could someone please provide information regarding all these engines that came up in the discussion (B18, B18C#, B16, B18B, etc) for newbies like me?

 

B17A = 2nd gen Integra GSR 1.7L DOHC vtec
B18C1 = Integra GSR 1.8L DOHC vtec
B18c2 = same as above but euro spec gsr
B18C5 = same as above but Type R. (different cams, throttle body, intake, etc...)
B18A/B = Integra LS non vtec 1.8L DOHC
B16A = Came in Civic SI (99-00) JDM Civic SIR and others (as old as 92 body)
B16B = JDM Civic Type R. (similar to B18C5 but 1.6L)
B20B = CRV 2.0L DOHC
B20Vtec/Frankenstein = CRV 2.0 bottom end with one of the vtec heads
LSvtec = B18A/B with one of the vtec heads
F22A = SOHC 2.2L Accord motor.
H22A = Vtec DOHC prelude motor 2.2L
H23A = Non Vtec DOHC prelude motor 2.3L
K20A3 = New gen RSX Type S engine 2.0 Ivtec
K20A1 and 2 = New gen JDM Type R engine 2.0L Ivtec I believe
K20Z3 = New gen Civic SI engine 2.0L Ivtec
K24A = New gen Accord, CRV, Element, TSX (different specs) 2.4L Ivtec
then you have moree of the F series that are more obscure engines, and the D series which are all single cam 1.5 or 1.6L civic engines. They're less important in the world of modifying and racing.

I'm sure they're are some minor mistakes here but I just got up and can't think.

 

Nice list. The crazy thing I have seen with Honda B series motors is that a LOT of the parts on the different engines are interchangeable....like an erector set.

 

Those Cars Dont Weigh Anything, Good Luck!!!

 

I was a honda boy before the evo and yeah, a type r in a hatch is damn fast. I messed around with a del slow with a B18C1 in it (GS-R motor), i was in the evo and he hung alright...i won but it didn't do to bad. That is the plus with hondas, you can make all sorts of combinations.

 

I was a DSM guy before I was a honda guy before I was an evo guy....

You wanna talk fast... how bout 471wHP in a 2200lb car? Here's my old car.
btw: It's a total frankenstein.. B20B block, B16A2 head, B18C1 trans, B16B throttle body.

 

Hey I was a honda guy before the evo and had a b16 in a 89 crx...Pulled consistant 14.2 and was mostly stock...the car was DAMN fast and felt like I was riding a oversized gokart but I do think you will have a hard tiime beating this guy especially if it is a true B18C5 and the guy knows how to drive.....go luck though

 

You could always give it a shot... maybe he'll miss a gear or something...

 

Did you ever get traction?lol Nice car though.

 

Yea it only wheel hopped into fourth at 15psi on pump gas. 354whp

 

not the biggest fan of civics but thats a sick civic dragin...

 

Thanks, I know the graphics are a bit over the top but it's meant to be a replica of the JDM Top Fuel Circuit Race car. I figured everyone does JDM OEM I'd do JDM race. http://www.topfuel.info/desktop/topfuel_desktop005.jpg

 

a buddy of mine put a B20Vtec in his honda civic hatch that was totally stripped the only thing in the car was a drivers and passenger seat dash and full roll cage that thing was redonkulous o man was that thing loud when he hit vtec

 

good stuff

 

wow that's a sick civic!!
