if you search in this forum on differences between b18c1 and b18c5 you will come up with tons of info on the differences, but if you drive a LS/RS/GS/SE integra now, dont waste your money on a swap, turbo the b18b

The b18c1 isn't a terrible block, it came with oil squirters to cool down the pistons and a block girdle. If you can find a cheap c5 block go with that, but a c1 is fine and is gonna be cheaper.

:thinking:
no you wouldnt really need to do that, if you have the money go ahead and do that, but your gonna need more money for the swap/turbo/tuning and other misc crap. New rods/pistons/ and a crankshaft is gonna cost you a hefty amound of cash, and from what it sounds like your not goin to be running a terrible amound of boost, the stock b18c1 is fine for mild boost
