LS motors are fun. it is a big difference if you have a SOHC non-vtec now. what trim is your car? EX? DX?

B16's are even MORE fun though lol. not as much torque though

yea everything is true.
I have a 95 civic hatch with a 95 gsr all stock and I raced a eg hatch with a ls motor(non-vtec) and believe it or not but he was starting to pull away after 4th gear. sad but true

If you want torque and a cheaper swap go with an LS,
If you're after higher REVS and have money at hand, spend a few bucks more over a B16 and get a GSR swap.
A B16 is only good for their heads.

Either one will be fun depending on what you like. I like torque and the B16 has very little so I swapped in an LS. Plus I will be boosting sometime.

I have my LS with a GSR Tranny in my 93 EJ1 and I like it, its fun.
