for the time and effort required to fit this engine @ 197.3 bhp, not worth it imo. just get a chip from rob.

Its not a standard engine.. Skunk2 inlet, alot of headwork, skunk2 cams, spoon ECU all mapped up, fully rebuilt gearbox with carbon syncros and completely different gear ratios, tops out at 140. revs to 9k, its a racing engine producing around 240bhp.

I think that move would qualify for ban of the month.
1.6 litres of naturally aspirated torque. Qurrrrrrr blimey. Feel the pull.
After you have fitted new driveshafts, custom engine moiunts etc etc etc for less power than a H22 with all the money spent on it that you put into the b16. Its a step backwards.

Its a B18 ratty out of a JDM teg import, 1800CC and NOT standard.

Something tells me a B18c is a 1.8 Ratty

Doh, too slow

And Sam's even slower!

1.6? 1.8 you mean?

1.4T prelude with a engine known for having no torque and all it's power up the top, I'd avoid. If you were to put it in a crx or civic then that would be a different story

Its coming out of an ek9 race base. Just wanted some views on it. Probably go ahead and tune my h22. Be simpler.
