true, but the b18c starts with 180hp then if you turbo that a little down the road and run it 8 psi. then your up to roughly 260 hp.

where as if you get a b16a2 you get 160 hp then run that at 8 psi you get about 240 hp...

What im gonna do is get a b18c then run that for a bit till i can afford the turbo. But it would be cheaper for the b16....



Also pdiggitydogg you think i can cram those kick panels into a 5th gen civic?

Think about it like this you'll be paying a grand more of 15 more horse power and pounds of torque if you get a b18 over a b16. I'll be damned if I pay $1000 for a measily 15 ponys. the b 16 is a better buy for the money and the peformance is not that far behind its 1.8L cousin. But if you are stuck in the first two options I would go with the h22. Civics with prelude motors tear up the street. what you heard about the weight difference if you can do it...............do it.
