It really does depend on what you want....there are perks to both of the motors.

i've had both motors..
B16=D series torque...have to rev to have fun...which vtec is fun
b18b= willing to spew torque up the *** for you in a lightweight civic..

if you wanna have fun...b16...
if you wanna win races i'd go b18b...but even then i wouldn't get carried away
