Re: B16A or a B18C1 or C5 (turbo_era)
Newb, you should try the search button. Also pick up some magazines, and do some internet research on the different B series motors available. B16 (SI) B18C1 (GSR) and B18C5 (ITR). I personally would go with the B18C5 hands down. You also need to know what direction your mods would take in the future; "all motor", boost, etc. Also, what you can afford. The 18C5 is most expensive, but well worth it IMO. Good luck Noob..

i deno....i would boost a c5...just get new rods and lower compression pistons...and you have a good turbo set-up just dont boost over 7 PSI
and theres nothing wrong with high compression boost. just tune it right so it wont detonate or misfire or knock or whatever...and you have a good response high revving high horsepower engine...thats just IMO

I personally wouldn't boost a B18C5 motor, just my opinion. I think a GSR or LS motor would be a better choice.. 
talk about throttle response!! I know people that have run 7 pounds for 2 years on a C5 with NO problems! And it rips!! C1 CR is 10.2, and C5 is only .6 higher!. Also with the tranny!! You rip through the gears!! I saw a guy put down 320 whp on 10 psi with a C5...now that's impressive.

Jdm ITR swap is what I am going to get, its powerful enough for me to be happy auto-x without wanting to do any internal work on it.
But then again I am not you so good luck.
