I've never heard anyone complaining after they did a b18c swap.
it's got WAY more torque and it's not that much heavier as far as I know... I wouldn't go b16 they have NO torque... the 1.8's are lacking in torque much less the 1.6's.

b18c is a good motor...but i do like the "torque-less wonder" b16 too
and i dont think you can bore the 1.8 gsr to 2.0L...1.98 yes for sure |

no difference is there
Chevy calls a 305 cu inch engine a 5.0 FORD calls 302 cu inch engine 5.0 i dont think that .02L will make THAT much of a difference |

no not really but im not exactly sure it can even go as far as 1.98
and actually i think the b18 isnt 1.8l...its something like 1.78 so im just being an ass (yes, I'm allowed to do that from time to time ) |
