Similar peak power (i.e. the torque drops off earlier with the B20) but I bet the extra torque of the 2L kicks arse for driving around town. I'll let you all know the difference in a couple of weeks when I finish my B20VTEC with B16 gearbox.

Frankenstein Mod ->> Nice
btw are you going to fully rebuild the motor because its only worth doing if you do it that way. its just ive seen them done before but smoked not long after!
Stock block, stock B16 head with GSR cams. I had the head, oil lines and studs from an old LS/VTEC so it was only a $500 investment to bump up to 2L. The primary interest is the extra torque from the 2L block, combined with the extra torque from the shorter 2-5 gears of the B16 box. At Wakefield I feel like I need a little more oomph going up the hill from turn 2, and especially after the fish-hook.
Now I've spent many times more than the $500 on the gearbox, oem pumps, seals, gaskets, LSD and all the good stuff so you might ask, why not spend another $500 on some high compression pistons? Well outright power is not my concern - overall reliability and ease of tuning is. You've driven a stock B18A - it doesn't need much extra to push it from the "almost" to the "fun" category.
I'm not worried about 'smoking' anything - setting the rev limit in the low 7000rpm range, depending on how it feels falling back.
You can try to argue that it's not worth it, but then the onus is on you to provide a cheaper way to get more power. Rough (and very conservative) estimations yield an increase of 25% in area under the curve from rev-limiter to the fallback rpm in each gear - should be worth a good few seconds at Wakefield, and hopefully a lot more fun.
Hey guys i need sum help my mechanic said that im gona need 2 replace my injectors and was wondering besides jst getting replacements wat options do i hav in the way of upgrading im also considering a new Fuel rail
my mechanic said that i have to replace my headlight..i have the halo or angel eye head lights..how much would a original pair of head lights set me back?..your help is appreciated
replace the whole head light..he's a family friend and he said there stuffed.. and have really dodgey wiring and cheaply made..he didnt say what was wrong exactly but on my drivers head light the bulb has actually came loose and its dangeling there (it pisses me off when driving at night)..and the right light has gone out but the blub is fine..so i was just thinking of replacing the whole headlight all together..
P.S if you cant find some good OEM ones, ebay have some nice aftermarket ones, like the black JDM style ones with amber corners and stuff, should set you back around 220 bucks or so
good luck
I have a pair of OEM ones from my da as Im using crystal ones, however keeping onto them incase something happens to the cheapy crystal ones, its always a good idea to keep oem parts
