What would you choose if you have a Honda Civic EG hatch and you had the opportunity to install either of the two Type R engines? What will be your reason why you will choose the one over the other? Please I need your opinions...

 

I know you are from the PI and everything, but you should use the search feature of this website and find answers to many of your questions before you even ask them.

 

Use the search..and check out your wallet and bank account...the Peso is not doing too good on the world market against the mighty US dollar or the Japanese Yen...

 

I found a complete B16B here in the Philippines, it will cost around US$2900 plus US$400 for the installation.

The complete B18C5 will cost around US$3250.

 

That settles it..I'm moving back to Las Pinas, Metro Manila...and gonna make my own project Civic!!

 

I thought you knew, I live in Manila Mesa!!!!!!!!!!

Home of the ho-chi-min trail, or AKA the MiraMesa 500 on Saturday nights!!!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

dam thas cheap...
thas it im goin back

i heard theres no smog either and the cops can be bribe...hehhe

 

of course go for the b18c5
it's damn more powerful than the b16b
i had one install for my EG too!!

 

Usually they are around the same price. Go for the B18C5 for more power.

 

B18C5 -- it's more powerful and a lot cheaper. In fact, most people get theirs for free.

 

you should ONLY choose the B16B if you need it to keep your car in a certain class for club racing.

there is no other good reason to choose the B16B over a B18C5.

the B18C5 is SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL

 

yeah, no emmision standards and cops, you can't bribe them but you can outrun their stock Toyota Corollas.

 

I was just wondering if it would be practical to install a 1.8L engine than a 1.6L engine especially I am not into drag regularly. I just want to install either of the engines for the sake of having it and having a sleeper as well.

 

why wouldn't it be practical? you say u want to have the engine just to have it? well i would still go with a b18c5 cause you start with an awesome base if u decide to go with turbo/ any modification later on

i'm a sucker for the B16B, much more unique(atleast here), and do C5 internals and they'll never know what hit 'em...you can claim 1.6 all day long...

 

b18c5 pare'... i would have to say thats the best route unless you are gonna be bracket racing or something. damn i need to go back to PI that place is the shiz. car parts for dirt up the ying yang. SuPeR_Man would you send parts back to the states for people i need jdm eg headlights. lol

 

C5...no diggity!

 

C5

 

i would go with the b16b. much different and the c5 dosent have that much more power.

 

screw a B16B or an EG... I would drop a B18C5 in a fully polished Jeepney! You would need the extra torque of a B18C5 to pull all of those people around

 

LMAO

 

If I were you I'd get the b16b.
1st. Its a little more rare to have one especially in an eg hatch.
2nd. The civic type r engine has advantages over the the b18 with better compression, not higher, but better which creates a more stable tourqe throught the powerband. Less power loss when it switches over to v-tec.

 

1.6 1.8 AND UP SUCKA!!

 

Word..lets got Brian and Adam!! Lets do our own show and 500...hehehe!!

 

lol!! dude, that's wrong....unfortunately true...but still wrong..

either one is better than my pos...you can't go wrong with either of em!
