Where did you see someone recommend the B16B??? Some lucky people do still get good deals on them but that's rare nowadays. We recommended the B18B from an acura integra non-vtec if you want to go turbo. Or if you'd like "VTEC" but don't want to spend the extra money a type R engine would cost... get the gsr. Keep in mind... the gsr will be alot of fun (and highly addictive) due to the high redline.
Hydro type means later model hydraulic actuated transmissions. That's the type of tranny that comes standard in later model honda's and acura's. By getting a hydro type tranny it'll make it easier and cheaper to install in your car. :wink: :thumbup:

Oops... sorry Snoopy!
self( :slap: )
:thumbup:

Yeah... a B20 turbo would provide really good horsepower and torque numbers but reving it too much will seriously shorten the life of the engine. Unless of course you build it.:naughty:

Usually when you buy a engine off of the net it is a complete swap. It will include the engine, tranny, axles, mounts, ECU, etc. Pretty much everything that you need to swap it over.
