but i like my b16. there's just something about the sound and the hig rpms possible. i don't know. 
i recommend the b18c1. it is a good starting point, has a lot more torque (isn't it like 30-something lbs-ft?). it's longer stroke is ideal for a high output 4-cylinder
yea, best bang for the buck, if you will...
the b16a2 and b18c1 are definetly the best swaps for the civic...
unless you can afford the type r's ... you bastards :madfawk:
anyway, thanks... that's probably what he'll end up doing... i told him go with HMotors like i did for lack of knowledge of a better place.
