which would be better? Turbo in a b16a or b18c? VTir b18c and Sir b16a both jSpec

i am looking to evetaully Turbo my engine but i am deciding on wat engine to get be4 hand?

i assume they are both going into your eg... i'd say b16a. Will be very responsive and rev god damn high

yes into a EG sorry. okkk kool
soo so far b16a is the way to go

b18c... larger displacement = more torque

torque = fun

you'll find a turbo b16, with the lower peak torque and peak hp, you won't have much need(or want) to rev things as high

man, had to read ur title 3 times to get what u wanted to say, newho, id go b16 with turbo, b18 yea has more torque but with turbo, dw about driving in the rain, up to u, im quite sure theres a b18c vs b16a page lying around here, if not try honda-tech

covered too many times man!!
search ffs!!
which one better, def a b18c.
but it also depends on how much ur willing to put into ur setup, and how far u plan on goin!

i am wanting a fast 12 sec 13 sec street car.

easy done with a turbo b16a running 9-10psi imo.
but...


u must have slicks.

B18C.. because of displacement.

lol, just bore a b16 to b17 :D

b16 would prolly be a bit better on street turboed due to it having less torque down low so you will have a bit more traction, but if you are looking into drag racing it go the b18 with slicks.

anyway search the bang for buck turbo threads and i think james aka blkcrx has covered this many times before heaps of articles on it......

Traction wont be all that different if u have a b16 or b18 with a turb app included to it.
Same stuff pretty much.
Controlling the throttle and knowing when to full throttle it is the key.
Experimental driving in my car has proven that in 1st and 2nd gears, givin about 50-60% throttle achieve a better time (on st radials, and no lsd)
Once ur car grabs traction then floor it.
Flooring in the lower gears wont get u very far, if ur tyres a shat, mite as well do a good burnout :p
