You're gonna need a lot of customizing to do to fit a b16, a lot of time and money which i think isnt even worth it. theres always the turbo route...

CLeeNx04CiVic has a little shameless behaviour in the past

b16a = NO TORQUE......waste of mine IMO...just save up for a k20a/k20a2

price wise.. which is more expensive? k20a or k20a2? as far as my knowledge goes, they're both about the same? about 6-7gs including labor, parts, etc.??

b16 is alot alot of work but it can happen. As far as people sayin no torque well thats why people drop them in lighter cars, plus turbo is alot of work and matienence. If u r on a budget just do a3 swap with cai,dcrh,e,raz stage 1 cams, k-pro etc step by step and u would be good to go.
