buying a motor for turbo use in my 92 CX hatch....it's one of these three
99 B16
95 LS
95 GSR
which one would you get and why?

i would say the LS motor... just because its non v-tec and has longer 2nd gear

 

if you're including the LS trans....

 

all 3 will have the LS tranny with a type R LSD + Flywheel

 

Thats an easy question, I would get the b18c. The gsr feels so much better then the other when it comes to boost. This is coming from personal experience. Having test driven these motors after a bolt on turbo kit install , the gsr comes out the leader. The B18b is safer for boost just becuase of the lower compression, but vtec and boost rocks!

 

well on either motor I'll be lowering the compression, what about B20

 

b18c

 

Well then....B20/VTEC. Best of both worlds.

Are you resleeving, or going to run stock sleeves? A B18b bored out will cost less initially. That might help a bit.

 

All three are great, but I rather have the Dohc Vtec, because it will make more power. Go B18c1, more torque, hp, and faster spool.

 

don't want an lsvtec or crvtec, all of these motors would be resleeved

 

99 B16
95 LS
95 GSR

Pick One.

Why? Because with the proper research, preparation, installation, and tuning...All of these are winners.

 

NOT more torque. The B18B will produce more torque than the B18C, almost guaranteed.

 

anyone else....
and where can I find a cheap motor online?

 

b18c1 the best...

 

I would go for a resleeved GSR motor. Why? oil squirters and crank/block girdle

 

LS seems to be the cheapest way though, stuff some forged internals in....boost a good 9-14psi and you're good to go, with hondata of course

 

i fail to understand ur reasoning

 

if your not going to rebuild it,id say the 99 B16 cause its newer and most likely has less milage,but you are so gsr

no it doesn't. First two gears are the same in LS and GSR trannys
