b16a vs b18c is it worth it
 

i have read a lot of dissing on the b16a but the numbers i got was a b16a with 170hp 113tq for $2250 for a complete changeover and a b18c with 180hp and 126tq for $3149 for the complete change over so i'm curious if it is worth the extra $900 to get that extra 10 hp and 13 tq or if it would be better to get the b16 and drop the $900 in to say full exhaust and intake

i have both swaps and i would say either one would be a great choice. i heard the b16 is better for turbo's so if your looking to do that in the future maybe the b16 is a better choice

thanks man and yeah boost is definitly in my sights

RE: b16a vs b18c is it worth it
 

the only thing i recommend doing is buy a new clutch and flywheel and new axles and plugs wires and cap. this way you know those parts are brand new. I used one of the axles that came with the swap and snapped it like 3 months later. Autozone has lifetime warranty on there gsr axles so i suggest getting them somewhere that does that just in case..

ya a lot of people will try to put down the b16, but thats a nice engine and I would just save the money and get it.

what about for the b16

RE: b16a vs b18c is it worth it
 

well i have a gsr and would never get a different one, and i think the gsr is better for bbost cause the b16a is a high compression motor

RE: b16a vs b18c is it worth it
 

yea gsr axles can be used on a b16 also thats what i have on my civic..

i don't know which one is better for boost just seems like everyone says b16
