go b20, generally a cheaper engine and you will LOVE it
i dont see what all the hype is with kids and vtec....vtec blows
and i dont recall ever hearing a b16 pulling 14's without decent mods, i could be wrong but i dont think so....

HAHAHA. I guess its pretty easy blurting out a bunch of crap you read on these forums from kids who know just as much as you.....which is about NOTHING. And like SiZ says, those b16's must of looked over and saw some riced out 240 reving at them and didn't even bother racing you. Typical ricer. Get some more hands on knowledge and then come back and then maybe you won't get ragged on.
Now to get back to the topic is this thread, I would say that the b20 is a great motor, and even better with a vtec head slapped onto it, but unless you have a good amount of experience building up motors, I wouldn't recomend this to you. Sure the straight up b20 would be fairly easy to do, but the CRvtec is were it gets tricky. I had a friend who had a ls/vtec motor that he build himself and he ended up spinning a bearing and destroying his motor. Obviously because he didn't build it right. And to build it right its going to cost a good bit of money, like BamBam said.
So for my opinion, I'd say do a b16 swap, or if you really have the money do a b18c1 swap. And if you want more speed, this is were boost comes into play......you have so many options with honda's its not even funny. As my favorite quote goes....."Honda's are like legos..."
