Run of thumb...

Never go into a b16 block. It's not worth the outcome. So if you plan to rebuild something atleast get a cheap $100 LS block and use your b16 head.

Now to get the most out of a stock bottom end b16, I would buy every bolt-on you can possibly get.

-ITR intake manifold and TB
-3in intake with velocity stack
-Toda header (or a knockoff Toda header) Do not get a 1.8L+ header like the one Vteckidd sells (don't take this the wrong way Mike just trying to help dude make power out of his 1.6)
-Test Pipe and 2.5in exhaust

Then you can work on the head with
-Cams (CTR, Buddyclub III, Skunk2 stage 1) Those work with stock valvetrain
or
(Skunk2 stage 2 or Buddyclub IV) with aftermarket valvetrain
There's other cams out there like JUN or Toda, but they aren't worth the price.
-Valve job and port work

The most important mod you can do is get tuned also. So plan to convert to obd1 and get tune.

The best thing about all of that, you can transfer everything over to another motor once you decide to upgrade (which you will decide to do ) Hopefully that helps.
