They built a B20z bored out with RSX type-S pistons and b-series connecting rods (GS-R?) and a b16 head with stage2 Skunk2 internals. Running Hondata and a SMSP header it made 207whp and the torque maxed out at 4,500rpm's and was practically level all the way to 8k @ 145-150ft-lbs. I posted dyno vids of it on here like 4 years ago.
Get an H22 VTEC. Long block and transmission $1,500-1,800 or less.
