Noob question
I dont really konw much about honda, so cut some slack. A poor mans r is a b18 block and b16 head correct? Well honda has 3 B18 motors. My question is does it matter which one you use? Which one works best?

I think what you described is an Ls Vtec conversion, there were long strung rumors that the B16 & type R were the same, but while the valve size remain the same, subtle differences set them apart.
Such differences between the 2 include, Cam profiles, Valve spring count, spring rates, & Valve seat angles.
PS lots of slack... cut. Have to learn somewhere Right.....?

The B18c1 and the B18C5 are pretty much the same block but its wuts inside them thats different. The rods and pistons are diff., and the R crank is balanced, not to mention the R block has a factory oil cooler...
So if u are planning on building a poormans R id say go with the R block!!
