Vtec engine conversion from a GL (carby)?

[kiss]

hey guys, you know any places in sydney that do engine conversions from a GL carby, to a vtec? how much would it be? whats the cheapest around..=/ for a reasonable price atleast?

thanks

looking at around 5000 to 7000+ but it all depends on what engine you want and make sure you upgrade your brakes.

[kiss]

holy shit i aint got that kinda money >.< might as well buy a new car

lets say just a vtec from a 92 model or something.. how much would you say it is just for a vtec engine? if its too much, how about a fuel injected GLi?

I think the B18C goes for around the $3000-$3500 good luck finding one though there so rare. Im having trouble finding one for myself

[Chi]

b18c's are easy to find, i saw them at my local supermarket for $29.99

[Eclipsor]

do a search. waymad did a convesion to a 1.5L vtec for about $1000. Doing the work himself.

hrm good preformance center is dooing my d16a8 convershon cost around 3k :) with new brakes and surge tank also need new wireing and rerson it cost so much to poot a b16 in a gl is cos the engin mounts dont fit it.... u need 2 get custom ones made

[bennjamin]

yep - as Jeff said above - try Good performance centre in Yenorra.

Cjarlie WILL do the job..but since you need alot of new stuff it will cost $$$.

unless you get a JDM spec b16a2 from a Civic SIR..
Then the mounts are there for you to pick off

i guess first of all you need to decide what engine you want
i spoke to Honworld (wrecker in melbourne) about a week ago and he informed me that he is getting a container with half cut eg6 siRs and heaps of parts
maybe it would be a good place to start
being a carbie car you will have to do the entire fuel system also where in an injected model it has the appropriate fuel system

that wog dude at hondworld says alot of things.....

[garett]

oh ok then
is that whats he is like
ill keep that in mind :)

[mojo the flashy monkey]

how much did it cost u tho? and what car did u poot it in?

[tRipitaka]

Ahh, I may be lucky with the engine..
But according to pornstar, it costed me too much..
Plus alot of problems with it..

Put it in my EG Sedan...

EDIT:
pornstar: "i could have put a turbo in your car for that much"

.. if that gives u an idea ;)

[mojo the flashy monkey]

umm man alot of engins fit in EG's but hardly any fit in 2 a GL lest for the moddles 88-91 without alot of change. ur car is total diff in the engin bay area ..... =/ or am i mistaken

[tRipitaka]

Mine used to be a GL..
I'm not sure, but I don't think kiss specified what model GL..
