Thats cool if thats what you really want or think you need. your saying that the B18C1 has more potential, now really, is anyone going to take their engine to the absolute extreme where that little extra "potential" is going to make a difference. I think NO, most people want a fast car and the fact of the matter is that you can have a Very fast car with a solid D16 motor for WAYYY cheaper than a B-series. And if torque is what you want well its called boring and with a resleeved D engine you can go up to a 79mm bore which will up the displacement from 1590cc to 1766cc's, thats awefully close to the displacement of a B18 isnt is? You can do that and have better rods, pistons and still pay less than for a swap. And maybe get that turbo a little sooner.
Just some food for thought.
