Both are good motors..Both are capable of 300whp on stock internals with good tuning,management,and the proper sized turbo..Both are 1.8 and have decent torque..If you have the money I would say get the b18c..It can rev high,has vtec,head flows better,makes more power with less boost because of the higher compression..

i just ordered a b16b.

but i say go for whatever you like? the gsr motor can be boosted, but will require a bit more tuning.
