a b18 or b17 which one to boost?
both motors are good, but just keep the b18 and sell the other motor and use the money to build the block of your b18.

 

The b17a compared to the b18b bottom end is much stronger in terms of OEM components. If you are going to build either engine, the b18b bottom end would yield greater results in horsepower and torque.
