if you plan on building internals then just go to the junk yard and get a b18 the only differance on the b18c5 is longer pistons and ish..you can get a vtec head from a 18 or a 16 and build something way better than that b18c5 imo

the B18C5 is built for N/A....if you are going to just change out the internals and turbocharge save your money and go with the B16.

to be honest you would be better off prolly going LS/Vtec if your gonna turbo...Your already gonna be doing an asspot of work might as well save yourself some money. Maybe even a b20 Vtec those lil bitches run like a raped ape if tuned right

b18c5 if you can afford it. or a b18c1 if you're on a tight budget

b18c5 w/b16 head

b18c5 head is a factory ported b16 head

most people use ported b16 heads with b18c1 blocks, which essentially make the "poor man's type r"

if your going to turbo, screw both b16a and b18c1 or 5...
save some money and do a b18b. stock it will produce more power than both. then later if you wnat more power, swap heads...

otherwise turboing a b18c like mine is pointless if your going to swap out internals like i am ( haah)...

I agree with gsrchad, the B18B1 is definitely a better choice than the B18C1 or the B18C5 if you want to go the force induction route since it already have a lower compression piston. It's a lot cheaper too to start. The B18C1 & B18C5 are good because of the VTEC & the high compression ratio which high compression ratio engine isn't a good idea to go for force induction.
