i got a question? 1 have a 00 civic si.. im thinking droping a 98 b18c1 block and use the 16a2 head. wat u guys think is it worth it?

 

Not unless you replace the pistons. You lose some compression because the B16As combustion chambers are bigger.

 

You lose about .2 compression (at least I know this is the case with the B16A head [first gen])... either get the head milled or get a thinner headgasket and you're good. The ITR head is a worked over Pr3 B16A head anyways.

 

cuz. wat im tryin to do is b18c1 block b16a2 head then boosted. cuz b16 dont have much tq .
here's my turbo set up....t3t4,head gasket,440 injector, 255 fuel pump, apex s-afc
just want to boost 9psi

 

Than just take the .2 compression hit, use an OEM headgasket

 

you may loose about .2 in your compression but you will still have more torque than your 16. but do use the 18 block i just didi the same swap to my crx. i went from a 16.0 to a 15.2 in 1/4.

 

i don't think it matters cuz all i kno is that it makes yur car go faster then gsr block with gsr head. Why? I have no fukkn clue. lolz

 

Boost it up.

I hope im reading this wrong. You are running 15's with a 1.8 block and b16 head in a CRX? Or a poor mans R? I hope not
