Should I go with the Japan-spec B16A which was used in the Civic SiR (In Japan), Del Sol, and most recently the 99 and 2000 Si or the LS motor from a Integra mixed with a V-TEC head from a GSR. I have heard that the LS motor mixed with the V-TEC head is a very strong motor that has low end and lots of top end, which is rare for a Honda motor, as that is what is lacking from the B16A. Also I heard that the bottom end of a LS is basically bulletproof as I plan to turbo my CRX. With the B16A, it is a lot cheaper to do and still has V-TEC, but lacks the low end until about 5500 rpms when the V-TEC kicks in and also lacks the torque that the LS provides. I would gladly appreciate the opinions of others.
