Alright I'm new to the car scene and am just now getting into Hondas. Been reading a lot, but I haven't really come across an actual answer to what would be better in the long run. A B18 or a B16? As far as doing everything possible, turbo and all that eventually...

 

Welcome aboard GOO!!

 

def go for the b18......much more sexy haha

but its tru

i wanna b18 my car as soon as i can afford it

 

Would it be possible to have a B18 and then mod that with some NA stuff and when I had the money put a B16 head on it and a turbo?[sm=feedback.gif]

 

EXCELLENT IDEA

if i could afford to do that i would in a heartbeat

welcome to the forum!! you sound like you know what your talking about somewhat

 

Yeah I can't say I'm an idiot when it comes to engines... pretty mechanically inclined.

 

the H22 is also nice to have... and only a little modding. thats what im saving up for. also some ppl have gone with the k20 from the RSX

 

again...IMO the H22 is too heavy.

 

That's the first thing that popped in my mind when I read the reply about the h22 was the weight... I'd read a lot of comments saying it was too heavy and wouldn't leave much room

 

yeah it has a big footprint, and weight isnt really THAT big of an issue if you work on it (it has a lot more potential power than it usually puts out so you can gain 35hp in just like 2000 bucks without a blower or turbo) but youd better work on it outside the bay because you will have literally no room to work when its in the engine bay
