What To Do?

[slow4drcivic]

Well i got a 1998 4dr civic. wondering............ should i do b18 or b16?

GSR B18, Being you have a 4 door its more logical for the power im sure you'd like to get out of the motor your putting in. Only downside is having to use premium gas... Worth it though IMO

[simplegreen]

you should use premium gas with a b16 too

goodpoint, it is better for the internals on any motor.. Dseries, B and the K.

What's your plans for your car, it will be easier to suggest when we know what the car's purpose is.

i say go with a b18 gsr if you got the cash. if not just go out and get and ls motor, and swap a vtec head on. then go out and get urself a lsd and ur set.

Not true, Using high octain on say an LS NA motor would be pointless. It give no benfits at all and it will leave carbon deposites everywere.

im not saying that ur wrong, ur prolly right, but would it make sense that a higher quality, detergent filled premuim gas would leave less deposits than that of a lower quality, no detergent regular gasoline. it just seems that cars that are run on premuim all the time last longer than that of cars that are run on regular.

The reason why it leaves more deposites then regular gas is because not all of it gets burned because the compresion doesn't let it burn hot enough. I mean it's not going to harm your mnotor in anyway it's just a waste of money. You can fill you DX with 94 octaine and it will run normal as it would on 87.
With no added benifets. Doesn't protact andything in anyway.

And the reasoning that cars that take a higher octaint last longer, Is because cars that call for a higher octaine useally are cars of a higher grade then the lower end beaters IE: Civics,corolas, Focus and that such. Well thats my reasoning anyway.

I dont know i could be wrong
