SEARCH THE FAQ THREAD....man. SEARCH THE SEARCH FUNCTION FOR GOD SAKE....its an epidemic. BTW....B16 = no torque....
EDIT: Yes I am in a bad mood. For the B16 the best way to get quick power is a turbo kit. It seems to work for all my friends. They still have trouble with my B20/Vtec though....

Well you have to decide if you want NA or FI. If you want FI, go turbo. If you want NA, build it up.

B16 is great with turbo ... people talk alot of **** about the b16, but it's a good engine. It also does okay NA .. UnsungEM1 ran 14.4's in his Si, with a full interior ... had some bolt ons and CTR cams.

Re: more power out of a b16 (allmtr)

its easy to get around 280whp out of a stock internal B16A with F.I., building it would probably put you around 180-190whp depending on how you build it, and that would probably cost just as much, if not more than putting a turbo on there. most of the people on this site seem to dislike the B16A because of its lack of torque, but i think it's just all personal preference.

Evidently you don't have a clue what your goals are.
