good for more power? yes. Good for originality? nope. The B18C1 is 170 hp not 180, the B18C which is JDM is 180 hp and yes it comes from the GSR. It's a great motor no doubt about it. The only thing screwy is the intake manifold which isn't of good design. Personally, I like a second gen B16...NO, I'm not partial, it just seems better for bang for buck. With a second gen B16 you get 170 hp, same as the B18C1 with a little less tq but it costs on avg $800 less. If you're trying to stick with N/A (naturally aspirated) then go with the B16 or B18C...not saying that they can't be turbocharged, it's just that if I was going to turbocharge a Honda motor, it would be the B18B (integra LS motor) due to it's relatively low CR compared to the B18C1
