Um you can get a mid-built b16a ready to go with trans for about 1.5g's id get it here though the ones that are being imported from japan are not passing smog in the US Dropping motor in? **** if you live in LA Il do it for you for $600 take me 5 hrs tuned. but a shop like $1,600

F20C ftmfw!11!1

but anyway, b20/b16 frankenstein swaps are amazing. Withjust a simple b16, it's not going to feel much different than a d16 until vtec hits (or so I've heard).The b16a pretty overrated engine, to be honest. That's not to say it's not a good engine, but for the same price, you could get a more powerful b18.
