthwhile all-around.

And I am definitly not rich. Hell, my best time in my civic Hx is only a 16.6! :( Should be a low 16 high fifteen next time I hit the track.

Ok for 115hp I guess.

Good Luck JD! :wave:

yeah not bad for that hp... im getting my racing package from gude here soon and it says it put a sohc b16 civic into the high 13's!!! damn it should rock on my h23.. but not sure just hopin :)... welp we'll see.. it wont be for another like 4 months tho.. ill post when i get it..

good luck racing that civic..

-=duSTin=-:D

So, you are having Gude rebuild your engine for you?

Do you know what you are getting into? Is your car going to be race only?

no no no they send you a kit bro.. its not like im messing with the pistons or anything but its going to be street legal.. if you read their website the3y say it will give you better gas mileage as well!!!

Any ya fellas willin to sell yer minds and know hows about all this!

he he

lataz :)

Yea, I wish I had the Cash to swap my engine. I would probally put in a B20Z or something.

the kit does seem kinda hard to install tho you would have to get someone that knows what your doin casue think about it.. they are changing the head, cams, cam gears, throttle body etc... the ecu and headers wont be that hard.. oh well i just cant wait to bolt on 50 hp... oh yeah! i talked to an older integra with a b18 and they said that they kept up and most of the time beat z28's! well i dont know if i can believe it but i sure do want to :)

Yea...some of that will be hard work. I just bought a 98 SOHC VTEC head for my car. Going to put it on this summer. But I am planning on pulling out the engine, and doing some other stuff as well. Mostly maintance, like new engine mounts, new water pump, new timing belt...ect.

I may remove the AC as well. I never use it...well, almost never. Even a 1hp gain would probably make its removal worthwhile.

what block you putting that head on?

that b16 you are taking out.. is in ok shape.. I'm looking for one for my swap this summer... if it is you willing to sell?
