You will be way out of your budget. Do the b16 or get a cheap d16z6 and turbo the little engine that can.

When this guy said this:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by jdmcars.com &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I would say B16A. Good power for not a lot of money. </TD></TR></TABLE>

And you said:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by doodooheadfart &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">no mounts bro</TD></TR></TABLE>

What exactly did you mean? Because when you ask about a GS-R swap, you're gonna be getting new mounts too.

"the crossover sound isnt as noticeable" your kidding right? Your serious right? Who cares wtf it sounds like. On a good set up there is no difference.

Have u owned both...prob not i have...i enjoyed driving the b16 much more the the gsr...

You dont need a mount kit for a B-series in a 92-00 civic. You just gotta know what factory mounts will work. 96-00 you need 99-00 si upper driver side engine mount and a 99-00 si rear engine bracket.
92-95 you need a 94-up integra rear engine bracket and upper tranny mount.
