are you sure its worth to get a b18 jdm engine??
you might as well go with a c1 or c5.. but why a C ??

ahhh, now i see..

In any case, if your engine is in a decent condition overall, then I personnaly wouldnt swap.. Simply rebuild and FI it. it'll be much more cost efficient.. Unless your wanting to build an all out racer.

my other option would be to get the skunk2 line up
stage2 cams valve train
intake manifold
ecu program
and the spoon throttle boby

its not worth the money to upgrade to a B18C5....if you want an R engine just swap out the internals....pistons, cams, IM, TB etc etc
crx swap

OneDopeTeg said it best....for less $$$$...you can have your b17a crankin more hp then a c-5...swap the internals out for some good aftermarkets...get an upgraded ecu to run with the new internals...and you will be set....plus...if anything goe afoul....you got your stockers to back it up...JUST in case...never know

hope that helps a lil

Yeah the r would be a big waste of cash ....For one they dont have that much more hp for all the money you would waste ...Your better off going with type r cams and a few other parts to get it up there ........If your still not happy take some of that extra money you saved and get a bottle
