i will have the cash to afford both swaps, i was really leaning towards b18c1 cuz of the price though

will the b18c5 be a strait drop? or will it require new wiring and mounts?

i know the b18c1 will be a strait drop into my 92 cx, but b18c5 is 'the holy grail' of the b's... sooooo

any suggestions?

 

if you dont plan on going to a turbo or an SC, then go with the C5, you can always sell off the parts that you upgrade, like the cams and such. but you wont go wrong with the C1 either.

 

What he said^^^


Also, the swap should be indetical with either. They have the same mounts.

Id deff get an LSD with it no matter if you choose the c1 or not. (the c5 should already have it)

 

how high is the compression rate on the c5?

turbo would be nice... but i doubt i could afford one.. after the swap id pretty much be virtually broke..

bleh

hmm..

C5, i think requires new wiring

 

around 11:1, depending on if its US spec or not. withthe c5 you will need to either convert the car to OBD2 (just a harness) or convert the motor to OBD1 (a lot more work) but still not too hard. you wont be mad about a C1 though. Trust me

 

hehe yeah i know c1 would make me happy.. anything is better then a 70 hp car.

hmm..

compression rate is to high for the c5

i wana go forced induc. c1 sounds best.

 

try to get US spec, it has 10:1 and J-spec has 10.6, making the US spec much more boost friendly.

 

would jspec pass smog?

 

it can, but its a PITA. im going throught hat right now, trying to round up the US spec parts i need.[:@]

 

which would be street legal c1 or c5?
