keep it stock! less problems to deal with!

if a swap is a must built b20/vtec just don't rev it to 100,000,000,000,000 rpm, lol!

I like the b18c GSR, I know it cast about 1k more then a b16 but it's got 20more hp, and a CrVtec or LsVtec are big headaches, but they are worth it when they are working correctly( witch is MOST of the time)

keep the D16a6
You already have it and there are tons of Aftermarket parts for it. And it's great to break someone off and suprise them with the SOHC under the hood.
And if you have to have vtec then you could swap in a z6 or you can do a mini-me

A b18a is a good cheaper swap into an EF. A B16 just doesn't have the torque to pull a 91 si. And a GSR is alotta $$. This is just my opinion so don't flame me.

I am not really sure what they are worth, I was thinking 200 and I'll pay shipping. I also have the front mount so it is all 4 instead of the normal 3 that you get. You would need to get the place racing front bar to use it though or make a mount of your factory bar.

If the vehicle is in overall great shape, keep it all 100% factory stock. EF Civic Si's are becomming harder and harder to find without being messed with. The car was built with Honda quality and it will always be there to 300K or higher. I just want to find a 99-00 DX hatch 5 speed all stock. hehe
