Waste of money. A b16 is small and torqueless. Just stick with the b18.

Somebody has done it, cuz there is nothing you can do to your car that somebody hasn't already done.

Use the tranny from the B16 and just stay with your B18B. As far as cams go Crower 403 or 404's will do you best! There are plenty of built B18B motor on this board! Just do a search! There is plenty you can do to make an LS fast!

There is always the LS/Vtec route if you are not happy with just the B18b!

I never said any of them were high torque, just the b16 is lower.
