B16 i believe that terry proved that myth wrong that they don't put out power PM him or me if you want info about them
[QUOTE]
you must remember he has a built motor(and stroked i believe), not stock.......but i do agree with you, b16's can be some pretty nasty motors, along with any other motor once its fully built, but if hes looking for a strong stock motor to drop in his car id definitely go with any vtec motor, they put out more power than the ls or the b20, they might lack in the area of torque, but there peak power more than makes up for it........

ya, an h22 in a 5th gen crx/civic i know for sure isn't a street legal swap. To damn big of an engine. Can't turn properly and all that, even research it.

Re: CRX swap, which one??
as far as i know, the only illegal swap brought up here is the crv swap. it's considered a "truck" and therefore cannot be transplanted into any car. the h22 i believe would be legal, since all h22's are newer than the chassis of the crx. however, if you're going to get a japanese engine, you might as well kiss maintaining a "legal" car goodbye, unless you go through TONS of hassle to get the dmv and state police to approve the swap.
i would just find a decent jdm b16a. one can probably be found for less than $1500 for tranny and all, and it would be an almost direct fit.
good luck!
