I don't think either one is better they have 2 different design concepts in one easy to make block
B16- Top end, high end, better geometry better induction design.
b18- Mid range, perfect for road racing
B20- I know it wasn't mentioned, All motor anything.

B16
pros- good motor, basic bolt ons would make you happy(Type R cams), good rod/stroke ratio
cons- lack of torque, deck hight sucks

B18C
pros-good motor, basic bolt ons would make you happier,
cons-umm expensive?

H22-kills competition in my opinion, dont buy none of that terrible handing shikaka.

B18C is the way to go if you can... You get more power out of an H22 but who gives a ****... you have to get a mount kit, custom route the linkage. If you really wanna have power build the GSR or CRVTEC. understeer is also a bitch with the H22 because of the weight. my friends CRVTEC in his EK runs 12.6@107 all motor full interior daily driven.... I don't think an H22 is gonna do that even tho it is 200cc's bigger.... In the end it's what you wanna do but if you are just planning on leaving the motor internally stock for now but may be building it in the future i would just go with a B18C.

So. My friend runs 11's in his CRVTEC powered CX hatch, daily driver(of course he ran on slicks).

I know this other guy with an EK COUPE(2500+ lbs) with just intake, header and exhaust(stock cat) running 12.9, in fully street trim. So what now busta?
