Which b18 is the best

I thought bore diameter was the same with B16's and B18's? Just the stroke thats obviously longer in the B18? Wall thickness the same then??? I guess we are talking stock motors? Regardless of engine types as the are both very strong engines with boost , the main concerns with reliability is quality of in general of 'complete setup'. This includes good quality turbo setup, good quality install, good quality ecu and tune.

If any one of these lack, then reliability will lack. No replacement for displacement. Have a chat to the guys who have done it before. DL is one of those guys. If your doing the motor start with the b18c2. You only go with a b16 if you already have one lying around. It was a 1. The B18A is hardly if ever seen stateside and are essentially a destroked version of the Honda B20A engine mentioned previously.

These are becoming more and more rare each day.

B18 cylinder block is made of aluminum, its deck height is Inside this unit, an 89 mm stroke crankshaft and mm long rods were installed.

In , B18C engine appeared with the cylinder block deck height of These solutions have reduced the displacement from 1. This block was covered with a VTEC DOHC head with improved intake and exhaust ports, modified angle of fuel injectors, inlet valves were enlarged to 33 mm and exhaust valves were enlarged to 28 mm, and 5.
