I own a 1991 crx hf. I was wondering if it would be better to go with the b16a or the b18c5 engine. This will be more of a daily driver than for drag. Thank you for any information that you can provide.

 

Depends on how much $ you have, and what kind of deal you can get on the swap.

 

i found b18c5 for 3500, not installed. B16 for 1500, installed. I have about 8000.

 

Well if you have 8000 to spend you could get the b18c5 and install that and have a couple grand left or you could get the b16 installed and maybe turbocharge it and still have a grand or two left. If it is just a daily driver then go for the b18c5 but if you want a street/strip terror do the b16 turbo.

 

ive got ab16 crx and I am hapy with it .... However if you got the money go for th b18c5.... I would personnaly go for a gsr and then use the rest for a turbo or something .... my opinion

 

go b18c5, thats a good price

 

id buy a GSR block and completely build it, it would kill a C5 and still b more reliable than a B16 on FI.

 

where can you get a c5 for only 3500..hook me up!!

 

thats a really good price for a b18c5 , go for the b18c5

 

b16a+turbo!! but before you even do that build the motor. build it for 15lb of boost and it will see 300 whp. it will be a BEAST

 

You can't pass up 3500 for the B18c5. So, where you getting it for that price?

 

look in the online classifieds, the guy supposedly has 5 of them but 3 of those C5s r sold. someones already posted that hes a ripoff artist, id b leary. thats y i only buy parts from 1 online supplier or IN STATE where i can go and physically look at the part.

 

i called nippon a few months ago and they told me 3500 for b18c5, on their website it is now 5300 i believe. Maybe she quoted me for a c1, but she told me 3500 fr c5. Sorry about that. Thanx for the info, and i think i'm goin b16 with turbo.

 

I've seen the B18c5 go for up to 6500. where did you find it for 3500?
are you sure its not a B16C1?

If you got the money, and can get it for that price, get the B18c5

 

Mabey he's talking about the longblock for $3500....makes more sense

 

most likely B18c1
but either way you can not go wrong

 

What the hell is a B16C1?

And what kind of question is this anyway? B18C5 vs. B16A.. come on now, my pet turtle can answer that one. The only reason I'd pick a B16A over a B18C5, is if I couldn't afford the C5. How about you buy the C5, and I'll give you my B17A for it.
