I'm new here and I need advice. After reading over this and various other sites, I'm a bit perplexed. I did a swap of a b16a from a junker into my CRX, but I'm thinking of changing it out to a b18. Will the difference in torque be worth it since I use my CRX as a daily driver? Thanks in advance.

Best route, then when B16 dies take the head and make ls/vtec, but all in all do what you really want to do, you already have a gut feeling just go with it

 

Thanks guys. The LS/Vtec sounds like a winner. Also I can do this before the engine dies since I have my Toyota too. I'll need the extra torque for my trips back home to MO. Got mountains to go through...

 

B16 more tq = wheelspin

 

Not worried about that. I don't race it, I just like the power for my own enjoyment. Plus if wheelspin becomes a problem I'll just get a LSD and much better tires.

 

b18b just has more tq so yeah it will feel like its a lot faster from the get go...thats about it to me it doesnt seam worth it unless ur going to go ls/vtec

 

It depends on your situation but put it to you this way.. I'd gladly trade you my b18 for your b16

 

That settles it. I'll just buy a "new" b16 from a JDM Si and build the heck out of it. I want the most for my money since I'm modding 3 cars. I'll stick with what I know. Any other suggestions on how to get the most out of my daily driven rex?

 

dude Search we arent going to tell you what to do with ur money

 

I know, I'm not a forum newbie. I just thought I was making friends, maybe I could get a good dialog going or something. It's all good. Thanks for all the help so far.

 

To get the "most" for your money... just give your B16 a 7psi punch.

 

My vote: LS/VTEC with high compression.
