Its a b18, upgrades are pretty much the easiest. the b18a and b18b are extrememly similar as far as upgrade compatibility. Ive seen these motors ls-vtec'd and turboed all the time. Good engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex37211 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 The b-series has extensive aftermarket support. Plus the b18b1's hold up really well to forced induction. (i.e. turbo) Most people just slap on a vtec head and call it a day, but you'd be better off boosting it in my opinion. Plus you can swap the transmission out for a b16 one or gsr one for better acceleration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
