Re: whats better b16 or b18
the search function is pretty useless on this site.. but he should have checked the FAQ section. Near the bottom there are 3 or 4 discussions about which is engine is better.. considering he only has 3 posts, i doubt we'll hear from him again.

B16A2, IMHO.
Only problem is, they're hard as hell to find!
You'll probably have to settle for a B18...
- 160 HP
- 4.40 Final Drive (fun to drive)
- 0-60 in 7 Seconds (hauls ***)
- VTEC redlines @ 8200 RPM (conservatively)
- 40+ MPG (if you can keep your foot out of it)

^^ I'm sure he's kidding, there is a massive overage of them where i live, people sell them for $500, but not many people want them, not enough power...B20Z and B18C FTW

if it aint a type r then it aint a tite car, if it aint a type r then it aint a tite car
ahaha thats a tite honda rap song.
but anyways... i just finished my b18c1 swap in my ej6, gotta say i love it. i then drove my buddies em1 with a b16 for the first time, im gonna say i like my c1. but price is something that you gotta consider...nothing wrong with a b16a though, a little less sought out than say the b18c1s, b16b's, b18c5's

Re: whats better b16 or b18
steer clear of b16 please. the stroke is too short, no torque at all. its all about the 1.8 or 2.0
look into getting a b20 at least or even an ls if you got little cash. then work your way to ls/b20 vtec
gsr and itr are awesome machines. parts are readily available to modify to your liking

Re: whats better b16 or b18
i LOL everytime i hear/see someone say "for get b16s, go with a ls/b20, then go lsv/b20v later." i mean seriously, ill take my lil b16 over a ls/b20 anyday, especially when you want to add vtec and then look for a b16 head. its just dumb all the way around. ls/b20 came with shitty transmissions and most people looking to upgrade their trans look for what...b16 right?...right.
