Is getting a B18 worth the price difference between that and a B16 and Anyone know were i can find one of them? and not get ripped off. Any other suggestions for my 97 Civic EX Coupe?

 

B16
These can be found in the JDM SIR and SIRII (among other JDM cars, which I don't claim to know all of which it came in) as well as the USDM 99-00 SI (EM1) and the 99-00 Canadian SIR.

Pros
160 hp stock
High RPM power
Fairly inexpensive
Good transmission
DOHC VTEC

Cons
113ft/lbs torque (very little more than a D16z6 stock)
Without knowing what you're looking for you can end up with a high mileage JDM model
Under 4k or so it feels just like a D16

B18B
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

damn i feel like a moderator

Under 4k or so it feels just like a D16."???

you need to specify which b16 and which b18, there is b16a, b16a2, b16b, b18a, b18b, b18c, b18c5, etc. Do a little research first.

 

aka no tq.

he's saying that you might buy a motor w/ high mileage and that B16s are weak just like d16s under 4k rpms

 

i rather get a b18 ls because i think b16 are nothing the only thing they got better than a ls is higher reline but the ls is my thing more things to do with it and if u slap on a vtec head with some other mods you will redline more just my 2cent

 

What about the Type R or GSR...? Those VTEC? Price? HP? Thnx for the info!

 

tell you what buy both, put the ls head on the b16 block, use what you need to put it in you car and sell me the rest really cheap

NOOOOOOOOB

 

I would go with the b18 just because of the difference of torque between the two. That and the b18 stock bottom ends are known to be pretty strong, and they have less compression so if you boost it, it won't be as much of a headache to a newer tuner. Good luck with your project
