Re: DA Integra's Only
Honestly, it might just be all semantics.
The B20 and B18B share the same stroke. The increase in displacement comes from the 3mm of extra bore size, meaning that the peak power and torque points should be at virtually the same RPM range for both engines.
The only reason I can think of that may explain why the B18B felt like it had more top end power than the B20 would be that the B20 you had was 96-98 spec, meaning it only had 126hp. The B18B has ~145hp, and in comparison to a 126hp B20, it would feel like it has more top end power. I'm assuming that if you compared a B18B with a 99-00 spec (146hp) B20B/B20Z you wouldn't feel the same.
The 126hp B20B DEFINITELY falls on its face in the high end compared to a B18B and 99+ spec B20B/Z.

Re: DA Integra's Only
hes not putting a b20 in his CRX. his CRX already has a k20. hes putting it in the DA which has a beat *** LS right now.
Kyle i had an exedy flywheel with an exedy stage1 clutch on my mostly stock b16 and it never did anything like you were talking about earlier. I would have no qualms getting another exedy. i would look into them over fidanza

Appreciate the help. I went with a 12lb flywheel in hopes to help the gas mileage.

Re: DA Integra's Only
I bought my wheels because i like them not because of what other people think. I don't really care if no one else likes them. Your car is way to nice to put those wheels on. No need to get butt hurt. lol
