This is the motor in the non Type-R and non GSR Integra.

Pros
Good torque for a 1.8L (127 ft/lbs)
Inexpensive (even cheaper than a B16)
142 hp (more than any stock D series)
Boost heads love them

Cons
No VTEC
Longest B series transmission

B18C1 (or JDM B18C)
These come out of an Integra GSR.

Pros
Good Hp and TQ numbers (170, 121 ft/lbs respectively)
DOHC VTEC
Tons of potential
High revving

Cons
Expensive
Becoming moreso as people keep scooping them up
Slighty longer tranny than the ITR and B16

id go with the GSR personally, but if you wanna build a N/A Motor, go with LS

WRONG

LS for boost all the way. It's the most cost effective boost platform

GSR would be even better for boost, but is a better NA platform

 

you're not gonna be beating many v8's on the freeways with just a b-swap. if it were me, I would do LS boost. It was fun while it lasted.

 

I would go with the b18c1. It would be better in the long run.

 

im running an lsvtec right now but over the past 2 years of running it.. it seems to be getting a lil tired.. i have a b18c (jdm gsr) waiting for replacement this spring break ill tell ya how she runs

 

thanx rusted... how did the ls run when u first got it?

 

the lsvtec ran real strong.. didnt have any problems.. drove it everyday and still am..stilll pulls hard, but i can telll it lost some power. btw im on stock internals and gsr head... with some bolt ons

 

there is absolutely no comparison between ls and gsr

 

there has been all these responses and recommendations... yet no-one has asked him what his goals are. (and beating v8's doesn't count).

What are your goals? and what will be the primary purpose of the car.

 

LS are unstable

 

LS does not have that much more torque than the GSR...it's not like going from B16 to GSR...

 

my goalz are running 11-12 sec....on the track

 

just get a b18C1 n call it a day. boost it with a full-race kit get it tuned by someone that knows how n u can get 11s n 12s on a stock motor. wont last long but should do some block work to keep the longevity up a lil bit. but yeah.... if its a honda n doesnt have vtec its no good... its already provent vtec hondas run the fastest times in whatever type of racing u want to put them in *vtec vs non vtec* &lt;---flame protection

 

alrite thanx guyz....

 

who cares about torque......honda's don;t need it..get a b18c..honda's all about v-tec...

 

oh alrite i think ill go wid the b18c....

 

ls/vtec all the way... last longer

 

boosted ls

or if you got the money ls/vtec turbo set up
