Are you honestly asking this? B20/VTEC!!!
Just buy some new pistons for the B20 and then use your b16 head and tranny and get it tuned and you will be set.

Re: B16a2 or B20z (GetawayInMoscow)
no modding the engines
i'd love b20 vtec but saving for a tsx swap
k24>b20/vtec
and also i need to sell one or the other to balance out my budget so i can't keep both
only pick 1 motor

Its tough to say, the B16 can be a fun motor because of the high rev and that "MAD VTAK," but also I find myself complaining about the lack of torque it has, especially in my heavy *** EM1. Lately I have been thinking about a B20, but that would be for a B20vtec in my case. Honestly I would keep the B20Z you have in your car now and sell the B16. Its obvious that you really want the K24 so dont even waste your time with swaping motors now.
I hope I helped

K24 > B20VTEC huh?
Not for the money. If you already have a B20 and have a B16 swap sitting around there is no way you are going to tell me that a K24 is a better option. Build the B20 with the money you would spend on a stock k24 and you will kill a K24 swap.
