Call me ignorant.. but.. (B series engines)

[Expiredsoda]

Why are Honda B series engines still so much god damned money? Ok I remember in 2000 when it was the tits to have a B16 in your EG, and you paid 3g's for it ect ect... but man, has the demand not died down enough yet? I'm looking at a B18C1 for my daily and it's still over 3 grand with everything, but a 2JZ-GTE/SR20 is under 2500 (and obv should be more in demand now with all the JDM stuff here)... What gives?

wow i better get a 2jz for my honda, where did u find it?

Supply and demand. Those who have them don't want to give them up.

Respect the '87

From what I understand the B18C1 was only in production for 6 years and limited to the integra compared to the 17 years the 2jz has been in production and still is, hence why its cheaper.

I guess Honda's simply hold their value :D
and I guess they simply are just better :poosie:

You get what you pay for.

I'd rather be running a 2001 Honda GSR motor, than some 1989 JDM Nissan bullshit. OP is ignorant for comparing the two. Honda reliability is second to none when it comes to engine swaps. Besides, $3k is cheap.
Try owning something else.
Blow a motor on any Subaru and see if you can fix it with one credit card swipe.
