Default 90 4Dr getting tired, Time for a new long block B20B vs. B18A/B

My daily driver is a 90 Integra LS 4Dr. It's got 225k on the clock. The previous owner must have ran low on oil since it has burned oil since the day I bought it. When I did the first oil change half the pan bolts were missing or finger tight. I've driven it for a year and now I'm going to give it some new life with a jdm long block.

As the title states I'd like to do a B18A/B or B20B.

I like that I would get a little more torque with the B20 and it's cheaper.

I would use all the sensors, IM and exhaust mani from my B18.

*Any reason I should get a B18A/B instead of a B20B?

Thanks,

Eric

If its just gonna be your daily driver then get the b18a/b block.The stock cylinder walls are extremely thin.Now if you plan on building the block, I would say b20 because you can fix the problem by relseeving.

If you have to worry about smog go with the b18.

We only need to pass the sniffer test in WA if the car is pre obd-II


B20 is cheaper than b18....

I'm not so worried about th cylinder walls since this car is not going to get the crap beat out of it. It's just a dd after all.
