So B16 turbo or B18CR naturally aspirated?

Better in what way??? Obviously the B16 turbo will be quicker than and NA B18CR. But it depends what your after. Better in what way?

B16B is over priced and has bugger all torque compared to the B18CR (which is prob the same price atm, lol)

I personally like the vtec crossover stock on the B16A2 :D

for ease of fitment, buy an EK4 halfcut it will work 100% on the Vti :D

wat u mean by crossova ..better as in performance on a straight ?? he spewing cause he lost to a to some black levin wit a 2ov/4age turbo i told him dude its turbo worked mottor n ur car is stocked == but his a stubburn prick =.= so wat u guys tink the best way to go wit the coupe??

Crossover = the "noise" your car makes when it hits vtec... the booooBAAAAHHHHHHHH sound lol

Suggestions for your mate:
a) dont race on the streets
b) get some driving lessons
c) if money is no issue, b18cr or k20/24 provides a better platform for bigger HP.

Nice Qball lol

B18CR will be the best option, and you can turbo it later on
also its the coupe version so being a bit bigger u can always
do with the extra power...

B16B and B18CR have the same block so u can get stroker kit to make it
1.8L later down the track and also turbo if u want...

i prefer NA cause its just awesome the amount of power they make NA...

but if u say money aint a issue... $17k get your mate a K20A running....

if moneys no object, I'd be selling it and buying a car that is already turboed for the added convience of having it stock...

[Riviera]

but ryan what if you love ur civic lol, also saying "yeah i got a turbo civic" thats mad...

once you start talking boost, many do the numbers and find owning a 2jz or sr powered car outweigh the fun & money (and challenges) of boosting a great NA sportscompact car

I love NA, ITBs, all motor

but gangsta flutterz is something that will cost and arm and a leg to do properly in a stock NA car

there's block stregth to look at (sleeve kits), head work, drive shafts, etc

a number of things have to be ticked along the way, but most engines will do well running 7-9psi fine before shiz starts to fail
