id say no..save a little more and put a b18c1,5,R in it....read my thread about how to make the b16a have more tourqe....its a good motor if thats all you can afford and thats what you really want but once you start driving youll wish it had more power

Well, aside form telling you to search "b16a" for this...
If it was good enough for Honda to put in the SiR/VTi EK, then it's probably good enough for you.
With good driving, you'll have no problem running 14.9 in the 1/4 with I/H/E. The car will have great balance for auto-x/roadrace and will be a great overall driving experience.
That said, I'll let everyone else tell you to go B18C1

After new axles, a $500 mount kit, and all the extra blah blah blah, H22 is not the cheap option for an EK. Killer swap, just not as cheap as a direct bolt-in B16A.
Why, oh why do these always turn into a 'my swap is better than yours' debate?!

Or ya shoulda slapped on a snail, reved up to 10g, and blew all those b18s away. But dont worry, I'll start up where you left off.

i think that you should do what you want. even if that is a b16a in an ek. all that matters is that you like it.

Re: what do you guys think about a b16a for an ek? (R you serious)
aparently no one saw my first post...
skaaaaaaate
skaaaaaaate
if not for starting with a ZC i would have never started anywhere so why not start somewhere....b16 is a budget engine and well worth the moneh!!!!!
yes the b18c1 and c5 are better engines but a better driver with a b16 is gonna roll those other drivers...cause i did....i even rolled people when i had just my b20 NON VTEC in the car....i have video of me hitting the hazzards on type r's when i had just the b20 in the car.....that's 55 hp less than a type r....soooo booo yaaaa

This is the funniest reply I've ever read in my honda-tech life. You be sure to let me know when you find cams that will make power at 10,000 rpms with a turbo on a b16. Then we'll talk. HAHAHA
