I'm in no way a fan of B series, but from what I'm aware of, B18C5(ITR) is just a slightly higher compression motor. If you want to do a ITR replica, C5 would make good power and more then what you have now.

If you are worried about bang for your buck, you could definitely build an equally fast(if not faster) motor combo for the price you'd pay for a real B18C5. Try to get a quote, then compare it to how much you could get for parts or a different B series.

i could do that but i was not sure if i could get as much hp as a full type r. and i did not know if there is a better motor then a b18c5 for integra

what are your plans ? what do you want to do to the engine .. think about all that and go from there... Higher compression boost is less of an option... then go na ... lower compression = i love boost
gsr head, ls bottom maybe

ok so if i can boost it up and make it faster then a b18c5 for less the money thats what ill do. but do you think it would be better for me to buy a gsr motor and start from there?

k20 swap would be whats up but if u want a bang for buck go with a ls-v or b20v
