Questions before I buy the motor
I'm going to buy a B16b and put it in my 94 Civic DX. I know I have to add a wire for VTEC. What engine harness do I need to buy? I beleive I've read that the USDM ITR harness will work correct? Also I'm going to run a Kenji P28, so I don't have to wire for knock or second O2 correct? What timing belt and water pump is used? I would think one from the ITR or GSR would work since the b16b has the same deck height. Can anyone recommend a clutch? I'm going to change the clutch and flywheel and my hp goals right now are in the 170-180 range. Hopefully when funds become available I'll go over 200 that's in the future, but I'd like to be prepared. If I'm forgetting anything please feel free to add. Also does anyone have a comprehensive list of all the special tools and fluids I'll need? TIA

IMHO...dont get the b16b..HUGE waste of money....Just get the B18c5 if you plan on spending that kind of money!
EDIT: Youll also be in your 170-180 WHP with the c5

Re: Questions before I buy the motor (EK-TUNED)
skeletor - go with the b16b like YOU want. act and excedy make good clutches and i think your correct on the water pump being the same as itr or gsr. a good header and tuning will help you closer to your goals. for all you haters the b16b is the second highest hp/liter to the s2k.
why cant people just answer questions instead of just saying what everyone else says, just get a b18c5 god cant you people think for yourselves

I don't want an ITR motor. It's 1200 more which give me no money for a nice header and tuning. I also want to see what I can get out of the b16b and if I get bored with the power, I'll throw in an ITR crank.

b16b 
Its a great motor...revs forever.
As for a clutch/flywheel i have an act with a jun flywheel and love it. The timing belt should be the same as the b18c (correct me if im wrong) and same with the water pump.
