hope someone can help.. :)

Well B18c is the engine for the integra gsr it is a 1.8l engine and it will bolt directly into your car with little if any modifications. The B16a is a 1.6l engine that came in Honda Civic SI and it will bolt directly in as well. The H22a is a prelude engine. They have kits to make this bolt in but personally I think this isn't the best choice since it's a little on the heavy side you will probably have to do something to the suspension due to the excess weight. Thats all I can think of.

Oh yeah a1 and a2 for the B16 is basically first generation and 2nd generation engines.

I was about to get a b18c for my civic but I have a second project I'm thinking about starting so I abandon that idea. I think it's a little better than b16 since it's a larger engine but the b18 is expensive while the b16 is cheap. Well wish you best of luck.

:D belive it or not that helped a LOT!! thanks! now the only question is .. Where do i get it?... i know that i dont want a crate engine so my search is pointed to finding just a block.. no heads, cams, pistons nothing.. hehe im in for a search i think.. if you think of any place that i can order one.. let me know .. thanks for the advice! :)

oh good. Well try ebay. I don't know if u like that but I would buy it off ebay if I wanted one. They sell a lot of blocks or whole engines. If u want relaible dealers that sell engines then ask me later. like in the search type in b16a or b18c or something

Or try a local junkyard, they may have a motor you can buy...

if you wanna build a totally bulletproof block then i say buy a built block from jg. i am pretty sure they sell short blocks, all decked and balanced and blueprinted. or you can just buy a complete block which will be cheaper in the long run, and it cna handle 30 psi of boost.

where online can i get a jg block?
