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

[liquid8]

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.

They are based on the same motor, with the Type R motor having higher comp, different cam profiles, different inlet and exhaust manifold etc...it all depends what you want to do and whether you want to got the FI or NA route.

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

i'm looking for long run kickassness. i'm not a rich as bastard. i'm gonna have to work and shit to put parts in it. but really price is no object. but its not like i'm gonna fix it up in 2 months
