The jap-spec B16's do indeed make 170 hp, but at like 7800 RPM. That's not what I would call useable every-day power. For the amount of money you would spend on swapping a used motor that you don't know the history of, you could throw a bunch of money at the motor that's already in your car and get similar peak numbers but more power at lower RPM.
