Engine Compairison: b16, b18c[5&1] and B18b
I am new to Honda B-Series Engines. What would be the most cost effective engine to swap into a 95 Civic? I am looking for a good engine to build up, and against paying more for stock parts which are to be replaced with better aftermarket ones (e.g. ITR). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A few specific questions:
Which motor has the highest potential (cost effectiveness and performance) in a 92-95 civic? If it is a b18 series then:
For the price difference, could a GS-R motor be built up to surpass the Type-R motor?

If you're going to get after market parts (I would assume you're talking pistons, rods, cams, etc.), any of the b18 blocks would be a good starting point. Have it sleeved and put in some nice oversized forged pistons.
What it really comes down to is how much you want to spend. What are your plans for the car? Will it be a daily driver that you want to add some extra get up and go or will it be an all out race car? If you provide more details, you'll most likely get better answers/recommendations/suggestions.
