Sup ht, just wondering if it would be worth it to change the block on my b16a2 for a b18c block. I found a b18c block for $300 with everything except the rings and bearings, seems like a good price to me but would the end result be much better then my b16 now? I'm planning on turboing it in the future.

a HOLE ex the rings and all for $300?the top end goes for that much and yes, due to the higher displacement of the engine it would come out 100% better than that b16...it just feels more meatier if you know what i mean .for $300 you just cant beat that price man!In my opinion a b16 is nice but a b18c is were it at there's just more low end power in that engine.. in the end its your choice!

No replacement for displacement.. I would pick it up.

b18c is all around a better platform to build off of

X4 but it will be more then 300 cuz your going to have to rebuild it ex rings,bearings,hone, etc

I'll try and pick it up but something seems off. He told me it only has 90k miles, that's pretty low.
Edit: Would a b18c block with a b16 head make the same power as a gsr or more?

can, depends on the pistons. the nippon usdm itr piston would be a good choice for an NA build. they are slightly larger than the usdm dome. be real easy to hit 11:1 compression if you shave the head slightly to true it up

b18c block and pr3x head is the casting of an itr

I would say 200 to 250 for a C1 block.. Your prob going to need to et the block decked, hone, and rings and bearings might also need a micro polish for the crank.

Just wondering...how much would that all cost? lol
