First change the headers to PLM or Toda headers. Then cams, throttle body, intake manifold and then if your bothered do a b18 Frankenstein.

B20 bottom end with decent headers and an exhaust should do it

I want to keep the b16 in it, unless I get offered a eg with a blown engine then ill drop my engine in that and go k20! But for now I don't want to over do it, I think firstly ill look for cams. Eventually I want to buy a LSD

Will the b16 head fit the b20 bottom ?

Yes it will. My mate had a b16a2 head, b20b bottom end and a b18c7 (type r) gear box and his car was a weapon

Sounds like it would have been! When I get enough money ill eventually do a swap for now maybe a tune, and cams

B20 is surprisingly easy mechanically. The B20 from Crv's is essentially a non vtec 2 litre b16. Tuning is where most people run into a problem. No one really makes pre-tuned chips or ECU's for frank engines so they usually need to be tuned in a shop. That can get pretty pricey.

Also don't worry too much about an LSD if you aren't pushing much power. They are fucking expensive.

Disagree with that. A ff sport car needs a LSD. or some form of traction control. No point putting ruffly 100kws AT A WHEEL.

I agree that they have a purpose. I also think spending $1500 on an lsd could be used elsewhere more effectively at the start of a build.

They are ! If I am able to pick one up cheap I might consider it but if you put it that way the money could go to something else
