Default Which engine?
I have a 95 honda civic dx coupe. Should i go with a b18b swap, or a b16a? I am also turbocharging the engine once it is swapped in? Which is the better choice?

Thanks Josh

I have personally driven both in the exact same car cx hatch and dx hatch.

My b16a2 with y21 tranny in my dx hauls ***.

It doesn't pull aswell as the b18 but witht he higher rpm and vtec you own any b18b swapped civic

turbo and vtec owns all

but the b18 is a better engine to turbo it has less compression.
