Get a double quarter pounder with extra vtak on top, then sprinkle it with some herpes. Can't beat that combo.

the b16 and b18c are dohc vtec motors that make about 100 hp per liter. engine size in liters is denoted in the engine code. these motors make all power and torque at high rpms. the b18b is a dohc motor good for 140 hp and makes more torque than the vtec motors, and has better lowend and midrange. All are hugely supported by aftermarket products, so i would say build what you have in the car. But there are people on the forum that are waaayyy more in know than i am, and i am sure they will throw in their $0.02 worth. Since you already have a b16, boost that. For the money you will pay on a b18, you can have your car happily boosted, just don't forget a good tune. Again, I know little compared to many on this site, and have alot to learn myself. hope this helps.

but on a serious note the minty mentos is far and away more powerful than the fruity stuff, the triple whopper adds more torque for getting out of the hole faster but not as much topend, and the herpes is really and honestly overrated.

You can't turbo a civic, it just can't be done. Just get some machimoto ZX tires and a motec systems exhaust and call it good. :)
P.S Leave your two big bottles for race wars, but wait till the end when racing the Honda 2000, or else it's too soon junior!

The B16 is fine, turbo it and have fun. Not too big of a turbo though or else you'll lag like a mutha.
