ZeForce already said reliable B20 for $1500, so why does this topic title & thread still exist?!?!

yes i agree, b20 conversions will have lots of torqueQuote:

more than 350nm from a b20?? highly dought it
Because this thread is not about B20's. It is about B18c vs b16a , and the options with each engine.
VTi-R , IMO spend your money on your existing engine.
spend your money on me i will make you happy. But yes definatly a b18c if you can afford it. Torque is to me more importand in a high reving honda engine that outright power. My Dc2r made 120 odd kw and 300+ odd NM-T and it was a freak on the track
I only mentioned B20VTEC as an option since it seems like the OP had overlooked it. Swapping from a B16a to a B18c, while being a better engine, does seem like a big waste of time and money IMO. If you want bang for buck and dont want a turbo then swapping out the bottom end with a B20b is the next best thing and Im talking first hand going from a B16a to B20VTEC.Quote:

Kinda rethinking the issue. Just for bang for buck and the learning experience and trying and seeing first hand what works best play with your b16a. Do your headers intake cat exhaust a set of cams maybe a port and ecu them later if you want throw a different bottom end under your b16 head. Bump up compression and capacity any you will have a freak on your hands
B16a has good potential as well..play ard abit..
I did see a EG with B16a just with IHE/ecu runs on Par with a S2000 stock..
B18c FTW
Off topic B20B FTW
money is always the ememy!!!!!
What rpm did the b18 make that torque at?Quote:

Im assuming you have done all this and are talking from experience?Quote:
