whats it worth b18c

VTCN IT · 29th July 2007, 02:23 PM

hey guys i have a performance b18c ls/vtec 0BD2 engine i am trying to sell at the moment and just wondering what you guys think its worth.
it is a rebuilt b18b block and b18c cylinder head.
25,000kms ago i had the block rebuilt with 0.25mm oversized integra type r pistons,rings and bearings.all gaskets and seals int he bottom end and the head were replaced at the rebuild including a type r head gasket etc.cylinder head has had $600 worth of port and polish work.it has new ngk iridium plugs and 8mm performance spark leads.also had a new gates cambelt @ the rebuilda and replaced the wtare pump.it was like over 2500 to rebuild the bottom end incl gaskets and stuff.
i know you don't get back anything like what you spent on an engine but just wondering what you guys think the bare engine is worth??

nah thats what it was.i know its like only a standard time but they ecu was on a base tune of 95kw to run in the engine after the rebuild

Well for starters I'd not even mention that you ran the 15.5, regardless if it was on a run in tune...those kinda numbers would just scare people off

I mean, my fairly standard b18c is faster than that

done 14.4 in a standard b18c with no airbox 15.5 is a d-series time

As above - it was being run in. It'll have a lot more potential in it.

bare long block with no manifolds around $1250....

It won't be making much power at all with Standard B18C cams.....

Compression will be a bit higher with the type R pistons but thats really about it.

I am not sure why you would have raced it if it was still running in - running in means running in - not racing in.

Aside from a motor loosening up slightly there isn't really any difference between the power it makes then and what it makes now.

yeah it was a base tune so still more power to come.i raced it because it had been run in but just hadnt been retuned.and yeah the headwork isn;t as effective without cams.i have a set of brand new billet steel cams with 300degree intake and 285 degree exhaust lift on them that i was going to chuck in but then i have to find someone who wants to pay that sort of money for an engine
