Si or ctr???

[sk8ingwetwilly]

I have a 98 civic hx with a lame d series motor and i want to put in either an si motor or get a B16 type r.... if i get a regular B16 wouldnt it be easier and a little bit cheaper to just upgrade the parts with type r parts????What type r parts would i need for the upgrade?

[EK|B]

Get a K20, even the K20a3 is faster than B Series, I think.

Get a K20, even the K20a3 is faster than B Series, I think.

But a B16 can be swapped in an EK using all OEM parts. Cheap and easy.

Do an OBD-1 or OBD-2 B16A and put a CTR intake cam in it.

uhh.. no. He didn't mention anything about a k20 and a k20a3 is not necessary faster than a B-series.

[EK|B]

Yeah ossry I shouldn't of said anything about the K-series, out of the question. Don't listen to me!

[noVtecHERE]

well the B16 type R has different internals than a regular B16 and not 100% percent sure but i think it has a taller deck height to...

[Neebs]

I know the CTR has better head flow.

[noVtecHERE]

ya... slightly... same thing with the GSR versus B16... but the difference wetween the Type R heads and the B16`s is it has a factory port job..

i have a b16a2 block with crank.......look in my sig :thumbup:

[ek forever guy]

No, don't fall for the b16 trend. Spend a little extra and go gsr. The motor has much more potential. Lower compression. Will be more reliable in the long run. Sounds better with exhaust/mods.

If anything to a poor mans. B16 head on a gsr. It will raise the compression slightly and you'll still have a torquey motor. The b16 even the b16b has the same tq as a d series. It's going to feel like a d series until you get to 4k rpms. I regretted painfully putting a b16 in my last car. + it was still slow

[GroceryStore_ninja]

k24 ftw it would be the cheapest way to go like a modern day b20

[horchata690]

if you want something good on the money and a great motor go for a jdm b16.

[RhdRicheeee]

decided yet?

ummm the b16A i put in my wifes eg whoops my mildly built d16 i got in my ek. im pretty sure that the b16A has more torque than the d16y8!!!! I COULD BE WRONG THO!!!

im gonna go with the b18c5R,but you cant go wrong with an R-motor!! i say go with the
b16b, they are generally bullet proof,and work well with boost!! get what you can afford and what you want!:thumbup:

[cLeAn_Ek9]

if ur gunna spend money on a legit r mototr than get the 98spec r motor 4.7 final drive and all with the type r header lol thats the route i would go gl on ur decision!!!

The b16A does have more torque than the D16, but not by that much.

[mooshin]

I would just grab a 170hp B16A from an SiR and build that.

[EK9 BE3ZlER]

I can attest to b16b's making good power on boost. They do have a taller deckheight. They are basically a destroked ITR motor. They are expensive, if I was gonna spend 3500+ on a motor I would save a little more and get a k20.

[Type - O]

can you put b16b rods and pistons into a b16a? or would it be really pointless without the b16b crank?

[Neebs]

If I'm not mistaken the B16B and B16A cranks are pretty much the same.

[Type - O]

oh, so it would just be easier to get gsr rods.

[Neebs]

I'd do more research first about it though.
