Re: what is the best AFFORDABLE engine swap (KamikaZeKid34)
b16's are not too weak for integras. they used to come in tegs in japan and australia for years. I saw a 91 teg in honda tuning that had a b16 swap and was pulling better numbers and times than his stock b18a.
Is your b18b blown?
If u can still use the block u could always get a b16a head and drop it on there, that would be real cheap and give u tremendous results. (generally about 40whp).

Definitely B20! LS motors SUCK! Just remember to get at least a 1994-1995 LS intake manifold since the 1990-1993 LS intake runners are smaller than the B20 intake ports. Or better yet, get a Skunk2 intake manifold.

Cant go wrong with a semi built B16, you could do some headwork on an SIR1 B16, and you will be well into the 14's

B20 or B18B - either way you've got a newer motor, more tq and hp and an easy install. Both would be great for a VTEC head or boost later on when you have more $.
