my point exactly i dont know if the OP is using a B18C or a B18B?!
Sometime ago i was looking into dropping a B18B2 into my EK1. reason being for the B18B2 is because its alot cheaper, & im sure i can find a wrecked GSi for pretty cheap...
Its still an 'upgrade' from the d16y4, an extra cam & 200cc more. Much better motor for boost aswell, rods arent toothpicks like the D-bangers....
-
The B18B is another engine that I think is underrated. I drive my brother's with I/H/E every now and then, and it pulls fine. Much faster than a D-series and without the bigger price figures associated with the B's and K's.
The only let-down with it is the GBox ratios and FD, but if you can find a hydro B16A GBox for like $500 +/- that would fix this issue nicely.
On the other hand, if you're considering a B18B upgrade why not consider a AUS delivered H22A? It would only set you back an extra $500 for the motor at most, and then you're looking at 150kw of DOHC VTEC goodness! I'm heard the 2.2L torque in a Civic really is something to behold 
-
B18b pulls much better than D-series, but again, suffers the same thing, runs outta puff pretty quick after 100km/h lol, but certainly a worthy upgrade should u blow ur D-series
Ive seen H22a conversion, pretty good, correct me if im wrong, but wouldnt doin h22a eliminate ac and ps? h22a is quite the motor, pulls hard all round
-
I'm sure you can run AC and PS if you're desperate. There are ways to re-route the pumps and all that stuff, or you could get a 1/2 radiator etc to create more space. But hey PS is overrated IMO like ABS lol
-
the only reason i would drop a B18B in my ek1 is because on a stock block they take well to boost. ~250whp on a stock block sounds good to me....
-
B16 blocks can take 250WHP also.
Not sure about D's though...anybody tested?
-
are we talking about how much the actual block can take before cracking or as in the bottom end? lol
A friends cousin eg, b16 made around 320hp on dyno, so im assuming that B16 can hack more, but not for very long, stock bottom end as well
With regards to D16, around 150kw is the limit, before it spits out a rod, just from what iev seen and heard
-
ive seen alot of H22A wit no air con n PS....alot to sacrifice.
D16 are hopeless i recon! unless you turbo it!
