B18 more than B16?

Why does the B18 cost so much more than the B16, but only have 20 more hp. For the differance in cost, could you not add much more than 20 hp to a B16? What are the other advantages of the B18 over the B16?

I find the 1.8L to be much better for daily driving. Assuming that you're talking about the engines in the same type of car (ie. B1/B16 in Civic, not B16 Civic vs. B18 Teg), I notice the difference on the low end a lot more. IMO, it is worth it to spend the extra money on the 1.8L.

20 horses may look like nothing to u, but look at the extra torque that you get from an 1.8L
