RE: My brother thinks a b16 is better then a gsr
The B16 is the most over-rated engine known. They dont produce much more TQ than a D16Z6 or Y8. I didnt even consider a B16 when doing my swap. In resonse to lilpooh21186's comment, you cant judge an entire platform by 1 situation, where there are 2 cars. even if it happens all the time. Maybe your buddies GSR is running crappy, because I know someone with a B16 in a del sol, and I take him in my coupe.

the b16b head flows way better than the gsr head. the b16b head is the same cast as the b18c5 head, so it flows really well. it depends what you want to do with the engine. the only b16 i would take would be the b16b but if it was the gsr vs the b16b i would take the gsr. bigger block, more torque, andoil squirters which is great for boost the main reasons gsr is better. imo

Greddy_Civic: I think I mentioned that there are some reliable ls/vtec engines, but as I mentioned, they are the exception, not the norm. I think most people get only about a year on average from most of the people i've talked to. Maybe that's just cuz most of the people I've heard talk about them are the ones that things go wrong for, I'm just saying it will NOT be as reliable as a stock motor.

dumbass:
"look at me I am jdm and make 185hp at 9500rpm"
Me:
"how often do you spend your day driving at 9500rpm"
Dumbass:
"umm not much at all"
Me:
"so what power do you make at the rpm you shift at most of the time"
Dumbass:
"umm 150"
Me:
" how much tq"
Dumbass:

Me:
"Ha ha ha"
