b16a or b18a conversion?

[iwantvtec]

yer just wanted specs..... which has more kw? and torque?

[fatboyz39]

PLease use that search button!

[TheSaint]

i would say its a matter of common sense...

1.8 vs 1.6 = 1.8 is going to win

the only differences are feeling and what you want, both engines are similar, the b18 is more gruntier and has more torque were the b16 is less grunty but is a little more revvy

if u want a faster car get the 1.8, if u want a nice daily that u can have fun in get the 1.6

as for specs... theres like at least 2 dedicated threads on this and probably 10 more... and yet still more threads like this pop up in noob forum lol search my freind

EDIT: b18c vs b16a

[tekung89]

B18a ftw, think of it in terms of power difference (not much) and price difference (big difference)

[Benson]

OMG.. geez guyys can you use some more common sense. B18a is non-vtec with shit house gearing how the hell is it gonig to beats a b16a???

Do your research before posting

lol

that's what i was thinking to? the (non vtec part)


i think ppl **** eyed the b18a for c

[TheSaint]

completley forgot about the non vtec b18 lollike in my brain it just doesnt count haha
yeah its crap

dont have to nail me to a cross over it tho =/ simple correction would have sufficed

[d15z1SUX]

b18a = 98kw

b16a aus spec = 118kw

or something similar to that

b18c = 127kw

[IZY-10]

if standard not much at all between the two. Believe it or not. The gearing doesnt help the B18a though

[xtat1k]

vtec vs non-vtec and iwantvtec should go for b16a since its vtec. lol

[TheSaint]

definatly^^

b18a is crap... u will waste alot of time and screwing around wishing u had got a b16a lol

[dc2dc2dc2]

b16a for wank factor so u can say VTEACKK y0~!
honestly not much diff between the two
your car is still gonna be an 18 second car.
lol

[d15z1SUX]

theres a world of difference between the b18a and b16a

[90LAN]

just go jdm b16a 125 kw or go for b18c 125kw
similiar in price these days
wouldnt waste your time on the b18a unless u turbo it
stock eg with a b16a does mid 15's

[pedro]

fck ppl talk so much shit about the b16a.

but they dont come to think its still a 1.6 motor that shits all over any other 1.6 motor out there.

go b16a over b18a.

if not much price diff just go b18c

[dupac->]

yeah when i was in a workshop getting body work done to my teg there was a whole pile of lancers in there, i poped my head under the bonnets to have a look and they only had tiny basic sohc 1.6's in them n i was like wtf how pathetic, redlines on the taco wer only like 6krpm... my teg only juss started at 6krpm lol i dont know anything about lancers but they looked pretty poor vs b16a civic... even the sohc vtec 1.6 would prob give em a run for ther money

dohc vtec 1.6 vs sohc basic 1.6
honda really know what they are doing

[d15z1SUX]

yeh even d-series arent crap. they are still better than other motors of the same capacity.

[dupac->]

what ever is better value or withing budget.

if i only had budget of not too much i rather go b16a over b18a for sure.

[Tu88y]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Not sure what your talking about but I got Vtec with my B18A
lol

[d15z1SUX]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

lol


imaginery vtec ftw!!! lol. either you're imagining you have vtec or you have a ls/vtec conversion or really you're engine is a b18c.

[iwantvtec]

yer i recently got quoted for the whole b16a conversion for bout 3.5 by akmotorworks...? good price eh? yer to be honest i prefer the b16a, the vtaaak screams louder yo!

[TheSaint]

that sounds like a good deal, remember to check out wer the motror comes from, how it was serviced and how many kms are on it

also make sure if u want p/s and a/c that wether or not it is in the package =)

wish i could get a b16a in my civic =) i miss vtec from my integra so much lol

[Tu88y]

imaginery vtec ftw!!! lol. either you're imagining you have vtec or you have a ls/vtec conversion or really you're engine is a b18c.

Nah seriously I have a B18A and it has Vtec
I don't know how but I do
Maybe I should stop playing the Vtec sound with my sound system

[d15z1SUX]

have u read the engine code stamped on your engine block? maybe it says b16a? lol. anyway have a look there if you havent already.

[jonoz]

its impossible its a b18A..thats the engine used in the DA9..the only b18 which has vtec is the b18C used in the 94 DC2...the b18B was the 101KW one used inthe integra GSi..
so obviously the B16A would be a better bet.
it has vtec..and its good..

[RMN15N]

ME. too..

wtf is going on..
;)

Exacty

[Limbo]

b16a + boost = lots more fun

[jonoz]

Boost..Boost...i love boost..if only i have boost!

There's a thing called LS Vtec

[jonoz]

There's a thing called LS Vtec

LS VTEC is a hybrid right
not too sure but its using a B series DOHC VTEC head and using a non vtec block..

[redinteg]

Yep,
For example, "jony wanted vtec on his integra GSI so he had a B16a head put on it"

[rpm boy]

b16a for wank factor so u can say VTEACKK y0~!
honestly not much diff between the two
your car is still gonna be an 18 second car.
lol

As opposed to a vn commodore that would to 30 sec =P

If you already have an eg5 stick to b16a cause its faster and u dont need to engineer it, or if u dont get a b18c and kill most things on the road... although an Eg with a b16 is going to beat most (stock) turbo cars anyway so its a win win situation
... B18a is gay

[Limbo]

b16a in an ek pulls low 15s down qtr.
b16a in a eg pulls high 14s down the qtr.

dunno about b16s beating stock turbos, the WRX & s15s do 14s down the qtr.

but a b16 + boost = 12-13s ;) no worries

[rpm boy]

ok well b16 with i/h/e will... we live in sydney most of the ppl with rexies and s14's (no offence if u drive them) cant drive for shit. when i had my em1 with induction and exhaust unless a rexie had a 6grand start they have no chance and 6pound on a turbo car isnt really alot, but then again who has a turbo car on stock boost these days

[redinteg]

I dont think you could beat a wrx with just i/h/e unless your eg had been stripped to the shithouse.

And if it was being driven by a grey haired man (the wrx)

Also a stock wrx dosnt run 6psi its closer to 12psi

[AzKik-R]

Yep,
For example, "jony wanted vtec on his integra GSI so he had a B16a head put on it"

Does anyone know where one could get a good head job? lol
i reckon, take the b18a, then get a head job :D

[AzN_Allstar]

the b 18 is much better

[rpm boy]

This was in my em1 that was beating rexies, the beauty of a rexy is the awd and if they f*** up there takeoff then they got nothing....

[Nepolian]

If you're going to spend the $ doing swaps, get the B18C. Cause youll be spending the extra $ doing up the B16A. Even though the B18 has only 10kw more on paper. It has a fatter torque range, which would also make the car livlier to drive.

[nvdvtc]

okay i had a b16a in my car stock did 89.9kw AFW its got power but no torque.
so i did a b18c7 type R conversion and i did 135kw AFW thats all internal stock should pump 100 to 110kw AFW its more torque and has power i say b18c7 but if u want turbo b16a go for it. its up to you =].

[Limbo]

b16 turbo has about double the torque of a stock b16 and with a 10PSI hit about 150kw atw ;). Got some dyno charts to prove it
