vtec comparison: b16 vs b18c1 vs b18c5
 

i personally think the b18c5 sounds the best. Can the b18c1 or b16 vtec sound anything like the c5 with itr cams and IM?

Im getting a b18c1 next year so this is why i want to do my research first. b18c5 is over priced!

all input are appreciated. THanks!

So youre basing the purchase of a motor on sound?

^lol. great reason to purchase a motor! 3rd gear vtAk! vroOOM! :willy:

For the sound and for all motor setup. I don't feel like spending an extra 4G for c5 when it only has 20hp more. Why not take that extra money and make the c1 sound better and faster.

So why not save even more and get a d-motor? They sound bestest!

no thanks. i'll stick with the c1 . D series are weak.

wow.

D motor :yeah: :yeah:

DAN

yeah, everyone knows you can just slap a civic exhaust on the b-series to get that sweet sound of the d-series engine!

try telling that to my friend who was running 28psi with his home-made turbo system.
weir, did you ever know joseph with the off blue 4dr ED? that car was a monster and it had a D

Weak?!?

Do some research before making a comment like that, otherwise you will look stupid (like you do now).

DAN

try running this D series.

im not familiar with the d series. they have low numbers from stock form. I'll stick what the engine that should be in a teg.

i was refering to all motor the whole time, not FI

4G difference from C1 to C5 ...where are you getting these prices?


Bottom line: What exactly do you want out of your motor setup? Do you want more WHP? are you tracking it? autocross and faster grocery getter? Just to save money?


If you are doing for sound how nice it sounds then you definately need to spend your $ somewhere else.

$120 for the best sound in the world!

Unbelievable:shocked:

WHY?!?:confused:

Well i plan on finding a gs-r with the b18c1. GS-r with a c5 is hard to find and alot more expensive.C5+ tranny go for about 4-5 G doesn't it?
The car will be built for daily driving + track on the weekend..
I hope to get near the 200whp mark without FI

Why not buy a type-r with a gs-r motor?

i would buy a type R period, but im still young and alreadying paying high insurance rates. I can buy a type R, but i can only afford liability for insurance. Anything happen to it, im screwed.:jeez:

you = :willy: :willy::willy::willy::willy::willy::willy::willy: :willy:

GSR's come with B18C1's now? OMG!

never know when im someone will drop in a b18b or a d series engine after they blew their engine.

:naughty: :naughty:

i LOLed at this. that's slack, or like at importfest last year there were a few cars with the intercooler's zip tied on.

if you want better sound then you should change the intake/header/exhaust and get a set of good cams+tuning and it will sound way better than stock. you will probably get a headache but it will sound "cool"

:yeah:

k20 sounds better.
sounds like you are set on going with the gsr motor.
but seriously 200whp isnt necessarily cheap, so save up and dont cheap out.

whatever you get just throw on an intake, that'll sound coool

Just get yourself a looong stick and hang a rabbit from the end. Then get yourself a team of 12 greyhounds to pull your car. Now those dogs are stupid fast.

My Gsr b4 boost was loud as HELL... dc headers, Aem cold air 2.5 exhaust, I have nothing to compare it too.....but I can tell you I loved the sound
