Default b18b vs b18c changing my mind

K guys I want your opinion...I believe both engines are awesome just one is better for certain things.

I want to turbocharge and run 10-12 psi daily. I want to have a vtec civic but starting to think that b18b would be the way to go. What do you guys think? BTW when you say the b18b makes more torque do you mean just mean at lower rpm or do you mean it will almost make more torque then a b18c? Just curious.

I don;t know where people get off saying the B18B has more torque than the B18C. It doesn't. Peak torque is higher on the B18C. And the B18C has a flatter torque curve.

B18C=128tq
B18B=127tq

B18B make that tq at a lower rpm than the B18C. I went with the LS motor and have been happy ever since

Both a b18b and a b18c running 12lbs of boost in a civic would be fun as hell.

b18b will be cheaper
b18c will be faster
