pd0019 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 so i've had a honda accord for a while and i am now looking to build a civic starting sometime in April or maybe in the summer and its time to start doing research im planning on buying a 93-96 hatchback or coupe shell and upgrading it. my question is what motor to go with. i am wavering between a b16a, b18b, or b18c1. my plan motorwise is to have a civic with low 200+ hp at the wheel after upgrades of course. just want a fun, stable, daily driver that is CA smog legal. then add a turbo later...i will most likely be doing this just not at the very moment so which motor would be best with a turbo. help and advice is much appreciated .

Rick B. Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 well if you want it to be smog legal you need to get the same generation motor. and take it to the state referee. i just bought a 94 hatch last night and im putting my 95 gsr motor into it.

..SSR.. Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Both of those engines are not needed. Your years are off too. It's 92-95 or 96-00. Just get a 92-95, put in a D16Z6 along with a Edelbrock turbo kit. Now put in a 4.7 final drive. There is 170whp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kegger Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Thats undershootin SSR. That motor can handle up to 10 PSi stock. I'm not sayin run it at 10 daily but he could pull 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 The Edelbrock kit has its own EMS. Just bolting it on gets you around 170whp. If you want more than that, then you have to buy Edelbrocks programmer so you can tune it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
