B16 vs. B18
Is getting a B18 worth the price difference between that and a B16 and Anyone know were i can find one of them? and not get ripped off. Any other suggestions for my 97 Civic EX Coupe?

B16
These can be found in the JDM SIR and SIRII (among other JDM cars, which I don't claim to know all of which it came in) as well as the USDM 99-00 SI (EM1) and the 99-00 Canadian SIR.
Pros
160 hp stock
High RPM power
Fairly inexpensive
Good transmission
DOHC VTEC
Cons
113ft/lbs torque (very little more than a D16z6 stock)
Without knowing what you're looking for you can end up with a high mileage JDM model
Under 4k or so it feels just like a D16
B18B
This is the motor in the non Type-R and non GSR Integra.
Pros
Good torque for a 1.8L (127 ft/lbs)
Inexpensive (even cheaper than a B16)
142 hp (more than any stock D series)
Boost heads love them
Cons
No VTEC
damn i feel like a moderator

you need to specify which b16 and which b18, there is b16a, b16a2, b16b, b18a, b18b, b18c, b18c5, etc. Do a little research first.

he's saying that you might buy a motor w/ high mileage and that B16s are weak just like d16s under 4k rpms

Re: B16 vs. B18 (lazybrown187)
I would go with the b18 just because of the difference of torque between the two. That and the b18 stock bottom ends are known to be pretty strong, and they have less compression so if you boost it, it won't be as much of a headache to a newer tuner. Good luck with your project
