Today i helped my friend to hunt for a engine kosong for his civic ek because he blew his k20a vtec. So we went to sp halfcut shops to have a look.
So many k20 engine i tell u. So many K20a type S engine..over 5 units engine lantai. And 2 type R. K20A type S is above 5k for halfcut. Type R, around 17k for halfcut dc5 type r. The engine lantai were all stack up high, but i did take a picture of some that were on the ground.


While looking around I found a gem, a nissan primera p12, with a sr20ve 20v engine and 6mt transmission just sitting there...really rarely seen. But a lot of job need to be done to transfer this engine and transmission into our local nissan cars. Rm6.5k for the halfcut.



Anyway, my friend has chosen a k20a type S engine kosong for 2k. Looks mint too. No burnt oil smell, no oil sign around the seals.

Then cannot register, because the roadtax will kill him lol.

Gt planet auto parts. Here has a lot a lot of engine lantai and engine kosong. Stack up high high.

Another place is pro-multi auto, this one more halfcut. Better buy halfcut if making new conversion.

Do not challenge god myvi. Even i give way if i see a speeding myvi lol

If same car model then yes, plug and play. Or can just buy engine lantai or engine kosong to save costs. Halfcut usually they buy if model not same. Like putting a k20a integra type r engine into our local civic. Halfcut and engine lantai they can test start for u. Engine kosong no since only the engine no other parts attached to it anymore.

Haha i did state it was in sp in my first post lol

The sr16ve n1 faster than b16b type R. 185hp vs 197hp is no joke. Maybe u mistaken for the regular sr16ve, 175hp?
Anyway depend on what car u put in. Weight plays a big role. If eg two door with b16b type r vs nissan n16 with sr16ve n1, then yes probably the b16b type r will win.

Yes this one super rare. Also super expensive. Like 2.5x more expensive than the rare sr20ve 20v. That is if you can find it.

No issue la. Here mechanic apa pun boleh.

I posted earlier. Its at sungai petani btw

Yup got. Halfcut ada, engine lantai also ada. Didnt ask them the price though.

Almera i think not so much since the car still new. N16 and below many mods their engine with sr20/sr16ve/det/de

Spoon engine also lost in acceleration to the N1. Clearly can see the spoon engine gain upper hand only when climbing hill due to the modded spoon gearbox.

If stock to stock, n1 engine still the best there is. But only 300 units available lol

Well, car hobby is expensive. Anyway i am doing full overhaul of my sr20ve 20v engine now. Underway, including change water pump, belts, gaskets, rings, rebuild clutch, etc. Around 3k. Finalized bill to be out soon.

P12 revv till 8500 and compression is higher at 11:1
So i think a bit risky to put in n1 cams. Anyway will dyno after run in the engine. And i rather buy standalone compare to buy n1 cams. So expensive lol

Haha i teman my dad at sp during weekends and take care my shop do maintenance and stuff ma. If so far cannot for me since i got other things to do also.

Engine lantai is an engine with all other auxiliaries parts attached. Such as the starter, spark plug cables, alternater, wiring, ecu, etc. Basically if u add petrol, this engine can start in order to test it.

Engine kosong is just the engine with nothing attached and the cheapest option. But cannot test before buying. Usually when people wanted to change the same engine back into their car due to engine failure, they would buy engine kosong since all the other parts are already at his car.

Haha i didnt port it. Just polish nia. Prefer stock. And i also prefer na engine. Likes it when my engine screems longer at each gear lol.

If i want play turbo, i would pick the 4g63t to play already since i dont want go more than 2.0L. also i am using this car as daily, so another reason play na.
