was wndering the difference as a civic with b18c4 got traded in at work, and dnt know whether to stcik to the b18c4 or go with a b18c5 keeping in mind tht the b18c4 has done 100,000 miles and could require a full rebuild if it was going to be boosted, hope u can help cheers

 

or you in europe

 

yeah great britain in scotland lol, i know tht the c5 is type r n all but is there really such a big difference between the engines, cause i know tht u need 2 change piston n all tht in the c5 as its already a high compression engine, jst need some info on wht would be the best buy?
engine will be going inot a civic ek 97 hatchie, only done 42k. thankz

 

The B18C4 (EDM 1.8 vtec motor from the Civic VTi, and the Aerodeck 1.8) is the B18C from the Si-G Integra, though both are the same spec as the B18C1 from the USDM 94+ GSR's.

c5: type R
c4: gsr

Out of the box, if you really want to boost, buy the c4, b/c of lower compression. But then-again you want to do a rebuild... so, Id buy the c5 and drop the compression a bit.

 

thanks man , thinkin about goin with the c5 done some research nad looks gd, do you know ne gd sites or place's tht i could sorce a b18c5 has to be willing to ship to United kingdom ? thanks again chris

You bumped a thread three hours later to make fun of his screen name. Nice contribution. Punch yourself in the face for being such an idiot.

Around here the most consistantly reputable is hmotorsonline, but they are in California. So you'll be paying an arm and a leg to get it shipped. I would imagine getting an R motor would be much easier to get over there, considering europe got the typeR... and the fact that you guys are closer to Japan than we are. I know that's not alot of help... but maybe google it

 

Its VTAK! get it straight!
