Default LS,B16a1, Or LSw/B16 head

I'm going to be getting a crx soon i was just wondering what the best swap would be. When giving ur opinion take to mind that I'm not going to be taking my car to the track just want a good set-up that will allow me to beat the cars in the city. Either a b16a,LS, or Ls with b16 head? And The advantages and diadvantages of each swap. thank you for your opinion

If you aren't intimately fimiliar with Honda engines, don't even consider an LS/VTEC hybrid. That is a more advanced engine best left to a second or third project.

I do not condone racing "in the city," however the B18A "LS" would be better suited for the task. It has more torque and a lower redline.

when doin ls-vtec an ls w/ b16 head puts out more displacement:thumbup:......though finding someone to machine the head right so you don't leak oil like a biatch is the fun part. If not done right you leak and burn oil to fast and will fock up the motor
