b18a1 question
 

Here is the deal. I am getting a b18a1 from a friend for like $200. one of the cylinders has low compression. If i get it, it will be in my 96 ex coupe. Is it worth it? I'm going to rebuild it when I get it, but I just want to know if it a good motor. In about a year i plan to boost it. Thanks in advance for the help!!

Re: b18a1 question
 

GREAT motor, and great platform for boost later on. there are many optios you can run with on it. LS turbo, LS/Vtec and even add turbo to that. (thats my current setup and i LOVE it) get it, build it and have fun. are you doing an OEM build or forged internals?

Re: b18a1 question
 

No, if you want to boost later, get a B18B1 if you on a budget. B is better than the A model.

Bump, I still need answers. If it is worth it, I will be picking up the motor today! I just need more input!

its worth it dude go for it!! I have a b18a in my Ferio eg8 and must i say DAMN for a little 1.8L it pulls pretty damn hard. GREAT motor for boost as well. you will have a lot of fun and will not regret it. 200 dollars is a great deal, just take care of that compression leak lol. let me know how your swap goes bro! b18a civics FTW!
