B8 Head on BP Block

BGSP · 26-02-2010, 09:36 PM

Is it possible to place a B8 Head on to a BG SP BP block without any major modifications?

Any help would be great

B8 and BP engines share the same block.

Cool, would there be a significant power boost if I did this?

project.r.racing · 26-02-2010, 10:55 PM

the opposite - B8 = less power.

I read something somewhere that there was a B8 engine that was pulling out 168 BHP, so I thought I might get more power

B8 has less power standard than a BP engine.

isnt a b8 a SOHC?? y would u deevolve ur car?

I've been doing research, the only reason I want a SOHC is temporary cause my DOHC head is cracked

project.r.racing · 09-04-2010, 05:55 PM

so buy a dohc head then.

Too hard to find

project.r.racing · 09-04-2010, 07:04 PM

not looking hard enough?

any wrecker will have 1 or more Astina/Protege/Laser with a BP in it, or least removed sitting around.

or they can get it from interstate if you ask.

Yeah I guess so, I need a whole engine though, I pulled the head off and found a crack in my block =/

70NYD · 09-04-2010, 10:14 PM

so then how is the SOHC head gonna help the cracked block?? if ur gonna reco another engine, project.R.racing has one for sale have a look in his for sale thread for very cheap (seeing how ud reco it

)

It's not going to help now, I only took the block off yesterday, it's annoying me now, but I am going to fix it.
