With 100k+ miles on the clock, the b17a was quite tired. The rings were shot, and I didn't have the money to rebuild it the way I wanted to, so I parted out the motor, and bought the JDM b18c.

 

you should have stroked it.

itr pistons/ ls crank/ gsr rods= cheap fun. and 1.8L!

I beg to differ. I parted out the b17a, and made quite a bit of money there. (sold the head, crank, bare block). Since it was already a b-series vtec, I reused my stock tranny (YS1) ECU (p61), and axels. I just needed a b18c short block, and I got a smokin good deal on that.

I get that one a lot. I traded them straight up for that set of mint Si's. I really liked how they toned the car down a bit. I am a big fan of OE styling. I think they look nice, clean, and subtle.

 

 

I have that same car you do only still running the B17a. I was wondering hows the B18. Is it better in anyway. And why the B18, not another B17 or B16. I drove B18 car and they don't pull as hard as B16's or B17's. What's your responce on it..

 

Looks great man. Hopefully sometime this fall I'll see it in person.

 

what kind of b18 did you drive? and b18s pull way much harder than b16 and b17 except for the b18b

good match. 2nd gen integra + si wheels =

Did you drive a B18C, or a B18A, or B18B? B18C's make more power, and more torque than any b61a, or b17a. That is why I chose to go with the b18c, as apposed to a b16, or b17.

I defineately noticed a difference with the b18c, especially low end. But then again I added a bunch of bolt-ons when i installed the motor.

 

si wheels look really clean on your car, on the b18c...b17's are nice too tho

 

Looks good....The bronze wheels weren't too bad looking either.

I drove all B18's and so far I haven't been amazed at any of them (stock), besides the B18c5. I shity part of the B18's are the intake manifold and the tranny.
GABE I see you do have the best investment on the skunk IM, what tranny are you using, the stock B17??? if so I see you posting alot is that you on the icon. lol
