so.. 2 choices here, i plan to boost it, which block would be better for turboing. is the b18 worth the extra 1500? over the b16?

 

why is the b18a1 more than the b16? unless that was a typo and you meant b18c1

 

nope. these are full cars im talking about, sorry.
both hatches, b16 is 2800, due to it not being air cared. the b18a1 is 4000, its a bit done up.. exterior wise.

 

but i heard vtec doesnt like high boost.. how high are we talking? like 20+psi? or 10+,

 

anyone?

 

b16's love boost i would def. take the b16 and where the hell did you hear vtec doesnt like high boost lol... all matters on how you build it and how much boost you put to the motor... and most of all... your tune

well im shooting for the 300-350 whp
this car will see the track on occiasions (Amature Drag races)
the b18 not handle boost as well as the b16?

 

b18 and b16 handle boost just the same and realistically if ur gonna boost u mite wanna consider a rebuild of the engines anywayz just so u make sure u dont blow something

 

my boy just got done building a b16 on boost and he made 350whp. basic setup to but the whole b16 block was redone, new rods, pistons and sleeves whihc is important if u wanna be serious with ur boost. head is pretty much all stock with injectors and some other nicknacs and hes actually running a pretty small turbo setup which i can get the specs on later. he tuned on s300 and made like 350 sumthin on 18 pounds.

 

I have a stock b16a2 vtec boosting 7 lbs and works very well, all stock internals with the right injectors,fuel pump, fuel rail, intake manifold,etc.....its a daily driver/race car ...

 

if u r willing to spend alot of money boost the b16 it takes more tuning but u will end up with a fast *** car but if not boost the b18 its alot easier
