I had a B-17 and the motor ran just as good as a B-18, but the rings were shot due to spray,so i just dropped in a JDM motor which i imported,B-18*95 GS-R* and it runs better than the GS-R'S around in the states,to] I was very impressed know that they only made 1500 1993 GS-R's and i had one.]but i sold the motor to a guy that works at my shop, for $800 *motor and tranny* the synchro's were out in third and fourth so you had to double clutch to get into the gears without grinding them*, and a set of lowering springs.was it worth it, well i wish i coulda rebuilt it, but it was aruond 4500 dollars for the turbo setup i wanted, so i just bought a new *used* B-18
