*first of all i would like to say that i know every car is different and everyone has their own opinions but i would still appreciate anything you guys have to say...tia.

Ok...i was wondering which would be faster? an obd1 second gen b16a w/ itr head...jun3 cams,valves springs/retainers, cam sprockets with i/h/e and a itr tranny inside a full interior 93 dx coupe OR a bone stock b18c1 with i/h/e...i would be on a tight all motor budget. ive had a bone stock b16 before in my crx...and ive also had a 91 dx hatch with b18c1- jg head/throttlebody, hks sprockets,fpr,cai, dc 4-1 headers, and a magnaflow exhaust that hit 13.8 on street tires. i just wanna know which has more bang for the buck. thanks in advance...

In my opinion, I prefer any thing that is 1.8 or higher for mostly street driven. It has more torque. Just get the b18c and built it up later. I had a b16, b18c, b20vtec. I don't like b16 and I never will.

Well, the B18c1 does pack tight **** in each cylinder, but with all that crap on the B16 & an ITR head, that goes past the B18 w/ I,H,&E.
How ever, get that ITR, and slap it on the B18 and put roughly $4000 in that engine along w/ a big turbo, you can start owning some people on the street.

thanks for the replies guys.... im on a really tight budget...if i go the b16 route, i could get that motor with the basic bolt-ons and the rest of the stuff i mentioned by the end of this year. If i go the gsr route i would have to wait for probably 2 more months and i wouldnt be able to get the *nice* parts for it until probably next summer. im not really into turbos...dont get me wrong they're hella fast but i wanna stay all motor for now. oh yeah i forgot to mention that i would probably add ctr pistons...i dont know if that will help much.

another thing i was wondering is what do you guys estimate that the quarter mile times would be for each set up?thanks again

IF you have the money....B18C would def. be the best setup

With a tight budget...B16, its fun, cheap, and fast. Also easy to come by.

B18c + lots of $$$$ + good light car= one hell of a fast ride. a new turbo would be nice on one of those with an ITR head.

i say save for the b18c, you'll be happy, as compared to rushing and getting the b16 and wishing you woulda went with the 1.8.

Just my 2 cents.

b18c, more torque
