Default b16a1 or b16a2

i'm gettin another crx and i'm tryin to see if it is worth the money to pay the extra 300$ for a b16a2 motor and the extra 100$ for the conversion harness or just get the obd0 b16a1 and try to do other mods to it like cams or a port job.

Just go with the b16a1. B16a2 you have to mess with the whole hydro trans bull etc so go the simple route cable 1st gen b16

evryone makes it sound hard to go obd-1, its easy as hell, a conversion harness and cable-hydro tranny conversion kit and walla!~ you've got obd-1, personally being that i have had two crx's both with obd-0 b16a's in them, one of which i still have, and i've had freinds with 92-95 civics with obd-1 b16a's, no matter where you get it from or what they say, the obd-1 is always going to be a cleaner, more powerful engine and not have ticking valves after you drop it in, if you have the money i say go obd-1 for sure, better yet go obd-1 b18c if you've got the money, thats the way to go....crx+b18c+boost=owning everyone....

o i have experience converting obd1 and i've made some custom hydro lines b4. you get them at autozone for like 6$ and is indeed very easy .. but what i'm saying is is it worth it paying more for the power of a b16a2 compared to the b16a1 , i'm still going to use a y1 cable tranny. cause i dont know any thing about building up a motor and what to power expect so i'm asking for opinions. thanks guys

really?? not even a valve job would help? or even lets say gsr cams would make the b16a1 equal to the b16a2? i really want the b18c1 but thats an extra 1.5k more and i wouldnt have that kind of money to use for maintanance afterwards untill a year later
