Hi,

How long ago did the engine conversion take place and is there any paperwork relating to the engine rebuild, please?

Also, the dyno print out photographed in the listing suggests the car was turbo converted at one point in time. Do you have any details relating to this please?

Thanks.

There are a number of receipts relating to parts purchased to complete the B18 engine build.

Obviously the current engine is not turbo charged so the dyno print relates to a previous iteration, it does however form part of the cars history which based on owners group research has always been enthusiast owned.

Is the original motor available with the sale ? The b16b?

[paule78]

No the original engine is not available.

My understanding is that the engines are not matching numbers to the chassis so the car could be put back to standard if a more OE car was wanted, though I feel this period correct engine swap holds more appeal.

[joshbaker1991]

Ok thank you. Do you know the mileage on the b18 before it went in the ek9? Still registered as a 1600?

The motor was refreshed before fitting ... there are supporting invoices for parts used in this.

Based on the MOT history it looks to have covered I think 1900 miles since the build.

The previous owner to myself bought the car as an investment so had it appraised for condition and then spent a further £2700 on small items before it went in to long term storage .. madness
