hey guys. facing a dilemma right now. driving a 98 ek4 civic sir (that's what they call them here in singapore). and thinking of either an engine transplant- b18 or b20 (w a crv block) or to go da turbo-charging route with a b20. think is i love TORQUE and i need the car as a daily driver. track days are a once a month rarity. NA if i were to do up the engine seems to cost a heck of a lot more. cams, valve springs, etc, etc. whadda you guys think? bang for buck? |

B18 + boost. Personally, I haven't heard many good things about the B20. Others will argue, but it's just an opinion based on other opinions. |

im building a cr-vtec all motor. i might eventually boost it in time. but as munster says its just opinions. depending on how well the build is a b20 and out perform a b18 and vise versa. |

i would go with a 1.8 cheaper stronger, not so much torque but its not that big of a diff |

1.8 definately stronger, has 9mm walls compared to the CRV's 6mm. |
