I sold my old turbo setup, I got enough cash to start my new project which is a 93 vx. Anyways, I know this poll has probably gotten posted several times, but I got money and ready to see whats today's answer is. I just undecisive right now and I need help. I plan to build whatever motor I go with and I will be boosting there after, it will be my daily driver as well as weekend 1/4 mile car. Anyways, help me out, if you don't got anything positive to say, then don't post. -Thank You

B18C1, Most effective but not the cheapest.

it aint in the poll, but you might consider a SOHC VTEC as well

Depends on how much power you want to make. If you just want something fun to drive I would go sohc vtec, if you want all out power go b18c. I like the d-series because when you start breaking stuff parts are a dime a dozen......b-series parts can hurt the wallet if you know what I mean.....

B18B more torque

Thanks guys, looks like b18c1 is the most favorable here. From what I researched using the honda-tech search, I found that the b18b was the most favorable. I guess it's different today, anways I'm building both motors as I stated earlier, also be daily driven as well as boosted. Please give me reasons why b18c1 is better than b18b besides hp for boosting...

B18C1 is def the best all around turbo motor.

Reasons? Please...Thank You

B18B. Power where you need it down low, and you can build it to spin up there. In the end you can make more power I believe.

Elite Hatch

My reason is for HP. And all around speed.

I have friends that have all of the above setups, b18b, b18c (which i have too), b16a, and the fastest by far is the b18c, bottom line. H22 would def be the best i think...i also have a friend with a turbo h22 in a hatch...bad ***...lot of money tho to get it installed

This is my first post in a while, but here goes..

advantages of the B18C:
stronger internals (i.e. rods, girdle, etc...)
better rod/stroke ratio (translates to less sidewall stress=your stock sleeves'll last longer)
meant for high(er) revving
better oil circulation system (example, oil squirters to help keep friction down)
better breathing head
better overall platoform to build with
(you'll be swapping out parts in the B18B for B18C parts to get it to work better...so why not just go with a B18C?)

overall, the B18C will make much more power reliably that the B18B

TheSwift1

sure, down low power is fine if your going with an LS tranny...but if ur going with a B18C tranny, who needs power at 2,500 RPM? ur not going to be that low anyway...

Thanks man, I was told the same exact info you listed from a friend of mine.
