Hey There,

I just got me a 93' Civic Hatchback CX..and I need some suggestions on which motor I should go with B16a2 or B18b1??..BTW, Which motor would be best for turbo..reason asking because, I'm gonna be boosting the motor..also what motor mounts do I used??

 

b18b1 would be a good motor to boost.

 

I'd say either would be a good choice. If you can save some $$ by going with the B18B you could put it towards the turbo kit.

You will use some Integra mounts and Civic to install: (chart borrowed from older post )

B 1 6

 

i disagree...

 

I agree

 

how can anyone agree that b16 is better to turbo!! go with the b18 more torque and low end power.

 

dude.... where did you get that diagram???? I need to find stuff like that for my h22 swap

 

holy crap so many stinking nOObs.....

want to know which ENGINE is better?

one word B16 you will get almost 20 posts'

then you try B18

is it really that hard?

how bout looking on other pages before?

what is it with the kids today? you all can't take the time to find it by yourself? how do you think us guys who started out 10 years ago felt? we had to do everything by ourselves!!!!

i converted my dx to si before anyone had written how to do it...

LEARN

trial and error......where are you at kamin.....i'm sick of seeing these posts!!!

 

i see where your comin from but alot of people dont have the money for trail and error.......**** aint cheap

 

very true, but even if you know what you are doing it is not cheap. I think the gist of it is that you have to actually do some things in order to truly learn. Hell, I have read **** on here, in magazines, in Helms manuals, in books, etc. but I always feel like I only learn it when I actually do it (and I have not done much, so even though Ive read alot of info, I still consider myself very much a novice).

Plus I think alot of it (what chad is saying) is good old fashioned MB frustration.

lol im right here bro
but there is nothing you can do

you think this is bad?
try the FI forum
every other post is eithre

what turbo for this setup
does this setup sound good
what fuel setup should i use

theres nothing you can do about it

 

but, guys, why search when you can **** the people off who know the answers to your questions?? and i think the B16A is a good choice for turbo... i like the airflow characteristics of the head, but the B18 has good torque. a good LS/VTEC-T application

 

all you guys are wrong...hahhaha

b18b1 with b16 tranny

 

you'll appreciate vtec alot more w/ boost...either or i guess...im a vtec fan though.

 

b18b1. becuz l8ter on down the road u can always put a b16a2 head on it. ls-vtec

 

this I AGREE WITH 110%, but i don't have any time slips to prove why this is better! oh well all i have is real life applications! b16 vs b18b with 4.4 final drive!

The b18b would pull out by 2-4 cars, would shut down at 110 and the b18b would still be in front.....just barely but yet stil in front!

 

Whoa, slow down. Try not to elaberate too much ***** phucka.

For boost I would recommend B18B1. This is my suggestion for money wise. However the higher compression b16 will utilize full poltenial horsepower from turbo, and esp. having vtec. As most said, either way...
