hey

my friend was telling me about his swap set up that he is putting into his EG hatch, and he said that he is getting a b18c1 motor but with a b16a2 head? he said that with the b16 head it would allow for higher revving/rpm's?

so i looked up on this manual i have on honda engines and it said that the B18 has higher RPM's then the B16a2?

so does he like not know what hes talking about or is this a true fact?

also what seems to be the better set up for a swap into an EG the B18C1 or the B16A2?

thank you

 

I believe so that the B18 rev's higher than the B16, and The B18 is most DEF a better swap. Plus a B18 with a B16 head is a Poormans Type R I believe.

 

very very true. haha the ghetto type r.

thank you

 

the b16 head flows better than the b18c1 but it wont do **** on a gsr block unless you put in itr or jdm b16 pistons or hell if you got $$$ for race gas then ctr pistons.

both engines rev just as high as eachother


and its not a ghetto type r, its a poor mans type r get right

BAHHHHH try again

B16's (especially the B16B) are capable of revving higher in stock form than B18's

the poormans's R is a GSR bottom end with ITR pistons and an ITR head on it.

I suggest a GSR or a R swap and if you like the revability get a B16B
