Which of these would be best to drop in a 91 civic hatch:

b18b1
b18c1

i was down at the junkyard, and there's over 10 integras that have those b18's in them.... what's the engine code for a type r engine btw?

 

either one would be good...it depends on what you want...do you want VTEC or no VTEC?? Oh and the code for a US Spec ITR is b18c5.

 

b18c1 is that a GSR? Stock for stock, I'd go with the B18c 1 or 5...

 

uhhmm hey can someone tell me the exact engine code for the type R and the GSR? arent they two different motors? and how do I kow which b18 has vtec? (just by looking at the code)

 

type-r engine code is B18C5, a B18a is the LS motor from the 2nd gen integra, B18B is the Ls motor out of 94 and up integras, B18C1 is GSR(it has vtec),B16A(vtec),B18C5 is Type-R(of course vtec)

 

Do you want all motor or turbo? Turbo go with the b1, all motor madness go for the C1. It's that simple!

 

Theres a big price difference between the c1 and c5, obviously go with c5 if you have the $$$

 

what if I didnt want to go turbo... but didnt want to do any internal engine mods? What would you suggest to drop in a civic? I'm sure I want vtec tho.

If I can pic up a b18 for dirt cheep, would the swap still cost relatively the same as swaping a b16?

 

If you get the B, you can always get VTEC later down the road by doing the LS/VTEC swap... it all depends on how much money you have to spend bro.

 

Which "b" are you referring to? the b18 or b16 ? haha I know this is difficult cause I'm a n00b but thanks for putting up with me

and I want to spend as little as possible... I keep hearing b16 b16 b16~!!! but I was down at the junkyard and saw over 10 integras with mint condition engines...so I'm trying to get as much info as possible

 

Instant message me on AOL and we can talk quicker... I hate being a postwhore! You can find my AOL IMer name in my profile! Ill be waiting

 

haha good point.. hang on a sec gotta make a aim name etc

 

just to refresh ur mind...

B18B1 = no VTEC
B18C1 = VTEC
B18C5 = Type R VTEC

I guess if u want VTEC go for the B18C1... cuz the C5 is expensive.
But if u dont have enough money for a C1, then go for the B1... chill... save up and buy a VTEC head. Simple as that.

also check out the B16 engines... they may be cheaper than the B18C1 if u cant afford it but REALLY want a DOHC VTEC engine.
