I think it's worth it. I have a b16 powered CRX. And I am selling it to buy a 5th gen hatch. Then I am gonna swap in a b18b. Even though the b16 has more hp, the b18 is better for FI. And that's what I'm going with. After I upgrade the internals, I am putting on a turbo.
I don't need no stinkin VTEC.
