GSR B18C swap, lower compression, extra displacement. If you want to dig in a little more use a B16 head and intake manifoldon a B18C gsr engine. Then get a set of CTR B16B cams and you got a nice setup.

 

I am gonna tell you guys right now I don't really know a whole lot about cars but I am going to learn.
One thing I am sure of is that I want an engine swap. Sooooo... About this whole b16 with turbo...

Anyone know any sites that would be selling a nice b16 for kinda cheap?
Or maybe what car to look under at advance auto parts for a niceb16? (I work there. Yay discount!)

 

well the thing with the b16 is, its a higth hp motor, but low torque, if ur tight on money go with the ls its 145 hp but with 127 lbs torque, more than the gsr!!!, its also same price or cheaper then the b16 and its a great motor for boost

 

Whether its worth it or not is up to the person buying the swap. With that extra 900 dollars you could get the b16a and put a few mods on it to come close to/equal to the power the b18c puts down.

However, the b18c will always have more potential. You could open the b16 to 1.8L, but you could open the b18c to 2.0L.

More displacement will always have a better advantage in the modifications department. It's up to the person doing the swap to know what they want and the best way to achieve their goals.

 

i am new...i have a eg6, cx weak *** hell...should a do a swap or jux turbo it?..any help would be cool...also i am low on money...

 

The gsr is a much better engine. The extra $ is worth it. I didnt even consider a B16, I went right to the JDM Gsr.

 

count me as another vote for the gsr...the extra displacement really helps.

 

isnt it expensive to get an jdm engine....i am broke over here..lol..i guess i should jus get a integra then?

 

I spent $3,000 on the engine, tranny and all the bs.

 

The GSR is a great engine if your going do un upgrade swap you need to add some displacement. The extra torque is a ****ing blast to. I just complested my GSR swap a few weeks ago.
