So this conversion thread can turn an EJ6 into an EK9 replica.. and still perform like an EK9 ? Handling, etc.
i think so, you can always modify any car to be better, if you follow this guide your ej6 will resemble a stock ek9, if you take my advice and upgrade some parts instead of buying oem it will be better:
like if you opt for the ITR engine instead
or get coilovers instead of the stock ek9 shock/springs
Great thread! Im planning on getting itr engine instead of the ctr...any suggestions, thoughts?
Thanksssss! ^_^. Haha. Since you have done the conversion but with a b16b how did your car handle?
I'm fairly sure the ek9 and other ek side skirts are the same, they just have to be paint matched.
In the US you will need an ek9 dash with the large vent right on the top middle. All ek9 interior panels are black, other ek's have a dark or light grey interior panels. For a conversion you can either switch to ek9 panels, or dye yours black.
You will also need the ek9 blue colored fuse box cover, in the engine bay.
An ek9 cigarette lighter panel is also different from a US spec one.
A red stiching shift boot is also needed.
does the ek9 have a elbow rest in the middle?
You know what, I'm not even sure that the ek9 had a red stitch boot, maybe it does but maybe its just something that was stuck in my head.
Could the real ek9 owners with both regular and type Rx ek9's chime in on this? Here we are 2 US guys making a spec sheet on car's we don't own
oh and ctr has 4 globes on their rear cluster, ek4 has only 3.
wussp guys!!
i got a ek myself...
you guy talk about ej and ek,,,but.. u.s.d.m and on the papers n body i says..body type..ek..so what up with that??
anyways....i did the SI conversion on mine..its runs ok im happy with it
what i was wondering is. how much you guys pay to get a type r ek to the states??
how much do the japs sell the type r over seas....being aware that it is old car over there!
i was planing to do the right hand drive conversion but i duno if should just sell my car and buy a jap one!!
let me know ok? i need to do some estimates
theres sum pix of my car if you guys wanna check out..
peace....
Another difference is preface lifted models have orange rear indicators where as new model has clear, oh and ctr has 4 globes on their rear cluster, ek4 has only 3.
unless you drive on the left side of the street i dont believe in rhd conversions.
