I prefer the low end torque over the high end revs of a B16. That's what made me choose the B18B1 for my CRX.

i have an ls in my hatch... its alright nothing special.... i just put i/h/e on it and im going to save for a new engine... only thing you can do with an ls is go ls/vtec or turbo it.. no one really builds up ls engines. i think im going to save my money and build up a b16.

I'm running a '96 b18b in my '94 cx. Got the swap at a good price and it's really easy to do. Now that I have plans for a turbo I'm glad I went with the b18b. Plus the money saved from not getting a b18c can be put towards the tubro

My swap was a total of $1500 (96 LS B18B swap and he threw in an OBDI P75 ECU). I only paid about $1000 out of pocket. I sold my D16 for $550. And i paid $0 labor....
I got my swap from a guy in PA. It came from a wrecked 96 LS (Ran the VIN# before i bought anything)....
