if it is a stock bottom end then definitely go with the b16. the frankenstein motors are only going to last if you build it right. stock bottom end on a frankenstein just won't cut it.

b16.. more reliable it seems and also a dime a dozen.. b20 you'll have more troubles which equals more money to spend fixing those problems.. plus.. b20's are only good for straight line racing it seems.

Go B20, for driving impressions on the track check out:

If your gonna add a vtec head you might as well get an ITR motor, end up costing almost as much and not as reliable in most cases.
