If you're going to go for a B series, why not get a GSR? Its worth the extra money IMO

This guy is right. A B16 feels like a D16 until you hit VTEC. The low-end "torque" of a GSR is a lot better off the line. Just my 2 cents..

either b16 or b18, the lsd is verry much worth the extra cash just for the better handling alone

Yeah. Screw boost, it's not like you could build you're own turbo kit and make more power for the same price, with a D16. Just bustin' ballz. But seriously, as already stated, a SiR-G (B18C) engine is well worth it over a B16A. That or boosting a D-series

Ls/V FTW!!!! or BOOSTED LS FTMFW!

Better than the torqueless wonder of the b16. I would just buy a cam and build the D then waste my money in a B16. You want more torque liek a b16 than get a CAM.

i must say i have a b16a with the lsd, and ya traction is there but with just IHE and cam GEARS (i know nothing but still like to say) along with a six puck unsprung clutch without vtec (throwing a vss code so vtec not working) i still can chirp third not going above 6k. i havnt had vtec since replacing the clutch, except random times. and it spins in second with clutch and vtec, and catchs slowly with the lsd. from my experience i love the lsd tranny. i would say go for it.

b16 = slooooow.
you are gonna spend 2500$+ by the time it's all said and done with engine maintenance and such

for 2500-3000 you could have a running H22 swap with basic bolt-ons and 190whp/150wtq+ .... much more than the flywheel numbers of your b16

or a fully built turbo D16 with 350+ hp

if u gonna go all motor, depending on what kind of money u got go for k20, b18c5 or b18c. b16 is so weaker but more reliable in a long run because it isnt as torque-y. plus a b15c1 cost about the same as b16 and much more potential

not sayings the car will break but its harder on the engine at high rpm. if you maintain it well then it wont matter
