worth the cost... hrm...
ok Im think here for a second..
how much hp/tq does a b16 in a crx put down w/ i/h/e ?
my crx has the i/h/e, lightened flywheel and a gude cam.
i bet a b16 doesn't put down that much more then my car currently does. I know its like what.. 20 more maybe?
not really worth the 1500 to swap one in.. ls/vtec should be my path huh?

Re:worth the cost... hrm...
well that depends on what engine you have now. a stock b16 is rated at 160hp, so with i/h/e, you may get around 10 extra hp, so around 170 hp. an lsvtec definitel has more power and tq. i have a b16 in my 00 si, and i'm prolly gonna build up a b18 block this winter for lsvtec.

DONT GET A B16! I got one and there slow stock. they have no torque. Almost anycar can beat me on the highway. now that i blew it im ganna build it up a little. Pistons and some other junk. but they still suck even built. Defently get atleast a b18 for some torque. B16's suck stock and they suck built.
To sum everything up = Dont get a b16

I had a B16A2 in my old 92 Hatch, it dyno'd 151hp, 103 ft lbs with a DC header and a homo-made shortram. The worst $:Power items I've ever bought to be honest... well besides those 10 tornado intake things
