I posted earluer about a b16. I can possibly get a b18 for less and do the same things to it. My question is..is there much difference in the modifications to make the engine fit. Also correct me if im wrong but should gain a little more power. Thanks in advance

 

Swaps are almost the same. The b18 is obviously 1.8 liters as apposed to 1.6. So yes the b18 has slightly more power. Most people prefer the b18

 

Regarding power, it would depend on the specific B16 and B18 being referenced since the OP didn't clarify which ones are in question.

 

dont forget the 2.0 letter known as the b20.

 

Ls Vtecs are great too

 

The b16 is first gen and the b18 is a b18c...im kinda fustracted abt it cause im not sure if i can do this...i guess its just what i have to be patient....but what i dont have. Thank you...16 or 18..the best and easiest swap?

 

Same swap, B18C if you can afford it.

 

The b18 is cheaper and please correct me but will produce more after all is done and tuned right hopefully

 

Are they really cheaper?

A B18C will make more power from the get go.

 

Yes they actually are cheaper b16 for 2400 and a b18 for 1800 roughly

 

B16A and B18A/B18B are generally regarded as being equally quick. The B18C is faster than both of those. If you can get a B18C for less, definitely get it. The swap costs the same regardless of which motor you get. It will cost more if one of those engines has a hydro transmission attached to it.
