My 9

[PADDYEK9]

Been on here ages but never posted pics so here they are.Its my 3rd ek9.I had a standard b16b pre-facelift then bought a stroked b16b facelift ek9 which i then sold to leek9 on here.Then i imported my 3rd one which was a b16b turbo,which i soon took out for another b18 because i way prefered the b18.
SPEC:
-00 ITRx b18c with just over 60000km
-s4c gearbox
-SPOON ecu
-5zigen 4-2-1
-Custom mid-pipe mith a 5zigen axle back
-Exedy clutch & fidanza flywheel
-PWJDM Kevlar intake
-Few carbon bits
-Have lowering springs but havent but them in yet.
Let me know what ye think.Its been in hibernation for the last 4 months so its not very clean in the pics.Also im thinking about going k20 soon so if anyone is interested in buying a MINT B18c let me know.
Also would like to thanks VTECH6000 on here for all his help in locating the engine & carrying out the swap.Sound man.

hows john, u dumped the b pipe so? thats my old backbox il take the b18 if your actually selling up! (il need a test off it 1st tho lol)
its very similar lookin to my car now!
well wear lad!

Very nice indeed mate. What made you revert back to the b18c from the b16b turbo?
How did both setups compare to each other out on the road?

I took out all the baffles from the b-pipe.It was a very restrictive mid-pipe.Il know in about a week or 2 for sure whether im selling the b18.You can have a test drive anyway no bother.

I know.I got the idea into my head & about a week ago.Im just trying to work out how much it will cost.

I just prefer the b18 really.Kinda more fun if that makes any sense.On the road the b16 turbo was grand.It was an animal on juice though & a twin plate clutch is defo a no no for an everyday driver.Other than that it was great.You cant beat the b18 though(Maybe k20).

fine looking 9!

Thanks man.

Nice car this. And a very fresh engine was only 35k on it I believe at time of fitting.

thats the exact same exhaust i have padder lol

only bit i kept was the last piece with the back box on and replaced the two mid pipe section with straight pipe

not a fan of carbon lips but looks like a nice 9

plenty of poke too id imagine

Nice EK9!

Why go to the k20 engine?
Your b18c will make even power with some add-on's! Plus the money you will have to spent on putting in a k20.....you can also spent on making your b18 a lot faster!

Just my 2ct

Was it only 35k.I dunno wot i was thinking so because i havent even put 10000km on it which means theres still not even 50000km on it.Thanks again for the engine & work.

Ya i had to take out the baffles,really ruined how the car drove.Ya,its plenty quick but i wouldnt mind a k20 tbh.

Nice EK9!

I thought about building the b18 as well but i went against it.Might as well go k20 for the money.

Yep that's all that was on it. I remember when checking the valve clearances how clean everything was not abit of wear on the rocker arms or cam lobes. Made high numbers and equal across the board when I done the compression test, you would know to look at it and how well it pulls that it's a very low miles engine even the original t.belt I removed to fit new one could have been packaged up and sold again it looked so new lol.
