red_hatchback

I'm forward to buying a complete b16a1 shortblock for my 95 civic hatchback but i'm new on the b-series swaps. I was wondering which head would be better on the shortblock, (b16,b18c1,b18c5) or which head would be the BEST for TURBO setup?? Also what ecu would I be needing?? what harness?? and what distributor?? And to my knowledge I know that the b16 tranny has the shortest gearing so what tranny would you guys recommend??

rather than buying a b16 short block you could picp a b18b shortblock for much cheaper and then put a b16 head on there, i wouldnt get the gsr head because it has different bolt layouts on the intake manifold hence why there are different ones. Get a b16 head and build it they are easier to come by

B16 head cause it flows better. P28 ECU . You can use your stock harness, you may have to add vtec wires if you're not an Si. Use any OBD-1 DOHC Vtec dizzy, and a GSR tranny!
