EX engine swap
 

Right now I am split on an engine swap. Its either going to be a B16a2, or b18c5. In your opinion which would be easier to run with a turbo and in a 98 EX? Id also like to be able to put it in myself and the help of some more wiring friendly cohorts, so ease of install is also something Im seriously sonsidering. Thanks

The c5 isn't a great engine to boost unless you lower the compression a bit.

the c1 is better...c could possibly be better than the c1

I just knew the c5 had more horses, but I wasnt sure if it was better to use. I also had a feeling they would harder ton install. Im just looking for the most bang ofr my buck.

Actually the c5 is a direct fit into your car.

doesnt the b16a put out as much power as the b18c5?

RE: EX engine swap
 

the b16a2 has 160 horsepower, while the b18c5 is 195, not a huuuuge difference, but noticeable

nonono im talking about the b16a...not the b16a2. the b16a is a JDM engine and puts out a lot more horsepower than the b16a2
