B16 B Civic Type R?
Hi I currently have a 6th gen sir 2 jdm motor in my car and was thinking of trading it in and upgrading to a b16b motor. Would it pretty much just bolt in? Would I need to rewire, replace ecu or anything else? I could keep my tranny correct? Its the hydro one.

Re: B16 B Civic Type R? (chad)
Would I need a short block or a long block then? Would the short block have all the neccessary components(I know sometimes they are missing the camshafts, which I need). Do they even sell the b16b's like that, in short block form? Please help anyone. Thanks.

CTR motors are expensive as hell. Unless you want the exclusivity of having the CTR engine, bet a B18C1 from a GSR. It would have a little less HP, but it would cost a lot less money. You could modify the B18C with the leftover money modify it and make more powerful and have more torque.

The b16B is actually a destroked B18C5. Yes, a destroked ITR motor.

A b16b is not a b16a with better cams. It is a destroked ITR engine.
