Don't put in a b16 unless it's fully built or some type of turbo. At my school a guy had a b16 hatch and with my stock a20 I could pull on him. His car just sounded nice at 8k

There have been b16's, b18's, and b20's installed in this chassis. Fallow the link in my sig for more info. Also try searching, this has been asked a ton of times.

stock b16a is 160hp, or the same a a b20a but without the torque
as said earlier, us search.
if its been put in a 3g, you'll find it here
if its been done to a 3g, you'll find it here
use the search function

The A20 has more torque than the b16 lol

dunno where i read it, but apparently a jdm b20a is a match torques wise to a S2k motor until the vtec jumps in.
but yeah, b16 aint exactly known for having much torque, they just make up for it with low gearing increasing the effective torque at the wheels.

b16a is perfect for little civics but when you get one in a bigger car its pushing on being money spent for little gain.

+1 for B18C
