Hello People,

Im new to this forum thingy but its the best way to find answers to my questions.

I currently drive a little Civic EG running a ***** D15B. Its slow, non responsive and ultimately, nothing special.

My car is currently metallic blue. I am running a twin system out to quad tips. Its lowered on Pedders and on king springs. Car is wearing black widow front bar, buddyclub 2 sideskirts and buddyclub 2 rear bar. Front is carrying a CF buddyclub bonnet.

I have a couple of options, mainly relating to engine comparisons.

1st Option.

B16A, Toda Stage c Camshaft, Toda Valve Springs and retainers, Motec ECU.

2nd Option.

B18C JDM DC-2 Type R (stock)

3rd Option.

Rebuild D15B and feed it T3/4 turbo.

The purpose is to get this car nice and balanced. Nice and constant power and of course, smoke a few v6s while im @ it. It will be driven on a daily basis so nothing too hardcore. :D

Also, I like the shape of the EG so changing to another car is not possible.

*My pocket is limited to around the 10k mark*
Let me know what you guys think and gimme some feedback.

You said this car would be daily driven and you have 10k, I would invest in a stock B18C and invest in something else. When I say B18C, I'm talking about a GSR. What B18C are you talking about? JDM Type R.

 

i wouldnt go boost cuz your DD it.
d15b has not much aftermarket support AKA rods. If you want to really make good power you have to go with a d16

go b18c

 

B18 GSR

 

Turbo D16Z6, if you build it right it will be totally reliable and faster than an all motor b-series. Check out d-series.org and turbod16.com

 

b18c fow now....boost it later!

 

d series turbo

 

GET A KSERIES. I CAN GET YOU A K20/K24 SWAP FOR 6G'S, AND IT WILL BE A GOOD DAILY DRIVER AND WAY FASTER THEN ANY B-SERIES MOTOR.

 

THAT SOUNDS GREAT MAN, please don't use caps.

it's been proven that d15b and d16z6 rods are identical. so far the only thing you'll have trouble finding for the d15b are pistons

 

Boost the d it will beat b16 and b18 all day

 

I'd definately get the B18C

 

GSR motor has much stouter internals and when you want to go faster later (you will, trust me, speed is addictive) boost it. Turbo LS is not a bad idea, I have a friend running the same setup running in the lower 12s in a hb with stock internals (im still a bit confused on how they did it), with tuning of course.

 

honestly, the turbo d15 can and will smoke those other motors,

but you'd probably want to do a turbo d16, if you're rebuilding it..

 

b18c defo! much more potential and not gonna have a problem with low torque like the d series! b series all the way!!!!!

 

b18c6

boost it later!!!

 

h22!

 

Thanks for all your replies. B18C maybe the best way to go..

 

if you have 10000, K is the only way. You can get it done with less than 10g's with haggling and very diligent pursuit of a good deal. Its only going to cost me around 7300 if i do all the work myself which i will.

 

get a k20...or a b18c5 and call it a day....

 

what about b20vtec?
that's another hammer of a motor imo..

 

everyone is always going to say B and jump on the bandwagon, seems you've made up your mind anyway as to what you want to do.

I say boost the D and smoke B16's, B18's B 20's all day long with a smile on your face. I wouldn't even consider K cause of the cost. You could get a nice D16z6, build it up STRONG with a really good turbo kit for under 5k.......do some homework and don't give into peer pressure.

Good luck.
