well I picked b18c... not really the c but go ls vtec... thats what iam doing... just dont go to the shop I went to ... (Check my post)... my friend had a full blown b20 in his ek coupe... but he couldnt turn for ****... we took an S curve... turn fine on the first turn... and just drifted towards the curve on the next... front gets too heavy and momentum takes over. so w/ crx being lighter... i went ls vtec... actually... go b17... dont know much about it... but I heard it is easier... lol... I wanted that first...

b16 bolts in...
b17 ???? stronger than b16 ... lighter than b18 (so I guess)
b20 heavy
h22 woah momma... best only for drag!
k23 ????
thats my oppinion

why does everyone assume that the H22 in a CRX doesn't turn well????

if you were to search on the H22 in a CRX it isn't bad at all

I can't vote but I would ssay the b16a, if it will be a daily driver. Firstly easier to swap, secondly handling. But if only for the strip go bigger.

any B-series is just as easy to swap into a CRX as any other B-series. The only difference with a B18 or B20 would be the wiring, and thats only if you choose to go obd1. Other than that, a B16 is just as easy/hard to do.

You're telling me a B20 is too much weight in the front for an EK coupe? Sounds like your friend has some major problems with his suspension or something.

Unless you have a CRX from Japan or any country that got the CRX with the b16, you still need a mount kit for any B-series.

btw, I'd like to know what car the k23 came from...

whats that have to do with making the same post a million times...if you did a search you will see this is already covered and there are many factors to determine which engine is the best for YOU...

B16A+CRX=Low buck brawler

Best bang for the buck. Dollar for dollar, it's probably the most economical and best all around swap you can do.

see and thats where i differ and its all about opinion, for the price to install a b16a you might as well rebuild/build up a d16a6 or mini-me for that price and it will be new and have a better range of power than some old, high miled b16a...
