I have just found that there are a lot of experienced Honda owners here, so I am asking for your help. I am on they way of swapping my old D to some newer B :)
I have a proposal from my friend from our local Honda community.
His friend is selling B18C6 (from UKDM Integra as I understand).

The engine is not stock and had following setup:
Compression ratio: 11.6
Engine bearings ACL racing
CTR forged pistons
Eagle forged connecting rod
Lightened valves and springs (15% lighter than stock B18c6)
S80 Gearbox with 4.9 main (was 4.7 stock changed to 4.9 )
Also lightened flywheel.

It has 100K km stock mileage and near 30K on a new setup.
It was not boosted or so. Just wanted to know what do you think about this changes.
How they will perform in a long run, as I am not going to boost it, and using it for mostly daily city drive, sometimes want drive fast :) What do I have to ask him about, maybe.
They are telling that engine is in great shape, but I want to know your opinion, as my knowledge in that sphere is poor.

Sorry for possible mistakes,
Kindest Regards,
Dmitry
 
Maybe I put too much info, any opinions?
Regarding this part compared to stock, are they reliable enough?
 
The spec of the engine seems nice as a mild upgrade rebuild, I'm assuming there were new valve stem seals used in the head too and new piston rings too?
Looks like would make nice daily driver though the 4.9 final drive can be a bit much on motorway cruising due to the higher revs at circa 70mph/120kmh cruising speed.

Oh, thanks for you comments.
I am always driving in town, not planning to go on motorway.
So you think it would be better to ask him about steam seals and piston rings?
What do you think about installed parts, are those brands good?
:thanks:
 
Yup the parts are good brands that you Have mentioned, would be worth asking about the valve stem seals and piston rings. Also any receipts for the work done :D

I just wanted to be sure that thos parts are ok for non-turbo drive. As I have heared that thos Eagle forged is not to good on hight rmp's, maybe it's just :blabla:
