Rebuild or New? Thats the question....

[khaiserx]

Okay I have dilemma on my hands here. I have a B18 head inside my 91 Integra RS and my original plans were to do an engine swap with a B16 head. But some of my friends in my car club said it would be easier to rebuild the B18 engine head. What do you guys think? New or rebuild? B18 or B16? Hmmmmm........ :???:

If you got the B18B block, get the B16A head. "LS/VTEC" engine = fast.

How much would a B18C Head run?...i want a b18c head...=\

 

[Eviloliv3]

you can find VTEC heads for around 300-500. you can find LS heads for 100 or cheaper 8)

A brand new BARE ITR head runs $600.

given that i have a 90 LS NONVTEC

if i should swap the head to a B18C would i would need a lot of rewiring work , new distributor, ecu and instrument cluster (for the higher RPM) ?

 

[DownShift96GSR]

Yes you would. Definately the right ECU or your car will run like shit.
