Very few B18C5's out there... and everyone and their mother with a civic wants one. So like all things... supply / demand = $$$$. I don't know why you'd waste you time on a B18C5... the intake cam etc they use in there isnt that good compared to aftermarket stuff these days.. its just not worth the extra $. I used to own a hybrid Civic CX and I'm glad i didnt believe the hype.
I think h22a's are way overpriced too. The whole JDM engine market is BS. In japan they take these from cars that have to be destroyed anyway (due to Japans manditory age/milage limits).
Talk about pulling money out of the garbage can!!!
