B16A Vs D15B (Forced Induction) Vs B18c ???
 

Hello People,

Im new to this forum thingy but its the best way to find answers to my questions.

I currently drive a little Civic EG running a pussy D15B. Its slow, non responsive and ultimately, nothing special.

My car is currently metallic blue. I am running a twin system out to quad tips. Its lowered on Pedders and on king springs. Car is wearing black widow front bar, buddyclub 2 sideskirts and buddyclub 2 rear bar. Front is carrying a CF buddyclub bonnet.

I have a couple of options, mainly relating to engine comparisons.

1st Option.

B16A, Toda Stage c Camshaft, Toda Valve Springs and retainers, Motec ECU.

2nd Option.

B18C JDM DC-2 Type R (stock)

3rd Option.

Rebuild D15B and feed it T3/4 turbo.

The purpose is to get this car nice and balanced. Nice and constant power and of course, smoke a few v6s while im @ it. It will be driven on a daily basis so nothing too hardcore. :D

Also, I like the shape of the EG so changing to another car is not possible.

*My pocket is limited to around the 10k mark*
Let me know what you guys think and gimme some feedback.

You said this car would be daily driven and you have 10k, I would invest in a stock B18C and invest in something else. When I say B18C, I'm talking about a GSR. What B18C are you talking about? JDM Type R.

i wouldnt go boost cuz your DD it.
d15b has not much aftermarket support AKA rods. If you want to really make good power you have to go with a d16

go b18c

B18 GSR

Turbo D16Z6, if you build it right it will be totally reliable and faster than an all motor b-series. Check out d-series.org and turbod16.com

b18c fow now....boost it later!

d series turbo https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

GET A KSERIES. I CAN GET YOU A K20/K24 SWAP FOR 6G'S, AND IT WILL BE A GOOD DAILY DRIVER AND WAY FASTER THEN ANY B-SERIES MOTOR.

it's been proven that d15b and d16z6 rods are identical. so far the only thing you'll have trouble finding for the d15b are pistons https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emthdown.gif

Boost the d it will beat b16 and b18 all day

Re: (DYRcivic)
 

I'd definately get the B18C https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Re: (black_dohc)
 

GSR motor has much stouter internals and when you want to go faster later (you will, trust me, speed is addictive) boost it. Turbo LS is not a bad idea, I have a friend running the same setup running in the lower 12s in a hb with stock internals (im still a bit confused on how they did it), with tuning of course.

honestly, the turbo d15 can and will smoke those other motors,

but you'd probably want to do a turbo d16, if you're rebuilding it..

b18c defo! https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif much more potential and not gonna have a problem with low torque like the d series! b series all the way!!!!!

b18c6 https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

h22!

Re: B16A Vs D15B (solsi2000)
 

Thanks for all your replies. B18C maybe the best way to go..

Re: B16A Vs D15B (d15singlecammer)
 

if you have 10000, K is the only way. You can get it done with less than 10g's with haggling and very diligent pursuit of a good deal. Its only going to cost me around 7300 if i do all the work myself which i will.

get a k20...or a b18c5 and call it a day....

what about b20vtec?
that's another hammer of a motor imo..

Re: B16A Vs D15B
 

everyone is always going to say B and jump on the bandwagon, seems you've made up your mind anyway as to what you want to do.

I say boost the D and smoke B16's, B18's B 20's all day long with a smile on your face. I wouldn't even consider K cause of the cost. You could get a nice D16z6, build it up STRONG with a really good turbo kit for under 5k.......do some homework and don't give into peer pressure.

Good luck.

VIVA LA D
