get the 2nd one seeing as its already obd1, the obd 0 would require extra work to run in your car

if your going to get a b16 you should just get a b18c. it is faster and not to much more expensive. from experience it is worth the extra money.

I agree with Jones04. I B16 isn't what it's hyped up to be...it may have 170 HP (minus a few because of the age) but only at high revs. I know people that were disappointed after the swap lol. Point is it has ****ty torque. Get an Integra motor or source parts for an Ls-Vtec motor, it would probably cost roughly the same as a motor from TorontoJDM.
Let the flaming begin.

Bottom line is YES!
You can fit any B-seies in your car......Some will require a little more work then others but all will fit.
You can put a B18b obd-1 in your ride easily.......we did one for my buddy a couple of months a'go.

^ bigger displacement = more torque = quicker acceleration
dont go b16 its too tiny.
heres a vid of my JRSC b18c5 stripped eg 227 whp 155 tq against some b16 stripped eg with stage 2 cams "untuned" he said.

his car sounds awful imo. Im in 3rd gear through the turns and the whole back straight.
heres a couple 4th gear pulls

get the b18c gsr motor if u can find one cheap. best motor for boost.
and the turbo kit/install/tune is gonna cost as much if not more than the engine and swap. boost is an expensive hobby!
