b16b vs b18c5
 

i know the specs on each motor but im wondering if anyone had personal input on the difference

for those who dont know...

b16b is the civic -r motro and the b18c5 is the teg. r motor..

RE: b16b vs b18c5
 

Torque and CR (B16B has 10.8:1, JDM C5 has 11.1:1)

I've never done a B16B swap, but it would be almost identical to a JDM Type R swap.

hehe..didnt i say i knew the specs on each lol...:D

i mean i just mean does either feel quicker or stuff like that.. i mean it is a kinda stupid because specs are gonna tell u which is faster. but from anyone thats go the b16b motor??

RE: b16b vs b18c5
 

Crap. My bad. I should have paid more attention to the post. Oh well. Uh, off the top of my head, I don't think anyone on here has/had a B16B (they're usually pricey and hard to get) but I'll let them speak for themselves...

yeah i know a place that gets shipments of em 2 times a month..but they only have like 1-3 units.. they are about $4100..1500 less then the teg.-r motor.. hmm..

I think if you have long-term plans you'd be better off with a C/C1 swap... less than either a C5 or a B16B and just about as much fun (sacicons knows...)

:D

RE: b16b vs b18c5
 

the place that im lookin at has the 16b and the c1 at around the same cost

RE: b16b vs b18c5
 

I'm still gonna say stick with the C/C1.

RE: b16b vs b18c5
 

yeah, go with the c/c1.
