Hi All
I’m looking at rebuilding my engine in the winter and am looking for some advice.
rather than simply changing gaskets, seals, belt, pumps etc, I’m considering doing some upgrades.
I’m not looking for super power and trying to keep it some what original so I’m not looking to go K even though it seems more bang for buck. I’d also like to keep my original stamps and it looks like the price of b18cs are on the rise, as with the rest of the old Honda gear.
I’m considering flipping out the crank with a b18crank, rods and pistons. Looks like OEM can still be bought from amayama?
Has anyone done this and has some advice or recommendations ?
Also, re pistons, could I use either the b16b or b18c pistons and what are the pros / cons ?
Then re ecu, how would the standard one work or best to go for an aftermarket with simple map ?
ive done plenty but struggling to find the right current advice.
Thanks all
