Hey Folks, I'm not sure if this should be in the hybrid forum or in here, but since they're both Integra engines, I figured I'd start here.
I'm planning on doing an engine swap next year and I'm looking at either the B18C1 or B18C5, with the possibility of a turbo kit in the future. I'm aware of the basic differences between the engines (internals, specs etc.) but I'd like to know just how much power each engine can withstand with it's respective stock internals?
For example, if I were to buy a B18C5, and turbocharge it to the point where I need to upgrade internals, would it not be a better investment (and more reasonable) to buy a B18C1 and upgrade?
As well, how much HP can stock GSR or ITR axles handle?
Thanks for any help!
