if you want to turbo then the b18b1 is the best for your money. But the best engine for your money stock would have to be the b18c1

thats a hell nooooooooooooooooo I had a b20 to drop in my ride and you betta be a wizz at mech and have a lot of f**king money... then there is s**t for the motor. go b16 sir II and if ya wanna turbo i have in artical on a company that re do you b16 into a b18 and saves you hella amonet of money cuz in the beginnig b16 is going to be pretty fast. as the b18 is pretty fast but is hella heavie. go sir II then redo motor - or if ya got the cash now go b18 but ya betta get the turbo or ya ass is ganna get smoked - - - Good Luck

damn.. so NO on the b20 eh.. that sucks.. my boy down at the shop here in town has one turbs and just broke 6's in the 1/8th.. his s**t is fast as f**k... another shop here has a h22 turbs and aint nothing compaired to that b20.. my other option i was thinking is the b18c5.. i dont want a little engine cuz eventually im gonna have to swap it out for something stronger....has anyone heard about dropping a s2000 in a hatch and converting to rear wheel drive or putting a dsm 2.0turbs in a hatch.. my boy here says the dsm can be done with slight modifications..but i havent heard s**t about the s2000........

oh my f**king god......you actually think you can put a s2000 engine in your car and make it rwd for little money??? thought you said best bang for the buck here?? and dsm.....i wouldnt do it. s**t for the same amount of work and money just boost a b series. dsm....youll have to re wire your entire car, use custom made mounts, probably some welding. the trans will be a b***h too. custom shift linkage...NOT WORTH IT!! s2000: dont even think of it...get that retarded thought out of your head. b18c5 is a waste....you can get a b18c1 take the money left over (difference between prices) and make a stronger/faster motor than the c5.

what shop is this? cuz there arent very many 6 second cars. who drives it? if your boy knows so much, ask him!!!

hes not here to talk about his friend and his times, he jus brought it up. Jus askin bout motors. If ur gonna turbo ur car like u say then b18c1 is ur choice, u cant turbo a b18c5 because of its high compression. I mena u CAN but itll jus be a ugly waste.

dood, if this guy wants the cheapest biggest bang for your bock

the b18b1 (expect to pay NO MORE than $900 for everything) can handle up to 7 pounds of boost with no engine mods, all day long. . .
