you pay what 4k for a b16a dropped into the car

So 4 k to spend right? Buy an LSD, Forged internals, CTR cams, port and polish the head and see how much change u get from the 4k

I did however come up with a list of needed items

• EK4/EM1 radiator (twin core)
• JDM cat back exhaust $750
• New Exedy OE clutch $300
• New fluids
• Seal kit (intake, exhaust, head, sump) $245
• Timing belt $85
• Water pump $160

anyone else care to add to the list of things I have to buy before going any forward

The price hike for an extra 10 horsepower (at the fly) isn't worth it IMO.

either get the b16a and save some coin, or spend the extra and get the b18c7.

Hardly... It's 10-15 hp less than the b18 type R.

As for 200,000 kms dont bother, you will be driving hard coz you want to go fast with such an engine and it will just blow like mine did with only around 130 XXX - 150 -XXX. Then it's another 4.5 grand to spend on a rebuild as i learnt from experience.

Also b16b is great fuel economy when driving grand-motherly but to really notice the go you have to be hitting v-tec 24/7. IMO just for the pure torquiness go a b18. I wish i did, but thats not to say i'm not extremely happy with the b16b
