What Engine would most of you guys prefer?
Like the topic says for a daily use car what motor and tranny would you guys go with and why?
So far my mind is set on a b20b with a b18c1 tranny.
How does that sound?

i think that setup sucks.
dont do it. you'll regret it.
b18's w/vtec will eat you in 3rd gear.
thats if you have a stock motor.
w/mods might be a lil diff. but i dunno
expect to top out a 200km on the hwy and be revving at red line.
normal cruising at 120 your at about 4500rpm.
put it like this.. basically in 5th gear your rpms are your speed govener. so if your tach needle reads / then your speedo reads / and so on..

For street driving, I prefer a larger motor. I notice a big difference in terms of driveability between the B16A and B18C. The 1.8L feels much better on the low end.

lets compare...
b20= around 125ft/lbs to the wheels
h22=lets say 150ft/lbs to the wheels

AFAIK, you will need to change the pistons because the stock B20 pistons will make contact with the valves. Also, the higher compression will be much nicer for the VTEC head.
