Thanks mate. Around 190-200bhp I'd guess, not sure just now but will have a figure soon but I'm just happy enough knowing good it feels on the road.
Cheers for the info bud and the kind comment, I'm not too clued up on Hondas as I've always been a starlet man. However as I said I'm happy enough with it as is with the b18c4, possibly due to not being in an eg with a b18cr. But I'm not saying that's how it will stay for too long....
The price off a b18c5/6 is stupid though, With the engine he has, its a perfect platform for boost, ByeBye type R:haha:

Thats all that matters mate, as long as you are happy with the car
And it is an awesome little car, its just being a honda nut for a few years i have some experience and that engine is far from making 190-200... Id say 175 at the very most.. A Decent B18CR will do around 200bhp with basic bolt ons.. 25bhp is HUGE on these cars, its literally night and day.. I used to race B18C4 EK hatches in my EK9 that was 168hp B16B and i used to keep up perfectly.. When i change to a B18CR it transformed the car and made 196hp on a Dyno dynamics and went from a 15.2 quarter mile to 13.7 just from the engine conversion 28hp gain. to give you an incite of the difference. Just some info dude, not telling you what you should do Yes this is true... But boost is not cheap by no means and some people want to stay N/A went they go Honda like i did and loved my experiences using it as a track car. reliable good responsive power with amazing grip and handling. I was lucky as i traded my B16B +£250 for a mint B18CR with 40K miles..

C4 loves the boost though dan!! theres still a little power to be got out of the c4 but not much na.

If he were to boost it then all is good. And yeah Paul the c4 is the way for boost but im not assuming that hes boosting it lol.
I got the box out and split it and all looks alright but when i get a bit of money behind me in the next couple week im going to give it to a specialist and see what they think of the box and diff.. In the meantime i also need new discs as ones cracked, perfect
