dont do a full engine swap, change your head you can get the same hp... why are you changing a 98 teg engine??? just cause the new one will say b18c5?? on it just do a head swap and you will get pretty good hp gain... put a v-tec head and do this... then you might have more hp than you thought
ARP Head Studs
B&M Fuel Pressure Gauge
AEM Fuel Rail
AEM Fuel Regulator
Edelbrock Throttle Body
Mugen Head Gasket
Skunk 2 Intake Manifold
Skunk 2 Stage 2 Camshafts
Skunk 2 Valve Springs and Retainers
STR Cam Gears (Black)

and you will get a nice hp gain... spend the rest of your money on brakes, clutch, body, interior.....

good luck...

 

I agree, why the huge push to swap out the motor? You could make some great hp with the one you have and some mods.

In addition, VTEC isn't all that man. You could spend the money on FI and make MUCH more power than VTEC. h:

 

pulleys are worthless man... the hp gains is in ur head... have u dynoed it? you wont see a hp gain trust me...hopefully your not a magazine racer.

 

i alreayd have body ,brakes,interior susp done thats why im looking at the engine swap and no im not a mag racer

 

Ok, but do you want an engine swap or do you want to make more power?

 

i just want to know which engine has more support
i guess the ls vtech with a turbo would make the kind of power im ooking for

 

A turbo alone would be just fine.

 

if i were to do a turbo kit then do a head swap would that work or would i need a diffrent kit for the vtech

 

You don't need vtec. In fact, some major builders say that nonVTEC is better for FI because there are less moving parts. h:

As said above, I have a friend with a stock B18B and a T3/T04E turbo with home made piping and Hondata running 13.2 in the quarter on about 11 psi. That's about 250 whp on a stock block, stock internals B18B.

Read man.. read.

 

how long will stock internals hold at 11 psi?
