b18c1/c5 or b16a1?
I have a 92 civic hatchback DX (yea yea i kno, DX sux). Anyway, I plan to swap the engine. Now, my options/choices are; Supercharged b16a1, supercharged b18c1, or all motor fully build b18c5 (type r). What are your guys' opinions? Thanks

Re: b18c1/c5 or b16a1?
1.) be thankful its a DX. mines a CX.
2.) all motor, its how its supposed to be, and you'll get more respect. 3.) if you are swapping the engine anyway, you should be glad to have a DX..lighter than an Si. Quote:

i think you should go with the b16a. but you would have to get the b16a2 cuz the b16a1 is from 88-91 i believe and putting an older engine in your car is illegal i've heard. plush the b16 is beautiful and they sound like gods with cams in them. they supply a good bang and they are 1000 dollars cheaper than the b18c.

that is true the b16 sound nice already but if you have the mo man get you a b18c5 or heck! get you a b20 with a b18c5 head now that bad ass!!! sorry i love my b20 so becuz im my head whyi dunno i guess in my mind i think what the point with a 1.6L or a 1.8L when you can have a 2.0L and mix it with a 1.8L head lol but that for N/A only tho but if you a Turbo - Freak go with the Lower COMP ratio but if you what High Rev i recommend b20 ... hahha

WHAT?! I do not think a word of that made any sense! Anywho, if you have enough money to swap a type R, do it. Quote:

I say B16A, and yes the cams do make a difference in sound.

if you want to be unique get the b16b. those motors are wwwwaaaaaaaaaay expensive. but you will kick major ass. but you will kick major ass if you use the money that you were gonna use to swap a b18c5 and soop up a b16a. especially if it is a jdm b16a2. i think you'll be faster that way.

this is a no brainer B18C5 for sure. then bore it out to a 2.0L and get some new cams.
