Hi guys, i'm petty new to swapping engine so need alot of advise from u guys..

Currently i swapping my B16A4 to B18C.

My question is the b18C5 block,crankshaft, piston n rod same as B18C?

I know the different between B18C5 n B18C is the camshaft, vavle n valve springs is difference so i decided to buy all the type R parts to add on..

primetime

The difference from b18c5 and b18c1 is that the pistons in th c5 yield a higher Compression ratio! the oil pump, pumps more oil. anybody else know anymore difference?

So the material for buliding C5 is the same?

Cos i thot C5 block is stronger n meant for holding high rev dan B18C

c5 and c1 oil pumps have the same part numbers. so i dont see how a c5 pump can flow any more.

like i said in your other thread, the c5 crank is heaver so it can withstand the higher revs. as well as having dual springs on the intake and exhaust sides of the head and lighter intake valves.

A JDM B18C can be either a Type-R engine or a SiR-G (GSR) engine. Therefore, I don't think your comparison makes much sense unless we're actually talking about an SiR-G B18C. :shrug:

i've seen them too where they just say b18c no 1 or 5. whats up with that???

jdm engines have no number designation after the last letter. b18c, b16a/b, etc.

there is alot of difference between the 2 engines.. as you already know one of them is a gsr and the other is a type r.. we'll start with the basic's the type r has a different cast head based off the b16 head with better valvetrain, valves, cams, and very mild hand port job from the factory, the type r bottom end has some mods done to the crank to hold revs better, the pistons are coated and yield more compression, the rods are stronger and ment for the high revs, the throttle body is bigger, intake manifold matchs the throttle body, the type r has a stock lsd transmission, the gear ratio on type r's are very short and good for track/all motor so it can redline quicker and get through the gears.. the water and oil pump is the same as the type r im pretty sure correct me if im wrong, gsr redline is 8200, type r is 9000, if you have the money for a type r i would get one.. if now just get a gsr build the bottom end, get a b16 head build that up, and get a b16 tranny with a type r lsd.. and make a better engine then the type r with all aftermarket parts .. ive seen poor mans type r's run 12's all day all motor
