Please watch our video which covers the principles of tuning your B series engine. The ECU mapping and fuelling also will say much on the bhp gains you'll hit.Įxtending exhaust or intake durations can alter the bhp band and on most engines the exhaust and intake durations do not need to match, although most cams and tuners use matched pairs there are some advantages to extending the intake or exhaust durations. If you are developing a track car this doesn't matter as you are in the high end of your RPM range anyway and that is where you want the power to be.ĭifferent B18 engines respond better to extreme camshaft durations check your engine on a rolling road. I would be surprised if you have found a Competition camshaft is a pleasure to live with when on the daily commute, because the lumpy idle will make the car prone to stall and smooth driving at low rpm becomes impossible. On a road car should ideally to match your engines power to your usage of the car. Motorsport cams, increase the top end band but as a result the car will not idle smoothly and low end power nearly always suffers. Choosing a higher performance cam profile raises the torque accordingly.įast road cams normally increase the torque over the rev range, you could sacrifice a little low end power but the top end will be higher. We won't be swayed by popular B18 parts, they need to be cost effective.Īltering your B18 cam will make a dramatic difference to the engine torque. The optimum parts on an engine are in our opinion the ones that give the biggest return for your cash. 1998–1999 EU Civic Aerodeck 1.8i VTi 5-door Wagon (MC2).1996–2001 UK Civic Aerodeck 1.8i VTi 5-door Wagon (MC2).1996–2000 UK Civic 1.8i VTi-S (Limited Edition) 5-door Hatch (MB6).98-99 Honda Integra JDM SiR-G (DB8, DC2).95-98 Honda Integra JDM SiR/SiR II (DB8, DC2).96-01 Honda Integra JDM Type R (DC2 & DB8).JDM B18C Type R Honda Integra (JDM) DOHC VTEC 1996–2000 Honda Civic – Middle East & South Africa Ballade (SO4).1992–1995 Honda Civic – Middle East & South Africa Ballade (SR4).1990-1993 Honda Integra LS DB1 Sedan (Made in India).1992-1993 Acura Integra USDM "GS/LS/LS Special Edition/RS" (DA9 Liftback/Hatchback, DB1 Sedan).1990–1991 Acura Integra USDM "RS/LS/LS Special Edition/GS" (DA9 Liftback/Hatchback, DB1 Sedan).We cover the B17 and B17, B20 in another more focussed article, although they share the B series design and block with a few differences. VTEC and compression ratio played a large part in the power figures on offer. The B18 was the most popular B series engine produced by Honda, and was deployed in family cars and performance cars alike with various states of tune.
