- Fri Mar 19, 2010 10:25 pm #182380 make a review after you get the motor.....




hmotors seems to be the only one that people guarantee is reliable for having an engine shipped. I've heard horror stories about others. I happen to have a quite large importer right in town (japan engines inc) no shipping makes things a lot easier!

- Fri Mar 19, 2010 10:29 pm #182382 yeah true, that might be quite a while away yet though :(

didn't think of that either, will have to explore it more to see if it's legit :P

- Fri Mar 19, 2010 10:55 pm #182388 i wouldn't even waste my time with a B16....



my stock LS w/ bolt-ons has yet to get beat by a stock B16 in ANYTHING. including a gutted hatch with a LEGIT B16B CTR motor...


just my opinion 8)

(top video was after the engine was fitted and the bottom one was after the Mfactory cross gear kit was fitted. the knocking is from the spoon lsd which had the wrong grade oil in it)
the only down side to the b is the price over a b16a. you could do a b18c4 quite cheap :)

- Sat Mar 20, 2010 12:25 am #182398 stay away from osaka japan i bought a 92-95 sir2 motor and got a ek b16a. its a jdm motor with the s4c trans but wrong year motor so i had all kinds of problem with wiring due to the obd2 injectors, alternator, intake manifold, and iat sensor. they were suppose to give me a wiring harness with the motor but i never got it so stay away from them btw a ls motor is only good for torque thats why ppl put on vtec heads on them to get more power
