b16a vs 94 LS

[b16rex]

i'm swapping an engine into my 88 crx. which engine would run a faster 1/4 mile time? any help is appreciated.

I think the b16 would jdm b got 170hp ls has 142hp as for the tq the ls would get a better start but shortly down the line the b16 would win the
1/4

You'd probably want the 160 hp non OBD 1st gen B16A. Just an easier swap but you'd still pull a better time than an LS

Thanks for the info. I went into horizon and got a quote for the complete changeover. it was 3000 for everything including new water pump and timing belt, is this a good price?

That's average. I assume the engine, tranny, ecu runs around 1400-1500 and other parts and labor runs around the same.

B16a from SI-R 1 is the best idea here. An 88 is cable trans, and also non-OBD. The 94 LS engine would be hydro trans and OBD 1, way too much fuss to put hat engine in. Now if you had a 90-91 B18A1, I would say go with that and turbo it.
