B16A or B18C

[jdm_spec]

i dont think people are getting the point of this forum....this isnt about ls/vtec...or sr20s....its just nice and simply...."B16A or a B18C" thats it....just those two...ok.........and for 8gs...im not going to "buy another car"....for a whole car build up... 8gs aint much....rims w/tires is already close to 2 grand....a engine...2 or so grand....coilovers...a good grand or so.....ext...intake..headers...ecu... with 8 grand to build up the engine and susp. i think it goes by pretty quick......

so....lets start over again......

I just purchased a 1994 EG6 hatch. I'm planning on a engine swap soon. The weapons of choice: either a B16A or B18C. Which of the two is "overall" the "better bang for your buck" engine??? Meaning, gives you the better response, acceleration, and price. To make this more interesting, I'm willing to spend a maximum of $8,000 for the engine including parts.

You can buy running awd SVX's for $1,500-$4,000.. use the rest of your budget on a turbo kit and other mods

Well no shit sherlock...good catch on that one

And if you're going to get Ace to help you, dont' talk shit about the LS/VTEC or you'll be on the shit list for a while...


and you got your answer....the B18C1 is the better of the two if you can afford it.....

[superbluecivicsi]

get what you can afford. either the b16 or b18c1 will be good for boost. do your research

Let me ask you somthing mr single cam wonder?

have you had a b16? Have you had a GSR? Have you had a lsvtec?
NO SO SHUT THE FUCK UP.

c1s cost alot and are worth it. They are great just little overpriced.
My lsvtec cost less makes more power and was brand new unlike my 30K mile GSR.

You wanted some help and then try to tell ME stuff about hondas? how about take your 14 WHP car and drive into a lake.

Wow.

You do know AF doesn't edit or is your typing that skewed? Let me display. Cock balls fuck.

My lsvtec is closing on her 1st birthday running like a champ. I dont own a shop or, work in the "import scene". I make alot more money doing what I do now then sending 17 year olds to die after welding on a APEXI n1 can to the 1989 honda civic daddy bought them *see you*

Face it your the one driving around in a crap stock car and I'm the one happy with his "time bomb". You've yet to even try to make up a good reason why lsvtec isn't a good idea. You just bash pointlessly because you have no good reasons, no facts, no proof.

Mine was built and tuned well thats the key when a knuckle dragging moron like your self JBwelds a XSI teg head to a b18b block and takes it to 9500RPM stock it'll blow. Is that why Mr. Pissy Pants JDM ness hates lsvtecs so much?

As I said before you know nothing and will keep being a slow stupid ricer.

edit: if you really had a REAL EG you'd already have a b16 GG fuckwit!

as for the engine itself...like yeah...me personally..the B18C is the better bang for the buck....its a hell lot cheaper......but i just want peoples input of the two.......for me...i want to stroke them to a 2.0 displacement....then turbo it out....i just dont want to turbo it first....me i think thats just stupid......i want my internals to be able to handle the boost....and with the eagle stroker kit....they come with je pistons....connecting rods, etc.....so my internals are ok....like...yeah.... when the B16A is stroked to a 2.0...damn...thats a big difference.... and with then B18C stroked to a 2.0.....its good....but not as the B16A.....and since the bore and stroke are different from the two... wouldnt that make the B16A have an overall more torque than the B18C?????.....yeah..of course....its like 50/50...this is how i see it.... when starting out...the B18C is going to give you more power overall... but in the long run.....i see the B16A more potenial.....but at the same time....thats more than my 8grand limit......its a hard dicision......

if you been in the scene for 10 years, you would know enough not to ask this.

why? because the answer will end up in an opinion. the fact is, both engines are very good.

Its kinda like asking,

"Would you pick Ken or Ryu in Street Fighter and why?"

truth is, find what you can afford, find out what your goals are, and start from there.

that ls/vtec aint going to last u longer than 3 months....two months is pushing it already

do your research.

and again, do your research.

Ryu > Ken

I do love that flaming dragon punch though

its ALL about the Hadoken at the end off the day thats why Ryu is better.
