I'm forward to buying a complete b16a1 shortblock for my 95 civic hatchback but i'm new on the b-series swaps. I was wondering which head would be better on these (b16a1) shortblock, (b16,b18c1,b18c5) or which head would be the BEST for TURBO setup?? Also what ecu would I be needing?? what harness?? and what distributor?? What Intake manifold has the best flow rating?? And to my knowledge I know that the b16 tranny has the shortest gearing so what tranny would you guys recommend??

 

I could be a douche and tell you to search, but i think that kinda defeats the purpose of these forums.
Well for simplicity i would say just get an obd1 b16 head that way you won't have to worry about which dizzy to use. You don't wanna use a gsr head b/c it will raise your CR and since you said you plan on boostin you don't want that. A ITR head would be good too because of the factory port job and the good cams but also very pricey, you would also either have to use an obd1 dizzy or cut the plug off and hardwire it to your harness.
I would say either use the p30 or chip a p28 ecu. With the p30 you will need to wire in a knock sensor P28's are very versatile
You can use your stock harness. And its known that the ITR intake manifold is the best, but you can get an AEBS typhoon IM for cheaper than an ITR IM, and since its based on the ITR IM i think its the best choice.
b16 tranny w/factory lsd would be your best bet....unless you have the money to burn on a jdm ITR tranny with factory lsd and the super sexy 4.75 final drive...either way make sure to get an upgraded clutch while its out of your car....since you plan on boostin.

 

hey man I appreciate you advices. Thanks for the time
