I know there are a hundred and one questions about this topic everyday, but i need to know what the majority of the Honda guys prefer. I am stuck in my decision and all my friends all say different things. So I really need an opinion on this. Maybe a future turbo build on whatever I get.

b16b. b18cr. jdm 18c. your an idiot.

eesuh

get the b16 maybe turbo it later on

i thought there might be a real honda guy on here. but i guess he knew what i meant since he corrected me. i need some more info.

d16z6_b_pirate_13

any opinions would be greatly appreciated

b16a00si

go with the b16 i luv mine.

d16z6_b_pirate_13

really? do u have a b16b. cause my b16a2 is crap

d16z6_b_pirate_13

i guess not judging by your name. wait until you have block and head separation because all the a2s want to do is rev theirselves to death

b16b is almost the same price as a itr engine, if you going to spend that much go with the itr, you didnt ask how much you want to spend. If your stumedp i would go with the gsr, its all around good and has potential for a lot of fun.

b16a00si

well i think that way bc i used to have a z6 and i think that the b16 is a hudge upgrade since then. i like the motor.

b16a00si

alot of people i talk to like the b16 better than the b18 but its personal preference find what u like and work with it.

d16z6_b_pirate_13

still got a z6 in my dd. my b16 car pulls alot harder but the timeslips show a different story, but my a2 is slowly dieing. you can get the longblocks b16b or b18cr for the same price. or get the whole gsr swap with lsd for a few hundred more. i can get any of the three. i really need to know the opinion of the general honda public.

b16a00si

get the lsd gsr then, im sure whatever u get ur gonna be happy with, its a HONDA, my dd is my si, what car is the motor goin in, just curious

d16z6_b_pirate_13

my 2000 si i would post a pic but i aint figured it out yet

d16z6_b_pirate_13

Go with the ITR and don't look back. You're doing what I wish I could do to my EM1.

I have the JDM ITR B18c in my 96 coupe. Down low it has more torque and pull than a B16a/b and on VTEC, it pulls like a ****. I reach 200km/h in no time at all. Spend the money on the ITR engine, you won't regret it at all.

itr is over rated. i've beaten a 00 si with an itr swap. it was full wieght against my fully gutted b16 coupe lsd itr tranny. I got him by half a car.
what are you going for, you said you plan on boosting later. just get the b18c1, they love boost.
and what *** is a b18cr?

b16a00si

i think he may mean b18c5, type r?

d16z6_b_pirate_13

in japan there is no numbers after the c. they denote the b18c5 (itr) in japan as b18c-r. jdm motors have no numbers.

d16z6_b_pirate_13

on a small note i think the gsr with the lsd tranny is going to work out pretty good. I noticed that the sycncros in my b16 tranny are going out. i only have the money for the longblock for either of the type r motors or the whole gsr lsd swap.

i think thats your best bet (gsr swap).
you could also get a ls short block, do a ls-vtec, and have enough funds for boost?
depending on your mechanical ability, you could re-ring and hone the block, and install the golden eagle vtec conversion.

here r some pics

I would buy a GSR motor and swap the B16 tranny and head on it. B16 tranny and head are much better than the GSR.
