b16 for 600$?

I found a b16 locally for 600$, which is like 30 bucks less tan a ZC, but it only comes with the Motor, Intake Manifold, Exhaust Manifod, Injectors, Fuel Rail, and throttle body.

Since I have the saturn now i don't need to have an engine in the car right away.

Based on what the engine comes with for that price, would it be worth buying it and then getting everything else seperate. Or just save up and buy a complete b16 set for $1700 (with lsd tranny)

Or just stick with getting a ZC and boosting it.

I am making an extra 350$ a month now... so I want to treat myself with something nice.

I say grab the B16 for that price. I would offer them $500 cash first to see if they bite it.

$600 American seems like a lot for just the motor if you ask me...

Not really. All he needs is axles, shift linkage, tranny, and harness. I guess if you "part" everything out it's about the same price. Just look around first and see how much you can get the rest of the parts for.

I wouldn't buy it, its probably beat. hes still gonna need a ecu and stuff. and no he wont need a harness, he can just use his hf one, its a well known fact that you dont use the JDM harness.

its from hmotorsonline, i just didn't want one of you to steal it thats why i said it was local :-D

i say buy it, i had a zc and omg i hate them, but thats just me, the b16 would be a whole lot better, plus itll be cheaper than the zc since i think the zc comes with everything the b16 has except the transmission.

$600 isn't bad, but if i were u i'd save up and just get the package deal - so i can have everything i need to get started

What do you mean "The ZC comes with everything the b16 has"

my bad i typed before i thought about it, plus i think i was tlakin backwards, i meant on hmotorsonline, the zc, if your talking about the dohc one, comes with the simple shit, cept the ECU. I dunno what the b16 comes with, but i think the zc os sold out on hmotors, i dunno im all confused srry.

i have a chipped pm6 in my car right now, so i already have an ecu for the ZC... but the b16 is just so ... more powerful i guess i could say?

the only thing stopping me is I don't have a lot of time to be able to work on the motor to put it all together and I don't have a large amount of money to be dumping on something new every month... but at the same time I have a working car so I don't need to get the CRX running right away.

I just don't know ahhhhhhh!

i say get the b16 just cuz thats a pretty good price, and if you plan on boosting anyway, use the b16. those damn zc's are a pain in the ass, i know. but the b16 is just worth it.

Personally I would save a little more for a B18. just my opinion though.

ya i love the torque on my b18a

i say stick with your zc or stick in an ls motor, i saw that motor awhile back when i had my 4g and it just seems like a good price, once you get everything else you need to put that motor in and have it run your still spending about 1600-2000

hey, honestly i think this is a really good deal and you should go for this one http://japandirectmotors.com/id5.html
its the b18b for 850 shipped, with an ecu. all you would need are integ. axles and your set

hmmmmm looks like a copy paste of nippon-motors site? Hmm id be concerned about buying from

Oh omnacious, i just picked up a b16a locally for $300 bucks. Didnt have a distributor, IACV, Fuel Injectors, and thermo housing, But numbers checked out good.

I thought the ones on hmotorsonline site were complete longblocks for 600 bucks? And they said stuff is missing? Hmm id ask for a discount or something?

I wouldn't get it, cuz you'd still have to get stuff for it and if you don't know what you need then you'll be scratching your head. Just save up and when you're ready get a complete swap that includes everything. You may even find one with a nice custom linkage kit already assembled too... maybe an LSD tranny... hmm...

you'll save just by buying it all from hmmotors. we got jer's stuff from there. he got b16, LSD tranny, axles, ecu, HASport linkage, HASport mounts and it ended up $2300-ish shipped. we looked around forever...they were the cheapest. if you break it all down, we ended up paying $500 for the block it's self. he has a deal with HASport as well.

your best bet is to save and buy it all at once.....at the very least buy the block + tranny together.
