To this day, the B16B stands out as a highly sought after swap. If you are one of those lucky owners looking to rebuild a Bseries powerplant, do not fear! The same rebuild methods and procedures apply to this engine as well. The B18s are arguably the most popular members of the B-Series family. It was a 1. The B18A is hardly if ever seen stateside and are essentially a destroked version of the Honda B20A engine mentioned previously.
It was a non-VTEC 1. The beauty of the 1. The 1. Here is a B18B LS engine. The most sought after and arguably the most popular B-Series engine comes from the B18C family. The B18C engine inherits the best of all the B-Series has to offer, with a 1. This engine setup with basic bolt-ons and tuning put down reliable horsepower to the tires! These are becoming more and more rare each day.
By combining the bottom end of the 2. With the exception of the — Civic Si, the U. On the other hand, HP is kind of hard to reach for the B20 in its stock form, so you will have to buy internals and swap heads to get VTEC.
In their respective years of launching, both engines are durable and reliable. But as the years go by, the levels of this factor go down. But, B20s are far more reliable, not only against the B18 but also across the B-series engine. However, some parts are more vulnerable than others, like cam seals, head gaskets, water pumps, and thermostat failure. Even though B18s have stronger internals, it does not mean that reliability highlights its strength, but B18 has proven otherwise mainly due to the amount of wear that this engine experience with its power.
Both engines have sky-high potentials and have their turfs to prove their abilities. Engine swapping is also common for both of them since they bear the same family. But, like as we mentioned, it will cost more money on one of these.
B20 and B18 in stock forms, the B18 can outrun the B20 off the bat. But if you invest in making your B20 faster, like changing and replacing all the parts with performance ones, it can beat the B18 for sure since it is the only Honda with an 89 mm cylinder — you just need money for that. But overall, B18 makes the most of its engine potential, translating in power, torque, and overall satisfaction for the amount of money you spent. If you want a performance-based and stronger internals right to the start, you can opt for the B18, emphasizing the B18C Type R.
But in the longer run, B20 is better than the B18 since this engine tends to wear out kind of quickly. Currently you have JavaScript disabled.

Honda B18 engines have various versions, and it all depends on the target market and demand. Engine Potential In terms of their tuning potential, B18 engines are more capable of handling higher power outputs than B20, which certainly gains an edge over it.
Problems that Surround Both Engines In their respective years of launching, both engines are durable and reliable. Use high-quality engine oil and regularly service the engine for them to last longer. Biodiesel can be blended and used in many different concentrations.
B pure biodiesel is typically used as a blendstock to produce lower blends and is rarely used as a transportation fuel. This specification allows for biodiesel concentrations of up to B5 to be called diesel fuel, with no separate labeling required at the pump. Low-level biodiesel blends, such as B5, are ASTM-approved for safe operation in any compression-ignition engine designed to be operated on petroleum diesel.
This can include light-duty and heavy-duty diesel cars and trucks, tractors, boats, and electrical generators. B20 is a common blend because it represents a good balance of cost, emissions, cold-weather performance, materials compatibility, and ability to act as a solvent. Most biodiesel users purchase B20 or lower blends from their normal fuel distributors or from biodiesel marketers.
The U. Generally, B20 and lower-level blends can be used in current engines without modifications. Users should always consult their vehicle and engine warranty statements before using biodiesel. Engines operating on B20 have similar fuel consumption, horsepower, and torque to engines running on petroleum diesel.
