what are the pros and cons/hp/torque averages for the following:
b16head on gsr bottom end
gsrhead on ls block

also....for those of you who own or have driven both:b16 and full gsr engines- swapped into a civic coupe:is it worth it to spend more money and more hassle finding a gsr motor or just go with b16 and build it. in other words...if i bought a b16 and then later on got to drive a coupe powered by a gsr engine...would i be kicking my self in the ass because i went with b16 instead? thanks -tony

if you wanna actually feel the power go atleast a 1.8l or better
with a b16 the fact that it has no torque will make you kick your own ass

right the higher the displacement the more torque you will have you would enjoy a 1.8 much more than a 1.6

well i say either... the GSR is nice... if you have someone do the LSVTEC that knows what they are doing that woud be faster... but i am happy with my cx hatch with a strait up `97 GSR swap... well i am turboing it... so i am happy but you will always want more no matter what you get... remember that...
