ive been doing all this research on the b16a and have barely looked into the b18c.. just wanting some feedback on what you would do if in my place..
i own an EG (95 gli) and am definately doing a conversion.. ive been planning on the b16.. but been thinking.. would i be better off with a b18c.
ive heard the b18c has more torque.. i personally would preffer more torque... i dont have a budget, its just the higher the cost, the longer it will take me to save.. it will be used only for street-use.
what do you people think?
what are some pro's and con's of each?
thanks.

everyone is gonna tell you to go the B18C because it is badass......but you will be happy with either.

B16A is good enough + it'll be cheaper, than doing B18C....

i fink it would be best to talk to the guys that have done these conversions... and maybe find someone in your area so you can see how they turned out.

b18c man!!
otherwise a b16 + $$ used on mods instead of b18c will be equally as good!
I know a dude who has a twin turbo H22A Civic, and he recommends the B16A over both the B18C and the H22A. It's cheaper to drop in, easier to compliance/engineer and has about the same potential as the larger engines, if not more.
