well i sold my b18c coupe and i currently ahve a 93 si hatch, i was wondering how it woud compare to my old coupe if i threw in a b16 outta an 00si? in my coupe i had intake header 2.5 exhaust, but in this car i will only do intake, header and gut the cat and throw on an axleback because i want it to be a lil quieter (the coupe was insanely loud with a dunk, and the hatch is gettin a thermal research axleback) i just want to know how there goin to compare, i know its gonna lack the torque but i also love how the b16 revs soo freely

 

keep in mind, your coupe probably weighed as much as our damned Si hatches, now can you imagine that with a b16? especially if your not gonna surpass the usual i/h/e ?

go b18c, you`ll be happy...i know i am

Exactly

 

yea, but i know its not gonna be as fast, will it keep up with newer si's atleast? i am going to do some mods, but i wanna do smart mods that ppl cant tell or that cops cant hear
i think i will be happy with this motor, def better then my 212000 stock d16z6

 

If you were used to B18C torque... your gonna get annoyed at the torque lacking b16... not saying its a bad motor thats what i did but it definatly could have used some bottom end

 

ok, im fine with the no torque thing, i mean hell i had a d16 in this car till now , and i am used to driving my friends 00 si and i dont mind it, what would this kind of set up run?

 

low to mid 15's

 

go with the 1.8

 

save a thousand dollars for 10 horse..

 

i'd save up some more money and go with the b18c for your hatch.

mods in the enigne are fin just buy parts with carb EQ number then you can tell the cops to suck it when they pull you over for having modified ****.

 

curious....how much does a 93 Si hatch weigh?

 

well i had my car weighed and it weighed 2300 with me in it

 

Curb weight of a stock 93 Si is 2,326lbs

 

b18c1 nothing less.

 

well personally i think the b16 will do me fine, atleast its a good start, and i got it for a really good price , so im happy, i guess it pays to have connections, so far i have 2500 into my hatch with the price or motor and car, and its close to keepin up with the 18,000 i had into my coupe, jus doesnt look as nice

 

BE FASTER GET THE B18C.

 

you should be fine with the b16 in the hatch. you should be able to smoke si dohc vtec easily just from the weight advantage.

B18C

 

B18c

 

whats stoping you from making boring out the B16 to a 1.8 lt. From what I understand the B16 revs higher, the only benefit was the displacement. I may be wrong.
