Both are good.
You can get parts for either from dealers, NAPA/UAP or Canadian Tire.
The SiR (B16A) came in the 99-00 Civic SiR and the GS-R (B18C) came in Integra GS-R from 94-01.

spracingsports

well are you talking about finding OEM replacement parts?
or
which is easier to fing performance parts?

id go with G2 Racer on that one.... same... both are plentiful

Chigga1

u meant B16a2 and B18c1

Usdm motors.
both motors have unlimited parts and not to mention stock performance interchangable parts,

my dream car is the TYPE R!

I had the choice of both at one time but I opted for the SIR mainly because of the high insurance on the GSR. Another thing was the teg's still one of the most stolen cars in North America.

Gunmetalef

both are good....
are you looking for just and engine or a whole car?

imported_kIeRaN

he has a 93 civic so i guess he wants the engine

a gsr engine in a 5gen civic.. insane!

The G2 Racer

Having been in both cars the B18C powered car is really worth the extra coin for the engine. The B16A has no torque at all imo.
Go B18C simple as that.

However the B18C isn't insane either imo. To get insane from an n/a Civic you need an H22A or built B20VTEC. Those are insane.
Or just go completely nutty with a B18B or B20B turbo.

The G2 Racer

I was using the JDM codes. Even if it's a JDM motor the parts from the USDM are interchargable. Stuff like oil filters, thermostats, gaskets, spark plugs, etc. To my knowlegde is all the same on the USDM and JDM enignes.

great thanx guys yea i'm looking at a type R turbo for my coupe and i need to know how easy parts r to find b/c its jdm and what about brakes cuz right now i'm looking at rear discs from a SIR and a GSR

imported_zc_hatch

why turbo typeR
turboGSR would be just as good

expecially if you want to build the engine, its just extra cash you waste

Chigga1

if u want to save more money....

LS/TURBO

The G2 Racer

I'm with Chigga1, LS + Boost = lots of fun.

Boosting a B18C-R or B18C5 is hard to to the high compression.

Since you have an EG go for GS-R brakes.
