ok im new to this so forgive my noob questions , what should i swap into my 91 Civic 4-door i was told by a few friends a B16 or B18 would be great but i dont know witch is better. Any help would be appreciated , or if u think another engine would be better lemmi know. d16y7 in it atm but i dont think i want a sohc

 

guess this was a bad question to ask no answers

 

get a gsr

 

whats wrong with the motor in it now?iam running a stock d16z6,it runs good,good fuel economy but wouldnt pull a greased kitten off a dock...unless you spend some money on it hondas are not known for blinding acceleration.

 

engine in it right now has realy no issue with it other than a fuel injector i have neglected to change for bout a week. i just want a faster engine , realy no other main reason. was just wondering how much extra work a B18 would be to put in it and if i would see enough of a diff.

 

turbo d16.

b18 is an easy swap and i can do it or even help you do it...have a few under my belt...also it is probably the easiest motor to learn on as far as mods and learning about hondas and w.e...its also mad easy to troubleshoot and fix if need be...

 

i would get a b-16. it has v-tec and is not a bad motor to start out with. also later if you want to go ls\vtec you will already have the head, all you will have to do is get a ls bottom end (the block) which would be cheaper than getting a v-tec had if you have ls motor. yeah you may pay less for a ls motor than a b-16 now bu if you eventually going the ls\vtec way tht is how i would go. a ls car will get a b-16 car off the line due to torque bu not by far but when v-tec kicks in it all over for th ls. this goes for th cars being modded equally with some bolt ons.

 

so witch is better just as a straight up engine all stock (meaning what imma be starting with) the B16 or the B18 ?

 

depends on the person and what you like...also depends on what b16 you get...
