im debating with my friend about an integra swap.. he says the b16 would be faster because of the topend horsepower...but im thinking the b20z would have the advantage because of its torque??? any help? a gsr swap os tooo expensize at the moment and he has the chance to get either b16a or b20z

 

If it were my car, I'd chose the B20.

I installed one, mated to an auto trans, in my wife's DB8 and it felt adequate.
I don't know what a B16 would feel like in a DC chassis, but I've had one in a 5th gen coupe and it felt anemic. Fun when wound up, but essentially gutless in day-to-day driving.

 

the teg is pretty heavy i think the b16 would be a horrble choice they are to weak

 

what transmissions?

 

b16 trans

 

i say go for the b16 since you will be using a b16 trans as well! gutless in the lower revs it is, but how often are you taching below 5500rpms in a race with a b16 tranny:p

 

its pretty gutless up top also ive never been impressed by a b16 and a heavy car just kills it even more

 

haha its a hard decision!!! i guess i should save up for the gsr engine

 

if you plan on building the motor down the line anyway like complely just go with somthing cheaper keep the ls and save for a gsr head and some work

 

b20 with b16 trans

i had a b16 trans on my stock LS and outran some gsr's and beat up on my buddys 2000 si

so i know the b20 with a few bolt ons and b16 tranny would run pretty good

 

b20 now and then use b16 head later

 

This

 

B20 now and save for the gsr head.. b16 u will be wanting more in a matter of weeks

 

fixed

 

pretty much the first time you try gettin on the car and relize its not going anywhere
