B18C6/ B18C4 crankshaft compatibility?

[dc2paul]

Hey all! I'm new on here, was hoping someone could help me. Iv got a 98' spec ukdm dc2 type-r, i had a big end go and unfortunately it took the crank with it !

Long story short, lol! would a crank from a B18C4 be a direct replacement for my B18C6 one? as my mate thinks he has one sitting around.

It will physically fit, but the counterweights aren't as big, so you won't be able to rev that crank as high as a Type R one.

Thanks a lot man! I think il go for it for the time being, at least until i save money for a new O.E unit!
