I say the GSR.


But my vote would be for a ZC and then turbo. You can get a complete swap for $750-$1000 then you got left over money for turbo. :goodjob:

[Whiteboy™]

well the reason i have the b20 up there is b/c it is a great engine to turbo... and it is a cheap swap

[Benefit]

gsr

[AgentEasy]

i'm doin an ls non-vtec in mah rex.. it's gon be smokin.. tires..

[Sol-Badguy]

I say GS-R.

[Papa_Smurf]

how much will the B20 swap cost ya? motor mounts, tranny, ecu everything...

[william_jeff]

gsr is pretty much the best all around Bseries engine, you can go N/A or boost easily, and it's fun as hell straight out of the box.

the b20z would be fun too, and you wouldnt have to worry about compression issues that much, maybe the cylinder walls.

IMO B18c1>B20z

[Whiteboy™]

thanks guys and ZC i am getting a quote from mainstream in a day or so

[AnclyT]

this is not even a question..

d15 all the way

[KevinT707]

^^LOL

GSR, then B20 then B16

[Papa_Smurf]

Personally whiteboy, if i were you then i'd start trappin and use that money to buy a B18c5. but thats just me...:goodjob:

[Whiteboy™]

lmao, anyone want some weed? j/k

[cactusEG]

gsr ...

[KevinT707]

B18C5 are ghey, only cool because of wow factor but for HP:$ ratio it sucks!

[william_jeff]

B18C5 are ghey, only cool because of wow factor but for HP:$ ratio it sucks!

ditto

[Whiteboy™]

well right now i am looking at a non-vtec b18 swap, :ninja:

[bigdare23]

well the reason i have the b20 up there is b/c it is a great engine to turbo... and it is a cheap swap


:thinking: dont b20 have weak sleeves and the b20z has a higher C/R then the b20b........................ I say a no go with the stock b20 with turbo


also why swap in a 3rd gen b16. I hear it's the hardest of the b16's to swap in a EF, plus you got to dummie your engine down and smart'n up your car. (if you dont get that ef obd0 ->obd1, engine obd2->obd1)

[bigdare23]

I say a b20 swap, but it takes a min to find all the parts (you will need a ls ecu, intake manifold, obd0/1 dizzy, and a tranny).


I would do a LS swap first, then save up and get the b20 block and swap everything you need for the b20 off of the b18!

{Oh yeah vtec is so over-rated, your dont get to use it until like 5000rpms LOL}

[spacelion]

B18C5 are ghey, only cool because of wow factor but for HP:$ ratio it sucks!

They cost a lot compared to the C1, yes. But worth it, definitely. But horsepower isn't the only thing that makes up a motor. All the stuff that the C5 comes with from the factory is worth all the money if you add it up. So what if it doesn't put out monster loads of horsepower. Matched with the suspension setups of the Type-R family, they're great factory road/backroad cruisers.

What it really comes down to is what the OP wants to do. If you're going boost, B18C1 all the way. If NA, you could do C1 as well, but if you got money, get the C5. [/$0.02]

[Papa_Smurf]

Just get an H22, start trappin over in Grayson and turbo that bitch. No one could touch you :goodjob: lol.

why would you spend that much more money to get a little different crack and 35-40 HP?? i see your point on the suspension and shit but youre talking apples to oranges.

[2.0civic]

I love how ignorant some of these threads get with bad info and lack of knowledge

[japan4racing]

d15z1....hands down

[BTLFED]

I say the GSR.

This man knows whats up.

And :lmfao: at thinking ANY B series swap is going to be "cheap" :lmfao:

[Echonova]

The Powertec RPA 2.6-litre V8 prototype number one or 'Christine' as Ted Hurrell now refers to it, (after the car from Stephen King's book of the same name!) has produced 363bhp at 10,300rpm on her second visit to the dyno. Maximum torque is 196ft lbs. at 7,000 rpm, but amazingly it is still 165ft lbs. at 4,000rpm and 180ft lbs. at 10,300rpm.


From a V8 that weighs 200 lbs. It's two Hayabusa motors put together. B18C5 FTMFL

[AnclyT]

if you need a swap done... "Vuong's Garage" does B series swaps for $600

check out the sponsor section

[KevinT707]

H22 = best bang for buck

[TallGuy]

^^^^^H22 is a great motor...but out of your 3 id go with the GSR

[BTLFED]

if you need a swap done... "Vuong's Garage" does B series swaps for $600

They will put a B series swap in an EF for $600? That's kinda hard to believe.....

[AnclyT]

$600 for labor ONLY

you provide the motor swap/mounts/axles/etc.

[BTLFED]

Well that makes it a bit more believable....

[turb0teg]

GSR-T FTMFW

:boobies:

[SandM]

d16z6 ftw. green91's turbo z6 was pretty nice. and, if i remember correctly, was fairly inexpensive.

[xlilvi3tx]

i would go for b20/vtec. n gsr would be my second choice

[RISKYB]

GSR

[bdydrpdmazda]

gsr

[si_speed]

B18

[bastarling84]

well the reason i have the b20 up there is b/c it is a great engine to turbo... and it is a cheap swap
LOL, this is a joke, right?

[I <3 my EF]

Well leave the d-series in there, if you still have it in there, build it up, put a vtec head on it, and then finally turbo it. http://felix.tcecnc.com/turbocivic.htm
d-series ftw.

[ATL86]

Swap a B18B1 and boost it. You'll thank yourself later.

[Whiteboy™]

why are people still voting? lol delete this shit

[ATL86]

I don't see where you said that you got a new motor, but this thread is a couple of months old too, so what did you go with?

[Whiteboy™]

nothing, i am selling the car, lol
