Re: what motor is the best for the money? (AbaZ)
No d16a6 WTF...I voted zc dohc since its realy cheap to get and if you have a Si its a breeze to drop in..ZC DOHC and Si trans...is pretty quick for a swap that cost under $700 usualy....but anyother model I say b16a is the best bang for the buck just cost 3 times more than zc but will put ya in 14's n/a

b18a because you have the option for vtec later on and in stock form will kill any of the other swaps you have listed here. I dont care what others say about the b16a its a good quick wrapping motor yes but with the tourque you get from the b18a this is enough to over power the 160hp b16.

I didnt see a B18C1 so I voted for the B16. I have a CRX with a B16A, Im looking forward to the day that I get my VTEC working. Its still a ton of fun.
