hey just registered today and new to everything so iw as hoping to get help... i've seen all the posts about which is better n all but i just wanna know which one is actually cheaper? i went to hmotorsonline.com and they had the b16 for cheaper it has more hp less torque but iono i just want ne 1 of em so i need help on my decision please? hehe help a newb lols thanks!!!

 

Do some research on your own. Thats the best way.

The B18A is generally cheaper. They're out of the 90-93 Integra, so they're pretty easy to find. If you're talking about the B18C (DOHC VTEC/ITR/GSR), which is more comparable to the B16, then the B16 is cheaper.

 

b18a r cheaper. b18c1 and c5 cost more dough.

 

I did my B16 swap for the same price as a B18a swap. Do some research and see what works for you.

 

b18a/b swaps right in with mounts and linkage. vtec anything, you have to do some wiring.


and the vtec motors are more expensive.

 

well rite now im thinkin to go wid the b18 just cuz the torque n convert to vtech n add turbo later but iono i dun wanna rush too much dun wanna regret nething but thx for all the help

 

hell either one of them is a good choice. i decided to go with the b16 but i have a good friend that went along with a b18a and decided to go lsVtec with it. its a fully built low compression motor and it fricken moves. they are both good its just what you want to build.

 

The b18a full swap is cheaper then a b16a full swap..

You can get the b18a swap for less then $500 at a junkyard..

 

b18as usually have high miles on them, you can get a b16 from hmotorsonline which has alot less miles on it then a b18a

Nobody knows how many miles are on those motors from japan..They estimate around 30k-50k but they dont know//Atleast if you buy a b18a from a junkyard the miles are right on the odometer of the car..You might get lucky and get a car thats been sitting there since 1996 with under 50k miles...You find some good stuff at junkyards..

 

What kind of driving do you do?
