I'm planning on getting my swap very soon. I was supposed to get a good deal on a b18c1 but that deal doesn't look like its going to fall through so i'm probably gona get a b16 2nd gen.

Considering the b16 is about a thousand less, would a thousand be enough for parts to make it as fast as a stock b18c1? I drive a 93 hatchback by the way.

Anyone have 1/4 times for their b16 2nd gen?

Should i just spend the extra thousand on the b18c1?

I'm having doubts about the b16 being good enough. I don't want to invest in something that will disappoint me. Please give me your opinions... thanx

 

This topic has been discussed 1000000+ times BUT, if you DONT want to be disappointed, just save the extra money and get the b18c1.

 

or get the b16 and spend another 600 on a n2o kit and be faster than a b18c1

 

i guess what i really want to know is there any advantages of a b16 over a b18c1?

 

or put the nitrous kit on the b18...and then you're faster than the b16 w/ n2o

 

or spend the 600 for the extra trq and hp, that will ALWAYS be on tap?

you`ll be MUCH happier with the b18c

yep...you WON'T be satisfied with a b16...trust me (no offense to you b16 guys, but you know it's true).....i'm pretty sure if you go b16 you'll have buyers remourse...i know i would spend the extra cash up front to get the GSR!

 

10-4 on that.

I love my B16a and all, but it's a torqueless wonder.

FS-B16a engine, cheap
