- Tue Mar 13, 2012 8:38 am #298026 Haven't done much really, got a new job but the pay isn't too good.

Bought this AUDM B18C2 block for $300 with only 220,000kms on it, going to rebuild it with Type R pistons, so hopefully it will pump out similar numbers to a B18C7 or maybe more, I don't have many options on a stand alone ECU so i'll just run it on a type r map on a phearable ecu.

According to wiki, the JDM B18C pumps out 147kw (197hp) Can't wait to put this puppy in!

I'm pretty lucky finding this block, seeing that you can only find it in AUS/NZ and even here it's hard to find, kind of a rare gem xD

I only have 2 options for a gearbox, an LS gearbox or a b16 gearbox? What should I use?

nice pick up on the block btw! gsr ftw :D

Can't you use the throttle cable from an EK or something and it won't go around your whole bay? I think I saw something like that on here before. Haha

P.s. Let's play some BF3. I just got premium :thumb:

Not too sure but all RHD Hondas have the cable that loops around the whole engine, but might get a shorter one.

Dougie, you're suppose to buy MW3 not BF3 Premium!

- Tue Oct 16, 2012 12:13 pm #318021 Lately been working flat. Bought this mint Integra DA with only 180,000kms for $300 of this stoner kid, the way I found it was in a ditch, he said he was in a police chase and left the car there.
It has a Spoon strut bar and Feels intake which is quite rare to find these days

- Going to be doing a rear disc brake rebuild/swap, adding DBA drilled and slotted discs
- 13mm rear sway bar, and other bolts and pieces from the engine

I'm practically just pulling the engine out, using what I need then sell the shell or scrap it for easy cash

Image

Slow and low KMs B18A! Notice the Feels intake arm on the left.

Spoon!!
Image

Been finding some cheap spare parts lately
Image

Added a Spoon wing!
Image

Found a standard exhaust from a Holden Commodore all the way out in the bush. Going to use the 2.25 flange and remake my exhaust with either a Spoon street muffler or oem ITR muffler
Image

Currently my new engine is being built at the moment, should be picking it up next week, my future set up will consist of

B18C2 block
PR3 pistons
P72 rods, crank and flywheel (all balanced)
B16A head (to port and polish, that is the question)
Skunk2 Stage 1 cams/springs, maybe retainers.

I have about 3 spare sets of rims now, so might do some track days in Sydney, can't wait :D
