The b16a is the 92-95 SiR motor in Japan, it was a very common motor at the time. The b16b was found in the Civic Type R model. This motor wasn't massly produced and is very expensive. For the price of this motor, you can get a b18c that will put out more power than the b16b.

B16A Specs:
170 HP
113 FT/LBs TRQ
10.4 Compression
Price (www.hmotorsonline.com) Complete Change Over: $2250.00 + Shipping.

B16B Specs:
185 HP
117 FT/LBs TRQ
10.8 Compression
Price (www.hmotorsonline.com) Complete Change Over: $3850.00 + Shipping.

Not worth the money IMO.
