- Wed Apr 06, 2011 5:41 pm #248695 hi, ok so i curently have a B16a in the car rite now but the rings are going and a whole bunch of other stuff needs replacing, so it'll jus be easier and CHEAPER to buy another engine : i jus want to know whats the best bang for my dollars "which isn't allot BTW"...not into drag racing jus sumthing quick and responsive for auto cross

im sorta planning to jus buy a B16a head and block and build another B16 but it's like been there done that to me..or should i go ahead and do that?

another question: will a LS/vtec make the same power as a B18c using all stock parts?

Your other options are B18b, B18c and B18cR.

As for ur lsv question, no a stock lsv doesn't make the same power as a gsr but it does make more torque.

- Sat Apr 09, 2011 7:30 pm #249330 yeah i could build over my engine but to get OEM parts (new) will cost BIG$$ Honda parts arn't cheap here... where as buying a Head and Block ( foreign used from the Japanese car dealers here ) cost alot less, the only problem is most sell complete engines which is twice the cost of a head and block...
