Please clarify what you're asking.

Don't know why you think that's repairable.

its not fixalbe i know that going to junk the block maybe my crank is still good?i know 2 pistons are fine but might as well toss them unless someone needs for some spare parts

CX-Adam

So... you have another block with... nothing in it? something in it? And, it's of unknown condition?

And, you have a blown block of which you've told us nothing except show us that you've thrown a rod.

How should we know? If you've got money invested into the bottom end with forged parts (it doesn't look like it), pull the parts and take them in to be inspected. Do the same for the other block (if it even has anything in it and isn't just a bare block).

We're not mind readers.

buying a complete b18c1 out of a 94 going to take it apart and getting it inspected by a shop..the block that thrown the rod is a completely stock b20b..what block would you guys recommend for a reliable dd eg..

Are you trolling us?

The "Rules of the Internet" say you have to admit to trolling if you are.

Your B20 is shot and you're "buying a complete B18C1." I don't get what you're asking.

You're buying/bought a B18C1. Why are you even asking?

ericnnz23

So I repeat. If you have a block, why are you asking what block to get?

Hay giuz, I has a B20C5 Type R JDM UK Special Edition Type S, wut blok shud I get? I had a k23b4, at lest that what this kid sed when he sold me it,, so b17 head?

CX-Adam

Ryd2TheMax, your post is way more unnecessary than anything we've posted yet. Also, you're signature is ripping on someone's grammar and, in doing so, uses the wrong form of "its." What you mean to say is "it's" instead of "its." Flaming is prohibited.


OP, are you asking us if your B16 head will fit on the B18C1 block? When you say you're buying a "longblock" are you sure you're using the term "longblock" correctly? Longblock implies it's coming with a head as well. You can use your B16 head with the B18C1 block. Or, you can keep the B18C1 (P72) head. Either will work.

im getting a b18 c1 block to swap it with the blown block or should i go a different route?im picking up a longblock in a few months when i have the money just need something to get my car back on the road to get to work and back

ericnnz23

i havent got the block yet im going to get it tomorrow if i dont find a block by then..anyone know anyone with a b20b block?what would hold up better b20b or b18c1?

CX-Adam

So, you have nothing to drive right now?

The block that you are planning on buying "in a few months" will be fine. The only reason to "go a different route" is if you find another B-Series engine in the meantime that's cheaper. No offense but if you can't afford to buy the engine RIGHT NOW then you shouldn't be worrying about getting something that would be fast.

Wait, I just thought of something... is you blown block and B16 head a LS/VTEC setup? The B18C1 would be fine if you've currently got a VTEC setup but, I think, if you don't buy the B18C1 and instead buy a non-vtech block, you'll need to do something to it. Marc, can you help me out with this? Hopefully you know what I'm trying to say. I've never done an LS/V and I know there's something to do with oil ports.

im going to have this b18c1 block shipped to me and should have it on monday or tuesday im on a tight buget for now until i can afford a complete swap which is 1800 for a b18c1 with 30-50thousand from a shop in san diego.yes its a b20 vtec was wondering if i could just throw a b18 c1 for now just to get me by not really worried about something fast till a few months

CX-Adam

Honestly, I still don't know what you have, what you're getting, and when you're getting it.

I don't have any experience with hybrid engines (Frankensteins). But,a B16 head WILL fit on a B18C_ block and some people prefer this combination. Review the appropriate forums for more information. If you're buying a block (no head, no trans, but WITH the rotating assembly), you'll be fine. You'll likely not NEED to purchase a complete engine later on.

i have a b16 head out of a 1999 honda civic si and a b16 tranny out of the same car im going to do some more research
