Default d15B vtec compared to d16a6 Si. which is better?

right now i have a crx SI with an a6 fully rebuilt to oem specs.. just bored out a lil.. basic bolt on mods.. i was wondering if it would be worth the money to get a d15B Vtec motor and swap? or is it basically jus gonna be the same as my SI motor?

No.

The d15b VTEC has 130 HP and the d16a6 108 HP.

i think the d15b is a much better engine for a crx, i just got mine in this week and im having a strange problem with it cutting out at wide open throttle and it has no vtec but its still faster than a crx si engine... the 9 pound flywheel probally helps too

Get a cam to help the D16A6 breathe at Higher RPM
it would STOMP the D15B VTEC

Exospeed comes to mind
