Do a search there are plenty of motors that people have put into the crx's/hatches. Yes there are people running the Type R and the GSR motors. Also the LS motors LS/vtec's, b20 vtecs, All different kinds of motor swaps have been done out there.

Well a few posts down there is somebody talking about their B20 swap and over in the all motor board they favor the 1.8 and up.

You see so much about B16s because its the cheapest and easiest DOHC VTEC swap you can drop into an 88-91 Civic/CRX. To install a B18C1, you pretty much have to double your expenses. Also, you would have to convert it to OBD-1. Most people can't justify spending $2000 more for 10-20 more crank hp.

I just put a b18a1 in my rex and it pulls way harder than a b16a. I would rather have a LS than a b16a anyday. The only reason why people get b16a is because its vtec, and it has more hp than a LS, but it doesnt have more torque.

You're full of crap.

My B16a EF Civic would take a dump on your car, from a stop or a roll. You've obviously never gone for a ride in a lightly modded B16 CRX or EF civic

My stock LS will kill your lightly modded b16a, if its lighlty modded. Ill get you off the line because you dont have any torque, and after that u will have to play catch up, and i doubt very much if u will catch up. Whats your 1/4 time and whats your mods? And a EF is a civic.

2000lb CRX with B18a - 130hp, 130 tq
2050lb Civic with B16a - 160hp, 111tq

You are showing your *** by making a statement like that. You've obviously never gone for a ride in a CRX or a Civic with a B16. Whatever lead you would have from the start, we would be even by 3rd gear. Ask anyone that drag races in this forum if this is true. Do us all a favor and don't spread misinformation about things you don't know about.

Too bad you two dont live near eachother, that would be a good race to watch! Take your cars to the track, and post some times.

When your LS takes a dump in 3rd gear a stock B16 will pull on ya.

welllll .. i had a b16 and it was dissapointing hype .. i pulled that garbage out after 2 weeks and dropped a ls. for the money you spend on ls you can make it go way faster than the b16 (drag that is). now im sure on a autoxross or on a windy road a b16 will eat up a ls. and as for that 3rd gear my half priced non vtec cams can make up for that. just my opinion that you can make the ls go faster for cheaper.

Well said patch. long live the b16a!
I've had both so far.. a b18a crx and a b16a crx and although the b18a has the torque ... you WILL get passed once you hit third gear, unless you have a vtec tranny... both swaps are justifiable and both are plenty of fun.... however, the b16a wins.

Enough with this my motor is better than your motor crap. Both are good motors for the price and they both can be quick.


Yeah, you are right the only reason why somebody gets a b16 is b/c it has VTEC, you are exactly right, and what's your point?

MY b16a 3rd gear has mad pull!!!

LS vs B16a I have seen both B16a beat ls seen ls beat b16a.

If you have a strong b16a you would beat LS if ur b16a is a peace of **** to bad for you same for the LS

my friend ls runs 16s lol
my friends b16a ran 14.9.
also one off my friends LS ran about 15!!
