Best Bang In A EG For The Money?
I need a better engine in my hatch but I can't decide on what I want. Right now my chocies are a b16a2 or a b18c1. Which would be the best swap to do? Looking to have a nice little n/a monster on in my hands.
Also, I'm gonna search, but people have said do an ls swap and then go ls/vtec. Is it good for daily driving?

get a d16z and turbo it,, for the money..
if you want NA go for b18 over b16 cuz torque rules, youd see more torque with a turbo d.... everybody and their mom has a b- series civic... seeing a nice turbo sohc would make my day

I went with with a B16 in my EG because it was a little cheaper than the GSR swap. Now I'm building a GSR block. In hindsight, I should have bought the GSR to start. Live and learn....

.."live and learn"... 
one cool thing about the CR-Vtec is that it says B20 on the block...
and my JDM head has a big "VTEC" (not "V-TECH") on the valve cover...

If money is an issue look into a straight B18b or B20b/z. Mate it with a GSR tranny and you have an easy mid 14 second street car. Torque owns man, in my car I rips most DOHC VTEC powered civics from the line.

D16z6 turbo Ls turbo , you can easily take one of these setups much further than what you would pay for a gsr. But once you turbo a gsr different story just decide what you would be happy with, gsr are great though.
