95exvtech

I have a 95 coupe I want to swap in b series motor. I'm considering an b18b, b18c1 or b18c5. I have been doing shopping on ebay, locally in chicago and I even though about just purchasing an integra with the motor i want swap it in and then save the integra for my next build (k20 or something). B18Cs seem to be going for a lot. I have seen in recent issues of Honda tuning 700hp and better motors that were B18Bs with b16 heads. I am planning on boosting it I would say a few months after I rebuild it and swap it in. Should I spend 3k or more to get a b18c or build up a b18b? My hp aim is about 400-600hp all said and done with whatever engine...does the b18b have more max hp potential than the Cs?

it might be a little cheaper to go ls/vtec if you want to build it for turbo. You can get a b18b/a for cheap and just build it up. Just at the end your going to have a lot of tuning to do to the motor. It all depends on your expense and what you like.

Something I forgot to add, My hp aim is about 400-600hp all said and done with whatever engine...does the b18b have more max hp potential than the Cs?

if you are building for boost for get the r. a waste of money imo. if you have a vtec head get the ls, if not get the whole gsr and build that.

this has been covered.
