In real life the B18 is 10mm taller, and has a differnt intake and exhaust.
Otherwise the engines are visably very similar.

True, I would like to add to this, the b16 can easily be converted to a b18 by changing the rods,pistons, and crank, which are not visable, the head is different too but you cant tell the difference by looking at it from outside, and the revell itr with the type r engine also has a type r maniford, which cant be bolted directly to a civic's b16 but a company called skunk2 makes a manifold that bolts to the b16, that is very identicle to the type r one, as a matter of fact, it's the same mainifold exept the bolt pattern, so if have that revell itr engine in a civic, consider it modified! BUt if you want it to look real, paint the manifold flat alluminum because the manifold in the kit comes chrome.
