99 EK.. stock motor sucks any suggestions?
i got my car like 2 months ago and i know that this topic has been gone over time and time again but i want to know if i should go with a B16A2 out of a USDM civic SI? ( and i would like to know if it is truly BOLT IN/ PLUG AND PLAY) or as my friend suggested a B18C1 out of a GSR... <--- i think that is to much work. any suggestions?

go with the b18c its way better, and if u know anyone with any electronic skills they can rewire ur stock harness it doesnt take that much, i have a gsr in my ek and its basically stock and i ran a 13.29@101, good luck

B18c1 would be nice and i could probibly do the swap myself i am mechanically inclined.. but im new in the honda game and would worry about taking on a task that large and to tell you the truth i wouldnt trust anyone but myself with my car... so it puts me in a bit of a dituation here..... i think i would like to do the b16a2 swap but i need to know if it is truly plug and play with the exeption on running V-Tech wires?

b18c and b16 are the same swap....no differences besides the vtec wires..
just make sure u get the right year and right OBD...

It's basically the same swap. USDM B18C1s are far easier to find than USDM B16A2s, and conveniently, they have more power. No replacement for displacement . . .
