New B18 non vtec or used b16 vtec?

[Cold Fusion]

hey im just curious, i have NO idea what to do at the moment about my car...

i could either rebuild my current engine which died and get cams and forgies and stuff (redy for turbo) or i could get a b16 vtec engine and just put that in..what would u rather do?

im lookin more towards the new b18 nonvtec engine, coz then i can keep my car for longer (fix up all the little stuff wrong with it too), then when its all nice and purdy id look at turbo.

but yeh what would u do in my situation?

thanks

turbo b18 !!! b16a is so overated

[locote]

B18a with aggresive cams will blow a b16a away!!

Yeah B18A turbo. Show those B18C what B18A can do.

Turbo b18b's are fun, i can vouch for that

b18 turboooooooooooooooooooooooo

[preludacris]

think the tribe has spoken ..

i mean the b16a is nice, but the thought of doing internals of the b18 just will blow it away.

Hey guys the b16a is vtec on integras and the b18 is a gsi engine is that right ?

the only integra to come with a b16a is the DA6 ('93 model?)
b18a came with the da9 integras
whereas the b18b came with the dc4 (gsi integra)

B18A.. lol.. but what kind of work would you need to do?? to get quick??

with non vtec motors, i wouldnt bother modding it at all, it seriously isnt worth the amount of money u put in for such minimal gains!
non vtec, go FI imo, or if u an NA fanatic, do an engine transplant!

Let me raise another question:


If you are going to turbo a non-vtec b18 is it manditory to build up the block (ie forged internals) or is that only in the case of pushing serious power/boost pressure?
