OK, I have a 1994 Honda Civic HB in the process of being modified. At first i was thinking of dropping in a GSR(B18C1) but that engine only carries 170 HP stock. I than saw an integra type R (B18C5) which comes with 195 HP and the JDM (B18C6/7) which comes with 200 HP. I wanted to know which is the best engine to drop into my hatch if im going to "turbo" charge it and then port and polish.

 

JDM GSR motor :thumbup:

 

out of those three, the b18c1 cause of its slightly lower c/r

 

Another option is to get a b18a/b. It is cheaper than a gsr and has a low compression ratio. This swap would allow you to have more money for turbo. Also it is more reliable on stock internals.

 

doesn't the b18c1 have the most potential anyways and doesn't gsr have most displacmenet per liter or sumtin like that

 

yes the b18c1 has more potential. and all b18's have the same displacement :eh:

 

what is th b18c6/7 i have never heard of that i always thought the jap spec motors didnt have numbers after the last letter

 

its like a euro spec engine or something :thinking:

 

well he said jdm

 

jdm, edm, its all the same to me...not usdm
