have to rememeber the b20 comes out of a crv, is rated at whatever it dyno'd in the crv (probably through the auto trans)

with a 5spd and bolt ons a b20b will dyno 150whp and 135-140ftlbs

Either one would be good. The compression is pretty much low enough in the B20 to boost. And a boosted GSR is what I really want, it has a nice balance of top and bottom end and the VTEC with the turbo spool sounds uhhmazing. But it could also drown out the VTEC

This thread is becoming full of fail

Ive had all three

b16 is fun until you realize what torque is

turbo b series are all the same, all that matters at that point is how much boost and who can drive

yeah I vtec head will make more power all things being equal

all things being stock I would still take the b20, I dont like paying 4-500 dollars to replace a head

wait you like the way they sound better than a B20? I hope your not choosing a engine by the way that the engine sounds...

dude... go with a B20. theres no replacement for displacement!

with a B20 you can swap a vtec head on and you'll be looking at ~175-190hp pending which head you get.
if you plan to boost... youll have that extra displacement to handle that extra psi!
