Um, the b16b is better of course..
The jdm b16a has 170hp, the b16b has 185 with higher compression, redline, and higher-flowing head. The price difference is a pretty penny though.

I pretty much agree with this. For the extra $2-$3k, you could get a better head for the b16, and if you go f/i, the higher cr isn't going to do a thing for you, since you will likely swap them out for lower cr forged internals if you go high boost. But, the ultimate decision is up to you.

The b16b is worth the price if you just want an engine and won't mod it further..
For a good f/i base I would have chosen something different, but the b16b is a good choice for a daily driver. It's good for cool points at shows or whatever too, but I really don't care about that stuff, just got it because it's a cool engine.
Now if you're asking about a B16A and B18B, the B16A has 20 more hp, higher redline, mad tyte vtec, but a tad less torque.. which won't really matter. The B18B can be turned into a turbocharged monster though, so swap that if you plan to spend your college funds on the car down the road.

Re: b16a or b18b? (Ricochet.)
B20, with b16 LSD tranny, 8lb flywheel, I/H/E, chip and stage 1 cams. Lots of torque and lots of fun. I had that about a yr ago in my HB... wish i hadn't sold it.
