ok well guys i had to jump the gun and buy a turbo kit for my 94 civic cx and i dont even have a motor to swap it in. The kit fits any B series motor. im looking for the "bang for the buck" motor let me know please. And im not looking to spend a fortune.

 

b18

 

b1

 

fixed it for you

 

yeah if you want him to blow the bottom end because of the inherently weak sleeve design.

LS all the way.

 

ls is better for boost if you boost 5 or 6 psi

unless you want vtec then go gsr

but its really a prefference thing

 

thank you all so much i wanted to go with the ls motor i just wanted to make sure it was the right choice.

 

what it really boils down to is how much you want to spend on the swap

ls-cheap, b16-decent, b18-$$$.

i vote again for the LS with LS tranny.

 

B18C1... can be found cheap too.

 

x2.

Also if its a T3T4 the B18B1 will handle 10psi on pump gas easily. After that I suggest some more eggresive tuning with higher octane.

If you plan to pun on 93 then I would start upgrading the pistons. The connecting arms are actually quite strong and will hold up as long as you have proper tuning.

The weakest link has been found to be the cast Honda pistons. They will develop stress fractures before rods will break.

Tuning owns all!
