thinking about building my civic to be NA, but just weight the cost right now between H22 vs. B16a vs. B18C vs. Turbo the crap out of my D16Y8 :naughty: . anyone done an estimate analysis on these options? i figure since i'd be running turbo, then i would need turbo timers, fuel gauges, etc etc... so the total cost of that compared to the others... what do you all think? sorry for the long as brain teasers...
Y8 turbo would be faster and cost less. BUT I've had D16 turbo H22 B16A and B18C engines. I liked all of them and had one of each for a little while. It's all up to you. This is in stock form fastest to slowest. D16 turbo > H22 > B16A ≥ B18C. This is in an EG or EK.
It also depends on what you want to do with this car. I did everything with all this engines. H22 Civic was built for auto-x/road racing and was also street driven and drag'd. The other being engine setups being the same way.
