And God said"let me chirp in 2nd" and it was so...
I will soon join the dual overhead camshaft world, my sleeping cx with the popped piston ring will be tossed from its eg shell and replaced with a b16a2 Holleluya! No more closing my eyes and mashing the gas to merge into freeway traffic. No more watching tailights get increasingly smaller on backroad street-races. Praise him! Now... Now this day is soon upon us. I will be one of you brethrin... I will be.... a Hybrid. Give him thanks! Holleluya!

Even with CTR cams, r intake, RS*R 4-2-1, etc, the B16A is a dog anywhere below 7000RPM. Maybe I'm just spoiled by my SC Civic.

<<Haven't seen an N/A B16 that can touch(no pun intended)a mildly tuned b18c1.

B18C will eat a B16 everytime (Assuming they have the same mods). Get a B18C (Even if you have to save a little while longer, it'll be worth it).

Re: And God said"let me chirp in 2nd" and it was so... (two.oh)
Whether people are jumping on a bandwagon or not, I don't own a B20. You won't see a B16 under the hood of anything I own either. There is no denying that a B16 is torqueless or that a B18/B20 is a better place to start. I've rode in many B16 powered hatches/coupes and most of the stock to lightly modded ones feel like an EX until you get wayyyyyyyy up to about 7K - that's not practical for normal street driving/racing. Horsepower is more easily obtainable than torque, so why not start off with a better engine - B18B, B18C, B20, H22?

i like my b16 but i would get a b18c if i did it all over again. it just takes too much to get it going. it has absolutely no torque. if you just want a quick daily driver then a b16 is ok for you. it suits my daily driving purposes for now. when money permits it will be going over to the dark side or getting a 1.8 or 2.0 block.
