I would go Gsr / B16 tranny, more power, and and is going to be faster, an building a gsr will out do a ls/b20 ... I have a complete gsr with lots of new parts, with 35k miles,an a 2000 civic si tranny with 40k miles, selling, PM for prices an list of parts, or I got a eg with this set up ill sale the whole car, with your trade PM for details , JOshua

Basically, a b20b/z is an overbored b18a/b
So would you rather have a 1.8 or 2.0?

You're are off topic. The man asked about b20s and b18a/b's.
You would recommend a GSR since you are selling one :lmfao:

I feel ya guy. Most people already know that. Shit a b16 is better than a ls and b20 (in some lighter Hondas), but he didnt ask about it. I just think that you should base your answer by the options given from the poster rather than tell him what he "should" do. Why do people do ls/b20 swaps in the first place? It's a nice budget swap. GSR swap may be out of his price range.
I'm not trying to start anything with ya, but I dont like when people get off topic.
Example
person1 "What should I swap in my hatch d15b or d16y8"
person2 "Man throw a k20 in it"
:lmfao:
