Good setup if you do it right. You have a lot more potential with a 2.0L.

sick numbers bro for all motor.

b16 tranny will have the shortest and quickest gears besides ITR tranny... i personally like my b16 tranny. if you ever boost make sure to sleeve the block or you will blow it.

GSR head flows better on a B20 but if I were you, I'd go B18B bottom end w/ a B16 head, you can rev higher with a 1.8

That is true but why not just make that power lower in the Rpms lol plus I rev mine to 8k and have the Rev Limiter set at 82k so I think a B20 Vtec is sweet plus girls like it bigger lol

I think a woman would sacrifice a tiny bit in size for a longer, better ride.

lolz at n00bs.

The flow difference between these heads is negligible, stock for stock, neither flows significantly better than the other.

I'm not too sure what you mean about "ghetto fab" to get it to work, golden eagle makes a very nice VTEC conversion kit, and other then that it's all OEM parts.

The rod bolts are one of the "weak" spots in the B18A/B bottom ends, shot-peen the rods, get some ARP rod bolts, and as long as the bottom end is put together correctly it'll spin to 8k just as safe as a VTEC block.
