the B18c1 is also great for supercharged aplications fully built u can run about 11 or 12 psi from it and get great results http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=816770
H22 vs B18 vs B16

well motor swaps aren't what I call "reliable". Just turbocharge it.edhgreatone said:
I'd say b18. It has more displacement than the b16 but it's not as heavy as the h22. The cheap route would be the LS motor, but if you have more money get the gsr motor (b18c1) or better yet the type-r motor (b18c5).
I believe those are 142, 170, and 195 hp respectively, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
p.s. I don't know the engine code for the LS motor...

the ls is a good motor, b18b1-140-145 hp and is pretty quick in a hatch, i ight go with just that... i cant decide either
4,000 for a b18c? you best chance is a 4,200 for a b18c1 from hmotors.com then 750 + for install. so your more or less around 5k, dont listen to anyone telling you less, they are etiher lying or gettin a very abused engine. You also might consider saving up for some internal work b4 the engine is put in. Take a look at exospeed.com, they do really good work, (though kinda of expensive). That way if you do end up boosting the engine you will have some comfort zone to work with rather then working with stock internals. Also remember, w/ any b-series engine most of your performance is coming from the head, so dont neglect the head just because it says vtec on it.
didnt see the last page of replys, dont get an ls motor. Especially dont do a vtec/ls unless you enjoy cone shaped pistons because thats all your going to get. I have a write up somewhere on this topic but the summary of it is that because the ls/vtec rod ratio is so high when the piston is pushed up its also pushed horizontally causing the piston to hit the cylinder wall. After a short time the piston becomes mis-shaped and causes alot of oil problems, loss of performance, and in the end a blown engine. Not exactly worth the money eh?
ive heard the same bout the ls vtec, thats why im going with a b18b turbo, and please dont act like you kno everything about this topic. mishaped pistons is not my goal, but 140 is decent base hp for like 1200 bucks. so i will gowith this motor.
thats wat im hopen, im actually gettin a kit together this weekend for a b series motor, and turbo'ing my sohc motor for practice and boredness with a couple of frends.
Here's a quote from velocity trends:
"Also Speed machines EF that runs high 11's with a SOHC! To the wheels there is 171HP w/ 114lbs. of torque and running consistant 11's. Why because they also run a fiberglass frt, doors, rear hatch and the rear straight axle."

^^ $4000 for just the gsr motor is kinda pricy i saw some at www.sohfast.com that were like around $3,500 for the gsr... hopefully i can find a place that will do the install for less than a grand so i will have some money left over for rims and suspension.
