I have 2 questions! About B12 tachometer's and the E16ET

MomoB12 · Nov 20th, 2003, 07:03 PM

Ok... Well I was looking around and found some guides on how to do the cluster swap so I could have a tachometer on my own B12.
Q1: The cluster on the B12 sport coupé.. It's the same isn't it? So I would be able to get that cluster and use it so I can have my cool tachometer.. wouldn't I?

And question number 2:
I was browsing my User Manual for my Mexican B12, which also has information for the sport coupé, and.... It's says under engine specs that the sport coupé sports the E16ET. Isn't this supposed to be some rare JDM engine or something like that?

Thanks guys

(And yes, I already did search, but I didn't find what I was looking for.. maybe I suck at searching..)
EDIT: I do suck at searching. I just jumped over to the E/CA series forum and found my answer to the tach question...

If so, it would have to have a shortened stroke and enlarged bore because the standard E16 has like 9.2:1 compression which is way too high for turbo. I suppose it could just be a E15 with a modified head and bigger bores.

Here are the E16ET specs in the manual:

SOHC, L4
1597cc
Diametro de carrera de piston: (I dunno what's this in english): 76x88
8.3:1 compression
Torque 15.7kg-m/2800rpm
HP 106/5200rpm
And distributor degrees before the PMS: 15º +-2º

same bore and stroke..so its got a bigger combustion chamber and/or smaller pistons. And how come US never gets the good stuff like that?

Wow, if we could get hooked up with parts from that engine it would answer about 99% of forum newbs first question....How do I get more power out of my E16?

Yeah it does suck. They don't sell anything good and everything is way overpriced. It's like people don't have a good idea about what an auction is :P

Yes, the cluster from the coup will work.
My coup sports an e16i.

I hope you like wire spaghetti!!

It's really not too bad if you take it slow and have patience, because it will take a good amount of time.
