I have a b16b in my 97 Civic Ex and I love it. I got a good deal on it, so I bought it. I paid 3800 for it. Thought about a b16a or a b18c1 but the price was not that much of a difference. For the most part b16a2 run about 3000 and b18c1 run about 3500. The thing is everybody has b16a's and b18c1's. I'd rather pay 300-800 get more power and be different and rare. Just my opinion.
