It might have more torque but it sucks on top end. B16 will beat it on top end. Anyways let me throw in a suggestion here. Get a fully complete b16a first gen head. Get a gsr/type r bare short block and build it from scratch. Thats what i did. You can finda complete head for 250-400. 1.8 gsr/type r shortblock for around 400-550. I bought a complete b16a swap with installation ( me and my guys did it) for 2000. As i done my research after i got the swap, i could've done the poor mans type r swap. I'm an all motor guy so 1.8 is a must if you want to hit 12s. You'll get nice torque and nice top end power.
