The B18 is just the opposite. Beefy rods and a larger displacement, along with a better flowing head and the capability to covert to an LS/VTEC.

I love my D series motors, but they don't have the potential of a B. I've recently came to this realization. :-\

He better go LS Vtec, B18b heads flow like turd. A ported D16a6 or B7 head will flow great. Since this swap is so cheap you should go B, but if it wasn't, D is where its at.

The way I see it is, if you have money to spend go B. If you are poor or responsible for a mortgage and car payments,and a baby on the way, like me, stay D. ;)

So you know...LS motors are cheap as hell. I can get one installed for $500. Thats nothing for a B series.

Defintely go B over D. way more potential in B series.

If your poor like me go D.
If you medium poor then get B, LS.
If your not feeling poor at all then go B, VTEC.

Well maybe SOHC for life. Those F-series motors look pretty cool, bisi sure knows what he is doing.

That k24 TSX motor has a electronic throttle control and would be a PITA. Just get a b and gimme the d! I love my d series engine and I'm stockpiling em in my garage and have 3 sohc's sitting in my garage right now with different plans for each one.
