Default B16 or GSR???

Should I keep my b16 or should I sell it and buy a GSR? I want more power. I was thinking of working the hell out of the b16, but not really sure what to do next. I already have I/H/E, and I just bought AEM cam gears(not installed yet). Thanx for your time and opinions, John.

GSR, no question at all.

Just get a 1.8L bottom end, be it a built ls or a gsr. Always go with the bigger motor.

A tighter gearing and final drive 4.7 or 4.9 will make your B16 hang with stock or mildly build 1.8Ls. Flywheel is also worth every $$$.

GS-R, all the way. Have you ever driven a car with a B16 then the same car with a B18C? There's no comparison. The B18C has a bit of torque, the B16 has none.

Would it be difficult to just swap to a GSR bottom end? What parts would I need? And how much would this swap cost? I drove my buddies 92vx with a GSR and WOW! That bitch pulls!

You can find a GSR bottom end for about 1000, and someone would probably swap it out for around 3-500.
