Which One

[newbicivic89]

Which would you choose a B18c1 or a B16a1 and why.

[Schister66]

that's too broad a question to answer definitively....you need to be more specific!! Searching is also a good choice!!

Personally i'd pick the GSR, not only because it has more power, but because i already have one......either way you won't be dissapointed! IT just really depends on what you're planning to do w/ the engine and how much $$ you have to blow!

[newbicivic89]

If you wanted to do alot of street racing. Also thx for your opinion.

[Schister66]

that really didnt tell me a damn thing......

How much do you have to spend? Do you know anything about cars, or Hondas for that matter? What are your power goals? Turbo or NA app? Budget?

[newbicivic89]

i have a b18c1 and try to get about 300Hp out of ( what can i do to get 300 Hp out of it ) it but then my friend told me ( hes smart in this stuff ) said to get a b16a2 beacuse we he went to the races he saw some b16 raceing a b18 and the b16 won and they were both turbocharged.

[Schister66]

just because the B16 won doesn't mean that it is a better engine.....and just because they were both turbo, doesn't mean anything. One could've had a fairly conservative turbo set up and the other could've been built. There are GSR's that make over 700whp, and i'm sure there are B16s that get close to the same....


BUDGET???? and what do you really know about Hondas and turbos? By the sounds of it, your buddy doesn't know a whole hell of a lot.

read!!

If i got a b16 head and put it on my b18c1 block wouldnt that give me a lower compression and that gives me more boost?? Then i just dont want to give it 2 much boost cause i could blow engine parts so what new parts could i get that can withstand more horsepower.

[Schister66]

Did you even read that site at all.......you don't have a clue what you're talking about! IF you're seriously thinking of doin this....which i DOUBT....what is your budget? What kind of car is this going in?

Why not. No im just on here for the fun of it cause im bored today.lalalala stupid i know what im talkin bout and if u cant answer some simple questions then you an just GO TO HELL. OK

Enough of this shit. B18c engine w/LSD transmission (since you don't even have the engine yet you lying little bastard), Hasport hydraulic tranny conversion mount kit (so you don't have to use a cable B-series transmission, sleeve the block, rods, low compression pistons (9:1-9.5:1), engine managment (uberdata, chrome, hondata, aem ems, etc), a really good PROFESSIONAL tune (don't do it yourself, have a friend do it, a friend of a friend do it, your friends dad do it; pay to have a professional who knows what the hell they are doing to tune it for you). If you have more $ after that; get some nice turbo cams and upgrade the valvetrain (springs, retainers, valves, etc), new intake manifold, sticky tires, shocks and springs/coilovers (don't go cheap).

Don't ask any more frigging questions! If you want info, look for it. You'll find more info (and more detailed info) by searching than anyone will be able to give you. Every single tiny mit of info has been covered countless times.
