i have a JDM B16A Swap in my 95 civic coupe and i was wondering if it would be a good idea to swap the B16A out with a B18C5? What would you do? Swap it out or leave it alone?

 

Id go JDM B18C [X(]

 

Unless your getting the B18 for free, why dont you just boost the B16 and monster the hell out of it. You can find a top of the line kit that runs on your stock internals. Both are about the same price.

 

is there a reason you would want to swap?

 

honestly Id boost your b16 , sleeve it, tinker with the cams etc...

 

i've almost finished installing my turbo kit on my b16a2. search on ebay for a second hand greddy kit. there are always a few floating around. i would deffinatly turbo the b16 or if your looking to keep is NA, get some cams, valve spring kit, headers, vafc and a few other mods and that should give you a good increase in HP.

 

I would build the B16. The only reason that i would swap in a B18 would be if i had a D series or a non-vtec. Save the 3k you would be spending in the swap and use it to build the lower end, sleeves, maybe a stroker kit, cams, valvetrain, etc. After you do the work, then you will prolly make more power than with the B18 alone, especially if your able to get a turbo as well.
