Ok I have a back 99 ek that i will be getting an engine in sometime this winter. Hopefully during school break. The thing is that I don't have the cash for the b20 bottom but I can afford a dohc 1.6 swap or a 18c1 swap.
the b20 bottom is cheaper then a complete b16/b18 swap kid. so if you can't afford the b18/b18c swap then either 1) you're getting the worst rip off i've ever seen, or 2) you aren't too knowledgeable about prices of engines...
I'm not a nood so I know the difference in hp. The only thing that bothers me is that down the road maybe 6 months after the swap I will want the b20 in so will the gsr swap work as well as the b16.
knowing the difference in hp, does not declare your intelligence.
look at the ls/vtec sticky in the integra forum for flow comparison charts, both heads (b16/b18c) are compatible with the b20 block.
[/b]I want power but I have heard that the b16 head is better on a b20. Is this true? Also since the swap will have there own trannies is the b18 tranny better than the b16? I have heard that the b16 has better gears. Any info would help. thanks [/B]
again, this question has been covered repeatively, so you can either use the seach function, or look onto the ls/vtec stick in the integra forum. the b16 tranny is better because it is nearly identical to the b18c5 tranny minus the lsd, final gear.
the reas why we are telling you to use the
SEARCH FUNCTION or LS/VTEC STICKY is because this is an EXHAUSTING TOPIC that has been covered so many times, it has its own sticky...
you are not only going t oSAVE yourself TIME, but others as WELL...
