I have the funds now to do a motor swap.

Should I go for a JDM B16A with around 50k mi

or

go for the B18C1 with 72k mi from my buddies 1998 GS-R.
He is parting out his car due to the fact that he got badly rear ended, but the front half of the car is fine.

 

there was a 96hb HX model? never knew that hehe =p.. well let's see b16a with 50k miles.. not to shabby.. but a 98 gsr motor most likely in still good condition.. and on top of that if u plug in all emmisions sesnors and parts.. u can Cruise on over to the REF and have any easier time getting it Certified by them.. .for me I'd choose the b18c for the better torque output over a b16a..but it's up to you.. I won't drive it.. you will.. good luck DS9

 

oops...I have a DX....DAMN KEYBOARD!!

 

your D and your H on the keyboard is pretty far apart

 

hahah take it easy on him..just a typing mistake MR.Keyboard Master.. but I wouldgo with the B18C because you'll be Faster than these GUYS

 

b18c1 is pretty tight yO!

 

ah... D and H is kinda apart heheh jk... i would go with the GSR motor i think it better then the b16..

 

yea!..go for the b18c....u will be satisfied.

 

your boy hookin you up wit a good price on at c1 swap? you gonna be able to get all the parts from him? if so i'd do that, cause orderin a b16 or buyin from a shop can lead to horrible nitemares....i'd go for the gsr....70k miles is still young on a honda motor...peace

 

whynot go h22

 

Maybe because he doesn't have enough funds. Also, it's much more complicated.

It's THAN not then Hehe...j/k

 

Get the c1 if you get a good deal. It undoubtly a better motor, but that's kind of high mileage for a swap

Other wise go with a b16 and build it, with the leftover $$.

B18C no joke.
