You don`t just drop in cams, you need gears + tuning. So there`s another $600-____ (total)you can put towards a 1.8.
Btw, I`ll say it again, b16 in a light eg is "fun", but a b16 in an ek is a pig.

I know the GSR is a better motor, but i've seen b16's with CTR cams beat stock GSR's a million times. A stock GSR motor ain't shiet.
1.8 or go home? I could of picked the GSR, but i didn't want to spend a grip load of money on a damn Civic. I had a limit on how much i would want to spend on my Civic and the b16 was the perfect choice. I would only get a GSR or a Type-R if i got a really good deal on it. A b16 is good enough for me unless you plan on building a drag racing Civic.

Re: (b16 or b18)
i love my b16 swap with just bolt ons it is very quick
my buddy has a 93 DX coupe 2150 lbs with LS motor, mine weighs 2300 with b16 both are with 1/2 tank of gas minus passangers and he has same bolts ons then me from a dead stop i whoop him if we do a roll and im not in vtec he will pull me till i hit vtec them once again i beat him, he does have a better weight and torque advantage over me but i still win
i have also beat hatchbacks with gsr motor with minor bolt ons from a roll and a dead stop

Had the b16 sir II in my 92 gsr (blew my b17) and I loved it! had all the bolt ons, was quick and fun. My brother also had a EF with a B16 in it and I loved driving that thing too.

Re: (b16 or b18) WHICH IS BETER FOR A DAY DRIVEN EK???????
This is a very old thread. That being said, I'll chime in with my 2 cents. The B16 engine is terrible for daily driving. It's gutless anywhere below 4500rpm, the transmission keeps the RPMs high on the highway, and it's really only fun when you rev it out, which you can easily do in a B18C or in a properly built B18b or B20. Add VTEC to either of those and even if it WAS a contest before, it's a contest no longer. More displacement = better, period.
