As of right now I am leaning towards b18. Looking on craigs there's one up right now, full swap out of a 97, for 1k. I'm not buying a swap until summer but if I find a good one for a good price I'll grab it and rebuild throughout the year.
i have better things to do than post *****, youd know if id grace your thread to count it as a place to "post *****".

regardless, if you truly care, go with the b18, have honda will modify....will modify...but cheaply.

Cryo..... don't pay attention to them, they are butt buddies who argue in every thread just to ***** it out.

Now go change that brightness... please..

Dont get a B16 unless you get a hell of a deal....

I hate how all the ricers see a B16 and think its the King of all King's Engine lmao [Not saying anyone in thread... jsut people locally lol]

If you are referring to me about post whoring, then go into my post history. The reason my post count is so low is because I don't post every thought that comes to my mind. But if you think my post count of 200ish comes from post whoring then wow, your idea of post whoring is completely ridiculous.

NOW BACK ON TOPIC
The only reason I haven't really thought about b20 is because I never see them locally to buy. I would prefer to buy an engine locally rather than jdm since I'll save a lot of money. And to this point I have never seen a b20 for sale. Wheres H22, B16, and B18 pop up a lot more often. And the prices are pretty good for them.

H22 VTEC wins. End of story. I would take an H over any B if I had the money to do it right. H trannys arent too great though so I'd want to do the H2B setup.

Just curious, why do some of you prefer a b20 over a b18b and vice versa...they are basically the same thing. All the builds I have seen with them NA were almost identical in WHP and TQ. Only downfall I see in the B20 would be in a boost app. due to its thinner walls.

That's what confused me too super lol. Most of the time I like to ignore your posts because they suck (no offense) lol. Whatever.

The only reason I am probably going to go b18 is cause like I said, I have yet to see a b20 up for sale on craigslist. Whereas b18s pop up pretty often.


PS I'm on my 218th post! I need to slow my whoring down.

b18/b20- is mainly bottom end they have no power really after 5/6k
b16- has no bottom end but has all power after 5k and will pull til 9k
h22/h23- has bottom end and top end, the trans arent that good and costs more $$$ than a b" series to get it to fit into a civic and also weighs more.

now if you can get a cheap b16 and spend some $$ into it, i suggest getting the b16 and bore it out and since you arent going to run boost, put high compression pistons in it and shave the head a little and port it and throw a decent set of cams into it.

the best way for power is to go for the b18c1 or the h22/h23 or the k24

K series is way to expensive for everything needed to swap in. I don't see why the K swap is getting so big. If you put half of what a K swap costs in the end into a GSR you would have some high numbers.
