Ok I dont really know a whole lot about hondas yet, but i was woundering which is a better buy for the money. A d15b vtec, turbo. Or buy a B18c1, this motor would end up being non turbo. I dont really want to spend a **** load of cash on a B-series motor, and i figured a d15b vtec with a turbo would be decently fast. Please post what your thoughts are. thanks

 

d15b will be just as fast as the b18c1 and a hell of a lot cheaper. but there are a lot of variables to this question.

 

I want it to be fast, but not like 10 second quarter mile fast. I plan on bagin my crx.

 

more info and then people will be able to give you better info but i like the d15b, my friend has one in his car and it's soon to be turboed. what turbo are you getting if you get the d15?

 

are you taking into consideration all the wiring that comes aftewards, not that there's alot, but you get the idea. and mounts, if needed? is the turbo kit complete with lines and ic?

 

Wiring on the D15B and GSR will be almost the same...

You will need to buy a mount kit for the GSR, and you will need to shave down the drivers side mount on the D15B so you can clear the timing belt. Obviously the GSR would be more reliable because it will be stock.....

I choose GSR mainly because you wont have nearly as many problems.

 

I plan on buying a complete turbo kit, not really sure from where yet, i need to research it more. This will be a daily driver also.

 

Any other info i should know before choosing which motor?

oh, I thought the d15 came with turbo already.

Well, how many miles on each engine? Go for the most reliable one man. Done right, a turbo charged engine will be just as reliable as an all-motor engine. Though there can be setbacks, and people will tell you otherwise. So if you know what you're doing, go d15, since it will be cheaper, and you'll get the 'awe' factor. Otherwise, go with the other motor for cheapness, and off the shelf reliability. As long as the motor was not abused.

 

no love for b16 or b18a/b? they would sound like a closer comparison

 

I plan on buying the motor from hmotorsonline.com so not really sure on how many miles would be on the motor. I think im going to plan on buying the d15b vtec and turbo it. I also plan on buying hondata for it. anyone have hondata on there d15b vtec, or know of anyone with it?

 

the b18c will be more reliable and easier to maintain then the turbo d15b.

 

b18c in the long run would be nice but if you on a budget a d15b turbo would be a quick bitch

 

Hahah wtf
