Default b16b vs b18c

well found a place with a cheap b16b full swap.was wondering which would be better to go with granted price is about the same for either a gsr or for a ctr motor. i have a 92 vx. was thinking the b16b would be the way to go since the internals are already better than a gsr. i know it would lack torque. not looking to go super fast. just want a swap. looking to do just bolt ons for either way i go.

thanks for your input

the ctr motor should make for a faster hatch that with the gsr engine. Does it also come with an lsd?

by the b16 or the b18 engine, when the b18 engine is cheap buy it. It is very difficult to swap a ctr engine in a eg

so does the ctr motor not bolt up exactly as a b16a would? what else would be needed. i thought that it would be a straight swap since it is a B series motor too.

it would be a direct swap.

if you can get the ctr swap cheaper than or for the same price as the gsr i would get it

Not really with the B16b he would be getting a better tranny, cams, and valvetrain. And all he would need to do is swap in a ls,gsr.or itr crank and rods and he would have a 1.8L

also in the future he could stroke it. unlike the b16a, the b16B is a destroked b18c5. look into it.

b16B is a sick motor and if stroked u could potentially have a sick c5 motor with a b16b stamp...

I was looking at getting the GSR. what is the difference between that and the CTR. I eventually want to go turbo. It would be going into a 94 cpe dx. Thanks for any help. Im looking for a good turbo motor, and something with enough power to get me through the down time in between the swap and the turbo. although anything would really be better than my d15b7 what would be best.

1400 and 1450 sounds very shady, maybe theyre stolen or maybe he was just talking out his *** to you

Maybe the police found him before he was able to return your emails. A pretty reliable rule to live by is that if something sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.
