Default 91 B18a or (JDM) B16a1

just seeing if anyone has done this swap into a 91 dx hatch or not. If so how
was it to install? and how fast does it run? If anyone knows anything about
this setup please let me know. Thank you

question been asked many times.
swap is pretty easy if you got all the right parts, plug and play.

for you you need to convert to multi point fi before the swap thou

b16 will be faster, b18 u dont have to wire vtec or knock

b16 is much better in my opinion, but you'll find everyone has a different angle

b16 costs a lil more

i have had both .. i currently have the b18a .. i got rid of the b16 after about a month .. i didnt like it.. but different stroke for different folks.. some ppl swear by the b16.. it think they run close to the same just on different ends.. the Ls is great off the line and on the street. the b16 is really fun on the highway. the b16 is also fun on curvey roads. i am a person that like drag racing .. i found it was much cheaper and easier to make the LS go much faster than the b16 in the 1/4. there about the same to install .. the only differance is tha wiring . but the wiring isnt that difficult . the other reason i like the ls is parts are much easier to come across over the b16.for me atleast.
