what is the big diff between b18c1 and b18c5 engines?
 

i want to drop a b18 into my 95 civic coupe, the only thing is i want the hp performance the b18c5 from a type r integra puts out, but to buy one with ecu and wiring harness is about $6000 w/o shipping. I can get a b18c1 for about half, but again, i want the type r hp. is there a big diff in the two motors, or can i use a gsr block and type r head, or vise versa, to achieve the 200 hp im looking for.

your best bet if you want a type r is to fork out the money and buy a front clip and i know where a front clip is right now for $4800 that is head,block,tranny,ecu,wireing harness, motor mounts, shift linkage, and axels and it is garunteed with a start up test

and if youre only looking for 200hp...you can get there with just a bottle...
