What would the ideal honda engine be for high boost (20psi)
1.6? 1.8? Sohc? Dohc? Vtec? I'm just curious to learn more about these hondas

B18c Dohc Vtec ;D

Why?

good R/s Ratio
Decent Size Displacement
Vtec is a beautiful thing
Aftermarket is friendly place to be

Why Not?

B18c's cost to damn much, and thats why alot of us Build B18a/b's or B20's

Re:Ideal Engine
 

B18B cheapest and best, base horsepower is only 140hp but from the factory they can hold 15psi on stock internals. fully built they can support up to 30psi. the only problem with the Vtec engines is that is alot of pressure and extra force on the Vtec valvetrain......

What is the differnce between the B18C and B18'AB's
To be honest I'm getting rid of all of my junk and i'm going to buy an integra, I plan on boosting it heavaly
I know the gsr comes with the B18-c, or would it be better to get a base model and swap to the B18-c? Lets say I have lots of money what would the best way for me to go about this?

best way to go about it?

if you buying a teg boost the b18a till you blow it up, if you have lotsa cash to burn..

but imo i would buy a shell like a CRX and get a b18c and boost it in there..

if you want speed..

Re:Ideal Engine
 

Well that kinda helps but still doesnt tell me what the letters mean like B series? is that a year range? or the engine?

Larry

Re:Ideal Engine
 

B is the block.That is the blocks name if you want to make it easyer to understand.So a b16 has less displacement than a b18(Less cubic inches).The leters after the block designation is the head designation(a,b,c1,z6,y7,y8,zc,so on and so on).

Hope that helps.
