Ok just like the topic says im trying to decide between b1 and c1 to swap into my 91 civic hatch. Its going to be boosted and my goal is to aim for a 300 hp fun daily driver. Ive heard good things about both motors as far as boosting but I still cant really decide. Can anyone give input on which one would be better to go with having my goals in mind? Thanks.

i say go with the cheaper one and when you boost its bore it out to a bigger size

I also found the gsr motor for like 3k though and i found the b1 on the same website for a little over 1700

it'll be more expensive to make the LS faster than the GSR. So go with the better motor in the end or else you'll be kicking yourself later. I have an LS in my car and i'm going GSR. It would cost me $1500 to boost the way i want. If i would have paid $2500 for a GSR i would have liked where i was at, now i have a $500 LS plus $2000 to boost (add $500 for random crap) and it still wont' be what a GSR could be with a proper tune and minor bolt ons.

Tigerjapanese is a hit or miss place, HMO is amazing (i've bought a B16A from there and was nothing but satisfied.)

K thanks and that was going to be another Q if that website was any good. Ill check out the website you posted but basically what you guys are saying is its def much better to go gsr and boost.

Gsr and boost


And hmotors stand up dudes there

sfar785

boosted GSR = sex, i got a buddy with one and it's beast.

DXHatch91

Lol nice. Ya i checked that link out that sooo messed up ill check hmotors for the gsr.

sfar785

check out http://www.jspecauto.com/, my buddy said he got an H22 from there and it was nice.

I found the type r b18 for 3700 96-97 spec and the 98+ one was 4500 how come the 98 is so much more expensive than the 96-97?

DXHatch91

That was on hmotors i just found the type r on jspec for 4k is one site better than the other jspec seems a little cheaper.

Hmotors is a little more

Vut over the years iv learned you get what u pay for

DXHatch91

K and i think i found the reason in price diff between the 96-97 engine and the 98 the 98 has 210 hp instead of 200 and comes with some more things. But i totally agree you get what you pay for theyre both around 4k so its not too much of a difference ($500) but they are hydrolic trannys isnt mine cable so would i have to get the $400 conversion kit.

Lmao u mad bro?

N I'm.sure you can work out something with hmotors

Or you can always sell the hydro n grab ab16 cable.trans

Or buy a cable case n put the gsr gears in it

DXHatch91

What would the better option be though is the b16 trans as good as the gsr one? Or is the hydra trans better and i should get the conversion kit hmotors sells with the engine.

Its really up too you iv.never had a hydro ef

B16 has short gears soo dd'ing it maybe a hassle on the highway

DXHatch91

Ok ill think about it more but is it bad to have hydro or just harder to do so its more uncommon?

Idk to be honest I know zero about hydro efs

sfar785

no, it's better to have hydro honestly, less **** goes wrong with those. I know a lot of guys who get the conversions.

DXHatch91

Ok kool thanks hmotors sells the conversion for 400 and also im wondering if ill have to upgrade the clutch maybe stage 2?

sfar785

you can use an OEM clutch, no need for a Stage 2 if you're just gonna DD it.

DXHatch91

Even with it being boosted(.70 trim) though im not disagreeing im just making sure
