B20B is probably a cheaper alternative & can potentially last longer with lower piston speed, higher rev potential etc...
The stroked B16B/B18C has torque... Lots of it.
But generally won't make power past 8800rpm (& that;s with high comp, cams, head work & ideal intake & exhaust)
TODA won the Japanese national Ghymkhana championship 3 years in a row with an engine like this...
That engine is still going today (here in Aust), albeit the head on 1 car & the bottom end in another....
Very interesting
I'm steering towards keeping the car n/a over a turbo, trying to decide whether i wanna stick with b or move onto newer technology
And 8800rpm is still high revving, and with the amount of torque it would create compared to the b16b i think it'll be a very possible option
