First of all I have a 97 rs not a bad car but lacks the loved VTEC. I have two options right now, first I can get a B16A2 for dirt cheap and drop that in my ride.
Second I could get a USDM B18C for a lot more but I would get more torque with the B18C.
They both have the same HP at 170.

Is it worth putting the jdm B16A2 in my car?
