I have recently been looking to drop either a B18c (gsr) or a B16a1 into my LS integra. I have been hearing many differant things about both engines and I want to know which one people think are better. So if anyone replies to this please include why either one is better than the other.

There's no replacement for displacement. b18c5, or if you're cheap, b18c1.

oh yeah, my b18b1 is nearly geriatric. 140k miles.

 

keep the b18b or get the b18c

 

don't get a B16A1. those motors don't have enough torque to pull you around. the displacement is smaller too. maybe if you put a B16 head on your B18 block then it would work, but i don't suggest going with straight B16 swap.

 

i did a b16 swap into my ls. Its bad ***!!!! I high revving!

 

go ls/vtec

 

ditto...go LS/vtec (which i implied) i'm planning to do that.

 

Apples VS. Oranges

 

just buy the complete B16 swap and just use your block instead of the B16 one.... w/ the b16 pistons...

 

LS/Vtec or LS Turbo

 

Rebuild your current LS motor and boost that motha sucka.
