If you have the funding just get a good turbo system and some suzuki vitara pistons and boost your D to the shiz
yes the B18C7/R is a better engine, but you're going to be paying double the price for 20%-40% power gain.Quote:

^^ yeah, it always boils down to budget. whenever ur chasing power, to get those extra few kw's, it always costs that much extra. so at least start off with a good foundation b18cr, its the best "bang for buck", rather than trying to get power here and there with a lesser base engine b18c2.
Or just buy my EG5 with a boosted EG6 JDM B16A for 11K
161kw at the Wheels :P
But I do have to say that the JDM B16A was far more punchy than I throught it would be before I boosted her..
126kw in a light EG is still fun though you always end up wanting more
Owned too many converted civics! B16A is a blast. If you're wanting the VTEC NA feel, it will definitely satisfy.
Keep in mind that a B16A EG with I/H/E mods will make 80 - 95 fwkW.
My B18C7 EG with those mods makes 128fwkW.
Sure a turbo conv will get you more, but I'd be interested in the track, hillclimb or real-world perf diff b/w EG's with the B18CR and the B16ATurbo.
I doubt the extra power would translate into better times (except down the strip) and I'm near certain they would not translate into better feel, better fun, or better dynamics!
The turbo car will definietely require a bigger pile of cash to set up - even without susp, clutch, chassis specs for a high-powered boosted car needing traction!
We have a Turbo Subie that is quicker in a straight line, off the mark and on the roll than my EG, but point to point, seat-of-the-pants, and driver's delight??? No contest!
I don't ever want to part with it!
(Plus - cost of resale - turbo will harder to get your money back! Look at what prices these respective cars go for...)
^^more details on ur car, interested in how it looks and the build
if ur chasing power then get the b18cr, be more fun.
b16's will offer the same amount of fun munching cars at the lights with a loud cross over.
or if u want real kick, do a b16/b20.
i have heard many people say that this really does throw u in your seat and out performs the b18cr easy.
for me im going to convert to b16 just because im not willing to throw 5-6k in for a b18cr. could get a k24 conversion for that.
p.s. think abt getting k series.
Woah didn't realise this thread was still going hahaha..
Changed my mind to probably going boosted B16 next year..
the boosted b16a will attract way more popo attention than the b18c
Who cares when there fully legal like mine :)Quote:
