Looking at daily driveability and "real world" (in traffic) power. Am I going to notice a big difference in the B18 over a ZC?

Basically, it's $1500 more for the B18 (installed) than the ZC... that's new paint! So if that 10hp and ~20lb/ft isn't a noticeable difference, I don't want to spend the extra cash.

 

Big difference. B18 or B20 are killer for daily drivers. I wish my daily driven 91 Si had some torque. It would make traffice a lot easier. A 1.8 or 2.0 in a CRX/EF hatch just feels better, lit that what sould have been there from factory.

20lb/ft is a big difference in torque. thats more than the torque difference between b16 and b18c. and people always talk about how much they can feel that. so i would say, yes a b18 is much better than a zc.

 

2 different worlds brah!

 

b18s kill zcs

 

b18

 

Go wit da EW4's, they got mad torque

jB

 

if a ZC was anything other than a motor, it would be a turd, and a very stinky one at that.

 

hey Speed Phreak, how much power is your car putting out right now?

 

Sounds like you guys pick the B18! How is the gas mileage in an EF, it's 25/31 in a 'Teg so I figure it has to be about the same as my D16 in a Civic (~400 lbs lighter).

I guess its a reliable swap, I see a ton of Integra's on the road.

gas milage is prolly not as good as your d16 b/c the b18 weighs more. it will be better than the teg's. just dont hammer on it all the time and it'll be fine

 

yeah, it doesn't have VTEC so it can't be that bad! B18 has way more ***** than a ZC!
