what's better for swap B16b, B18c1, B18c5
ok, i'm gonna buy a 92-95 body hatchback. i was wondering what would be the better swap a b16a is too weak for me. the b18c1 gsr engine is good but would the b16b the Civic type R engine better. i know that it costs a grip more. the integra type R engine is tight but what's with that whole not being able to drop a turbocharger on it or it will explode? are all of these engines unturbochargeable?

YOu can run low boost on all those motors.
Go for the B18C5 that motor rocks.

putting a turbo isnt that good because of the high compression it has. it is possible though to do

i heard that you could lower the compression ratio and then it would be safer but to not put a turbo without doing so. i want BIG power. wouldn't running low boost make it sorrier than just supercharging it?

and i also heard that the integra type r engine is hard to fix up. the gsr has a grip of motor parts.

really i want to go with forced induction. i really like turbo blow off valves. supercharging is cool too. but i'm not really interested in going all motor. i want to be really fast ok...... to put it short and sweet. but i don't want my car to be all funky and have a wierd ass power curve or anything
