Umm, you should be able to do that swap no problem, so long as you get a B16 with a cable trannsmision.

Whatever you do, do not order your motor online - thats what i did, and then i found out all the puertoricans in my area have B18C's and what not - all of them.

Why not get an integra ls motor and but a B16 head on it? There is a guy near me who has that swap in his CRX - now that thing is quick!

i know the b16 should mount in the engine bay just fine but what im talking about is actually hooking everything up like the wiring harness and the axle shafts and that good stuff. plus when i get the b16 im also getting a stroker kit whitch will bring me to a 1.8 so i will be able to fool alot of people on the road when they see that there is a b16 under the hood but what they wont see is that it will be stroked out to a b18.

Dont bother strokin it - just turbo it!

When i pop my hood, most think its a GSR motor, cause they dont know about the positioning of the intake manifold (different on both motors)

Plus, for the price of a B16swap and a stroker kit you could buy a GSR motor.

im already going to turbo it with a garret T25 turbo but that wont be enough power plus the stroker kit comes with pistons rings and all the other fun stuff that go along with that.
