Default b16 or b18?

I am deciding on whether to swap a b16a or a b18c into my 95' eg hatch........I'm not sure which would be better for all motor.......and which for boost.......and are they both direct swaps into the hatch???.........ps, I'm buying the motor from hmotors online, so could I use the shift linkage and axles it comes with, what am I missing??

Do the B18 you'll love it. A bunch of my friends have built out B18s and B16s all motor and the 18s are always on top. Plus both would be good for boost so go with the 18. What do you mean what are you missing....Im confused?

Unless you are swapping in a new trans you dont need any new axles or shift linkage. If you are swapping in a new trans depending oon what you are doing you might need to have axles custom made to fit into the trans and still fit into your wheel assembly.

yeah, i'm getting everything including a trans, but I'm thinking about going with the B16a because I can use the stock axles to fit my civic and it has a four lug nut axle, so i can use my current wheels.........i was only wondering if the B18c had axles that would be usable on my civic?........but B16a seems like my best bet since I'm new at this
