ok yeah the ls has a better comp ratio, but it has the worst rod ratio ever, you have to worry about breaking rods and the cylinder walls.

with the b16 you do have to worry about comp ratio, but you dont have to worry as much about breaking a rod or putting a piston through the cylinder walls.

if your running 11psi then you should build your block anyways, so if you buy aftermarket pistons, just order lower comp pistons and its all good. the #1 failure with ls's from what i hear is them breaking rods, i never really heard anything bad with the b16

how bout the b18a in my 90 Integra?
Anybody have any turbo experiences with this motor?
Would this be a good motor to turbo?
Any ideas on a price for a kit?


TIA

Re: Found a B18, non-vtec, worth it or not?

just bought a b18b for 850$ with 30K on it, its a good strong motor. Good for boost cause low compression
