My friend has a 213bhp JDM b18c swap he is selling, thinks its £2500ono for absolutely everything to B swap a D series Honda.
213bhp/141lbs/ft mapped by Henry Roy!
By far the best bang for buck. Pm for more info.
£2500 thrown at a Starlet will give you more power than that. Bang for buck IMO they win hands down. They have huge tuning potential for there size.
Oh and for reliability, they can be just as good if done right and maintained. My bros td04 Starlet never broke down in over 5 years running 250+ hp. If it did, it was never mechanical, just old electrics.
Thing about Starlets, the torque/power delivery make them feel very powerful. Honda's haven't much torque and don't feel particularly powerful but you still watch that speedo climb! TD04 Starlet will be definitely faster in a straight line, but that's where the advantages end IMO.
Sell the b16b for £££ buy a b18c4+turbo= 300whp easily, win at life lol.
Lol hi, starlet is at 1.1 bar external gate, front exit etc i could probably swap a b18c4 and box plus the turbo bits for the b16b and s80 box etc, il have to get cal to see
Ek9 has s4c box, not s80.
As standar anyway, s80 is longer and a downgrade
