WOW...

Do a LOT more research before you even consider swapping ANY motor in...

B18 v B16 isn't really even a fight... you need a head code to tell you which one would win...

A b16b is better than a b18b possibly than a b18c1 but CERTAINLY not better than a b18c5

A b16a 1, 2, or 3 is better than a b18 a, or b but CERTAINLY not better than ANY OTHER 1.8.

And then it also depends on your future plans... I'd prefer the long gears, higher displacemt, and lower rpm revving of a b18a or b combined with it's lower cost if I was going to go turbo...

but if I wanted to go all motor I'd want a b18c1 or b18c5 or POSSIBLY a b16b.

You may want to mix and match parts... lots of folks prefer a b18c1 engine with a b16b or b18c5 tranny. or a b18b with a b16 or b18c5 or b18c1 head on it... (ls/vtec).

Any way I'd suggest going to honda-tech.com and SEARCHING for the key terms of any question you would want to ask... BE SURE to search both recent and archieved posts...

AND DO NOT POST QUESTIONS UNLESS YOU HAVE SEARCHED THUROUGHLY...

You will be swiftly repremanded if you ask a question that's been covered...
