I'm purchasing an EG6 hatch soon and looking to swap in a b16 and go for an all motor setup, in the end I'm looking for 13's and some nice handling. As far as all motor engine mods, after the usual I/H/E what should I go for. The reason I'm going with a b16 instead of b18 or ls/vtec setup is just because it's more cost effective for me. So after I/H/E where should I go?

 

if i had to do this again wait longer for funds and start with b18c ..... b16 are fun i know b/c i have one and hounger for power never stops so just take my advice..

 

i have to agree with this guy on top of my post, i feel the same way, i got my B16 becuase of cost and becuase i believed it would powerful enough for my hatch, but ur gunna get tired of it quick becuase of power. i would just go with a GSR and get ur I/H/E and that should get u in high 13's...

 

Agreed... I've got a B16 in my hatch now.. it runs 13.2 and I think I could squeek it a little faster with some higher compression. I'm a dick and run a stock bottom end... That's where the issue is. The motor is out now and in goes something new. Here's a hint- It's not a B16... Save up and buy a bigger displacement block, you'll fall in love with the torque.

 

i've had a b16 in my sol , then i built a 12.3:1 compression ls/vtec and have never been happier

 

Another reason I was considering a b16 is because my room mate has a 2000 Si so he's very familiar with the motor and can help me with any issues. His brother has a built and boosted b18 (GSR) in an old integra, so they are both very familiar with hondas and can help me out a great deal and since I'm only looking for 13's would a b16 be sufficient?

 

that depends... do you like your interior?

 

13's is prettying achiechvable w/ a 92-95 and B16. What model do you have are you looking to do it full interior and street tires, stripped and slicked or what?
