Hi there, I'm from the UK but I am coming to you guys for some much needed advice...

I have a Honda CRX Del Sol with a B16a engine but I am changing it to a B18... I am currently in search and have come across a B18c4... (the euro version) and apparantly it is 170bhp (roughly)....

Although I have heard the b18 and b18c5 which are supposed to be more around the 197-210bhp mark...

I would be happy to go for the B18c4 as I have found it, but to get it to the b18 or b18c5's performance would it just require one of their ECU's or is there differences in the engines themselves? I would really, really appreciate the help and I am now confused and clueless...

Thanks all

Click to expand...

Changing the ECU won't give you any more performance, except maybe make you run a little rich. The engines have a LOT of differences that make the power difference. The B18C5 has higher compression pistons, a better intake manifold, a better flowing head, and better cams than the other B18C's.
 
Hmmm... so would def be worth waiting until I find a B18c5 instead of settling for the B18c4 then... I didnt realise there was that much between em, but I was obviosuly wrong, thankyou very much for your help all of you!
 
yea EDM version of a GSR.

I personally would just take the C4, that motor still has plenty of potential and will be cheaper.
 
i have a b18b1 in my integra. you might say im young and dumb but i like my car and want to keep the engine it has in it. my only problem is i dont really know what to do next t get the best perfomance. please help me.
