ok, i need some help. ive got a honda del sol and i plan to do a swap. ive been doing my homework on the both B16 and B18. i really dont know much of b's cuz ive alwayz had a z6. now i want bigger. of course, about time hu? but anywayz i hear good things and bad about both worlds. but i still dont know. what i am aiming for is a good running turbo engine that i can keep my del sol up to par. please just let me know what would be the best. thanks

 

Get a trans am

 

there is a guy here in las vegas who ran 10s on a stock b20! ... his car was tuned very well though!

both are good choices, i would probably go with the b20, lower comp betta for boost!

 

any honda motor is good for turbo as long as you have the right set-up and a phenomenal tune.

it doesnt matter which motor you choose, you'll be fine. ultimately, the b16 isnt going to make as much potential power as a 1.8 or 2 liter, but i would stick with the b16 and save money for your turbo kit and tuning. boost that, get the kinks out, tune it, and you should be happy with the 1.6 for a while.

then when the b16 goes, buy a new motor and you will already have all of the turbo equipment that you need.

 

1.8, IMO. You can still rev high and slightly extra stroke is a good thing. No larger than 1.8 though.
