a b16a swap is basically the engine from a 00-01 Civic Si (and a few others, :blah: ). It's got 160 (170 maybe? I always get its power #'s confused with the b17a) HP, and its dohc vtec. When transplanted into a smaller body, (ie, a civic hatch), you can get very decent times and still be extremely reliable. This is one of the most common swaps for a civic.
