I`m looking at eather a B16B type R or a B18C1 for my 99 ex. I don`t want any more BS then I need. pros and cons would help too.

IM ALL BOB

Well what do u want out of it? this is going to turn ugly.. overall b18c1 will be more comfortable for daily driving since it makes more torque and hp sooner than the b16b... it's up to you and what you want

lsvinny

I`v haven`t herd much about the B16B I don`t want a box full of swap parts to get a motor in though. this will be a toy.

B18C1 all the way. Save money and get torque.

id go b18, more displacement

lsvinny

I naver thought of that. better all around.
thanks

go b16b, revs to 9k stock, makes pretty nice power(though it is later) and c'mon! its a CTR Engine! how many people do you know that have a CTR engine in their car?? it would make you a little different and if you ever upgrade your engine you can sell your old parts for more money than ITR parts. i say go b16b, buts thats my opinion. oh and this WILL get ugly.

B16B=destroked ITR.... 3800-4000 rev to 9K STOCK!!!!!!! ****** eh, no one has these engines!!!!! put a ITR crank, and rods/pistons in there later down the road... and **** there you go... ITR with prolly more power than a ITR

lsvinny

call me dumb but i`m new to this import stuff, but what is CTR and ITR.

IM ALL BOB

that is exactly why you should hold off on a aswap until you learn everything you can, research is the KEY to success..if you really do a lot of reading you will realize which engine is best suited for you and basically keep you away from massive headaches

lsvinny

oh ya thats what i`m doing right now finding out all i can but i know how to trun a wrench.

CTR=Civic Type R
ITR= Integra Type R

FYI the civic type r doesn't roam the streets of the us unless it is imported directly by a third party, integra type r's can be bought here in the us, but you can also get the JDM(Japanese Domestic Market) Integra engines which have more power than ours here in the US. i would def go with the CTR engine, add a little originality to this game we play.

I agree with hime, do more research.

CTR=Civic Type R, ITR=Integra Type R

lsvinny

I thought i new what the ITR ment but the CTR through me.

GSR Pros: more torque, cheaper ($3200), everybody has parts avalible for it.
GSR Cons: ?

CTR Pros: You can say you have a JDM CTR swap. 5 hp more.
CTR Cons: Cost more ($3800), have fun paying for parts, unless you swap a complete intake manifold, distributor, and ECU w/ USDM parts.

Lets see................GSR, IMO.

lsvinny

the web site says, it will bolt rite in, so what your saying is the jdm ecu won`t work with my ex. and if the ecu will work with my ex way would i have to swap out the intake, distributor, and ecu?
i`m leaning a little more at the B18C, i like torque.

IS3Fifty

Is your car OBDII??? meaning 96+. If so You CAN get the CTR motor. The dizzy, intake mani, and ecu WILL plug as long as you have OBDII currently in the car.

I could go into more detail but i want to see your reply.

lsvinny

ya 99 ex stock.
