Where can I get a b18c5 or a b18c-r.

Has anyone ever dealt with lucky star, they are asking for $6000 for a b18c-r and $7000 installed, comes with engine, tranny, and ecu, and wiring no axles.
What about altech do they sell just engines. I can get it installed for free off a buddy.

What’s a good reasonable price for a b18c-r.

Thanks

 

$6000-7000 is normal... you'd be better to get a b18c1 and spend the extra cash on mods... you'll get more from that

 

If that price is for a 98-spec B18CR, then go for it. IMO, the extra money for the 98-spec is worth it just for the tranny alone.

 

what so special about the 98 spec?

 

Yeah its a 98 spec with only 35 - 40,000 km's on it.

Thanks

 

Some one correct me if i'm wrong. but the 98 spec has 210 hp and the 96 spec has 200 hp

 

the b18c-r had 197 hp

the b18c5 had 195 hp

 

anyone know what the difference from HP and BHP

it said 210BHP

while most sites says 197 HP or 200 Hp for b18cr

 

it may have been 210 ps... which is metric for hp.... they use it in japan.... and is slightly higher then hp.... same actually amount of power just a different system to measure it....

 

most sites aren't accurate either.... the best thing to check for pwoer number is gran turismo 3.... tons of cars and everything is accurate

 

lol

my friend has my GT3 and has not returned it for almost a year.

thanks for the info

 

What ever you do, DO NOT go to Lucky Star. There was a thread a while ago on Lucky Star...., nothing but bad experiences. just my .02

 

that sucks... i loaned out my gt1 and never saw it again

but ya jdm type r is 197hp and the usdm type r is 195... just a little less compression and i think slightly less agressive cams... not to sure though... through some ctr cams in the b18c5 and you'll gain a big of power too

 

I've had GT3 since I bought PS2, and I'm still hooked on it. I can't wait until GT4 comes out later this year.

 

yeah i know what u mean, i'm waiting for GT4 and Initial D game to come out.

 

me too... i still play a bit of gt3 everynow and then... have you tried running the complex string?? whats your fastest time?

 

honestly, I think the difference between the 2hp from some models is the grade of gas that is used?

japan have WAY better fuel than we do here in the us/cnda

this means advanced timing = more power =)

 

i know for sure the jdm motor have higher compression... only by like .2 but its enough for 2 hp and a few ft*lbs of torque

 

No haven't really raced on complex string, it gets too bouring. My favorite is Appricot Hill & the Monte Carlo. What's everyones favorite car? For kicks I love driving the Civic SI stock.

 

my favourite car is either the 787b or the mitsu fto race car... i like trail mountain reverse... it was from the very first GT and i always liked it...

to just make races easy then the f1 cars are unbeatable

the complex string is the only hard course really in the game.... my fastest time on that course was i think 4:05 roughly
