[cormy]

No, you can buy the spoon stroker kit for 1100 $ and you get a B18C for less

exactly! unless your getting the b18c for VERY cheap AND you sell your b16b for a good price.

 

[rvm]

I doubt that someone can get a B18C for less than 1100 $

 

[blinx9900]

well even if he gets it for 2000 its still a deal because he could sell his b16b for the same price so the b18c would be free

Not in the uk/ireland you cant rvm they more like £1200-£1500 (around $2000-$2400) for a b18c6 teg engine not including the transmission. they are HIGHLY sort after over here mate it probs be cheaper to get the stroker kit but you'll need the teg ecu

cause some people want torque at low revs, i personally LOVE the on/off nature of the b16b powerband

 

[cormy]

i raced a dc2 last nite and it bet me by a carr lengths and i've a fare bits done to my car now and its lightened quite a bit and thats why i'm puttin the b18c into mine, better power to weight ratio!!
