Motor Choice

[BadBiddy13]

ok i am having a problem choosing which motor to use in a turbo setup???? I have a b18b1 with about 116,000 miles on it and i am thinking about doing a turbo setup and my friends say to keep it cause it has a longer stroke but i wanted to get a new b18c1. Not sure which to pick....i am planning to get around 250 hp and build the motor. If i do keep the b1 i would v-tec it but i am not totally sure on how to do that? Any info on which to choose would be great!!

First of all, it's VTEC, not v-tec. Don't listen to what other people say. Do what you want to do to your DC4.

Agreed

well i just trying to know which choice would be better to achieve 250 hp without spending too much money and still being able to daily drive it. cause my motor has over 100,000 miles just wondering if i should scrap it?

Matt, you're wrong. It's V-T-E-C-H.

You fail.

:lol:

Do a K23 swap with SH-AWD conversion.

You drive a Honda! 100,000 miles is just breakin it in! If you really want VTEC then just do a head from a B16 or a GSR... With boost you shouldn't have too much trouble reaching the 250 mark. And if you are trying to not spend too much then why do the swap??

My suggestion would be to keep the B18B1, build it, then boost it.

Just build and turbo the non-vtec

EDIT: oh wait someone already said it

K23 with SH-AWD FTW.

boost for the b1

 

[Kuchtaboy]

D16Y7/8/Z6 boosted.

That's what I'm doing. :thumbs up

Id keep it cheap and get a B20 then boost that. Ive seen low mile B20's going for $500.

 

[BadBiddy13]

so even if my b1 has over 100,000 miles i should still keep it and boost it??? also why go over the c1 or c5???
