Default b18b good swap?

Is a b18b a good swap for my 90 CRX DX? I want to know how much HP these push out, and whats the best route to go with this? Like N/a or turbo or what? I would like to go N/A though. And what kind of shift linkage would i have to get for this swpa???

I would actually choose the b16a for a crx body due to it's lighter weight ...but it's up to you..any larger engine in a CRX makes it a very quick car...and the b16a is an excellent platform and very reliable .. but if you choose the B18a/B LS expect 115whp/113lbs torque @ the wheels... compared to 138-143whp and 99-102lbs torque from a b16a SIR(88-91 motor) or skip both and go with a gsr motor and a b16a cable tranny
