Do some research.
The B17A bare block is actually identical to the B16A block. But the pistons, rods, and crank are different. The B17A crank gives you about 5mm more stroke. This is where the extra .1 liter comes from.The B16A has 160hp and 111lbs tq while the B17A has 160hp and 118lbs of tq.The B17A has the lowest compression of all DOHC VTEC motor of 9.7:1 compression,adding boost will make it go with a proper tune.
