depends on what your plans are for your car. If you plan on turboing ive seen alot of nice set ups using the b18b

planning on turbo.....I was thinking with the b18 on my b16 tranny. plus I would still have my b16a block to sell...so I could get a few new things for the b18b with that money.

have you not grasped not single motor is better, it's your own personal taste.

i like the b16a better than i like the b18b.

if i were doing it i'd keep the b16.

make a decision and follow through already.

there's been like 5 topics like this in the last year.
