Do a B20VTEC conversion.... The torque does makes a huge difference, peak power is almost meaningless which is something I dont think alot of ppl reallise.
spend your money on me i will make you happy. But yes definatly a b18c if you can afford it. Torque is to me more importand in a high reving honda engine that outright power. My Dc2r made 120 odd kw and 300+ odd NM-T and it was a freak on the track

Because this thread is not about B20's. It is about B18c vs b16a , and the options with each engine.
VTi-R , IMO spend your money on your existing engine.
I only mentioned B20VTEC as an option since it seems like the OP had overlooked it. Swapping from a B16a to a B18c, while being a better engine, does seem like a big waste of time and money IMO. If you want bang for buck and dont want a turbo then swapping out the bottom end with a B20b is the next best thing and Im talking first hand going from a B16a to B20VTEC.
Kinda rethinking the issue. Just for bang for buck and the learning experience and trying and seeing first hand what works best play with your b16a. Do your headers intake cat exhaust a set of cams maybe a port and ecu them later if you want throw a different bottom end under your b16 head. Bump up compression and capacity any you will have a freak on your hands

What rpm did the b18 make that torque at?
Keep the b16 get a lightened flywheel, toda b cams, hondata, itb's, spoon head gasket and u will shit over a b18 and not have to do a conversion, theres soo many ways to get some serious power out of a b16 that would be easier than doing the b18 conversion its just no one wants to bother with them anymore , 4500 will get you a preety damn fast b16
