So im bringing up the big heated discussion - B18C vs B16A in the DA. B18C with 180 hp and 128ft pounds vs the B16A 2nd Gen with 170 hp and 116 ft pounds. (10hp and 12ft pounds difference) drrrr
Jdmtigerjapanese.com has the B16A 2nd Gen w/cable trans for $1751 which comes with the engine harness and ECU. The GSR long block is $1690 without trans (i would use my ls trans for the time being), but i would have to buy the P72 ECU and GSR harness (for the vtec plugs)
I dont know what to do! I want vtec - bottom line. And for reliability sake, ls/v isnt something i want to embark on.
So with that said... my thinking is, I could either get the B16, put some bolt ons on it and be up where the B18C is, but I still cant justify putting such a low torque motor in and making up the power difference to the GSR. Or I could spend $2500 on the GSR long block with wiring harness, P72 ECU, and jumper harness/vtec subharness/o2 sensor.
Any ideas? ...im kind of scatterbrained at the moment - as the above shows so. haha let me know what you guys think
