i know the specs on each motor but im wondering if anyone had personal input on the difference

for those who dont know...

b16b is the civic -r motro and the b18c5 is the teg. r motor..

Torque and CR (B16B has 10.8:1, JDM C5 has 11.1:1)

I've never done a B16B swap, but it would be almost identical to a JDM Type R swap.

hehe..didnt i say i knew the specs on each lol...

i mean i just mean does either feel quicker or stuff like that.. i mean it is a kinda stupid because specs are gonna tell u which is faster. but from anyone thats go the b16b motor??

Crap. My bad. I should have paid more attention to the post. Oh well. Uh, off the top of my head, I don't think anyone on here has/had a B16B (they're usually pricey and hard to get) but I'll let them speak for themselves...

yeah i know a place that gets shipments of em 2 times a month..but they only have like 1-3 units.. they are about $4100..1500 less then the teg.-r motor.. hmm..

I think if you have long-term plans you'd be better off with a C/C1 swap... less than either a C5 or a B16B and just about as much fun (sacicons knows...)

Yes, there's a "Replacement for Displacement". Its called Volumetric Efficiency.

the place that im lookin at has the 16b and the c1 at around the same cost

I'm still gonna say stick with the C/C1.
