I've got one!

89 Si Hatchback with 95 B18C GSR motor. Carb legal and certified here in Calif.

It's a great combination however I've got an 93 YS1 LS transmission and it's not optimum for the engine.

It should be able to hit high 13's with a good driver.

I am trying to make it up to the 1320 in Fontana later this month, and I'm shooting for 13's. We'll see what happens..

STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS

I've heard like one or two people getting good motors from Osaka, but everybody else seems to get bad or trashed motors. Even though they have good prices I would say STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!

I've never heard anyone say that a B18C1 ED/EF sucks. The B18C (GSR or ITR) and B20 are probably the only motors out there for which this is the case. Perhaps this is why I have both. But regardless, unless your previous car is a Viper, you won't be disappointed.
