i would go with the b18c1. which is what i am doing to my car b18c1, redoing all the internals, and then boosting it at 8 psi.

would this engine be a good engine?JDM B18C IT-R, http://www.naganojapanese.com/jdm_b18ctyper.htm

 

nah man, listen to everyone they said to go with the b18c1 or GSR motor not a type r if you are going to be boosting that is...take the hit and get a k20 tho

 

Both the k series and H series require a lot more work and money. 500-600 for a mount kit plus custom axles. If you go forged in a H you HAVE to sleeve. And as far as the k-series swap goes you better have at least 8000 if you want to do the swap(with no turbo), for that money you could have a built b-series turboed putting down 500whp. Unless you have money to blow or are trying to be different I'd go with a b-series.

 

By the time you pay the stupid prices people put on a B series swap($3k for a GSR swap) you can buy a H and all the parts needed. Mounts are around $350 to $400 and axels are the same. After that a accord shifter assemply is all you need. You can have a H in you car for right at if not a lower price than a C1 and have ITR power and better than K20 tq.

 

That's what I said, everybody keeps saying that a h-series is cheaper, it's not. Close to the same as a gsr, and more work to install. More parts needed, more work to be done= lower price for engine. And when you go to turbo, the fitment is tighter, so again you get into more work, The sleeves are junk and have to be replaced if you use anything but stock pistons, again more work and money. Most people can't do all this extra work and fabrication, so they end up paying even more for labor making the b-series cheaper. And IMO the b-series is more dependable as a daily driver.

 

i would have to agree with 96civic i would much rather a b18 gsr than an h22

 

thats actually a really good price for that engine...but for boost you do not want it.
