stock b20b not happy...should i go b18c?

[sk8ter4life]

just bought a b20b hatch 97

gsr tranny lsd
intake
rsr exhaust
chipped ecu
all stock pretty much. ran 15.6 in fontana

top end didnt feel too much power

use to have a 94 LS teg i/h/e ...felt more torque.
not to mention this b20b is only rated at 126hp.
maybe i should drop it on the dyno to see how much power in the hatch.
i get about 22 mpg, is that pretty good?

im not going turbo or lsvtec, so i was thinking straight b18c gsr motor.
save $. i know a b20 can be built, but w/ lot of $.
just need a fast daily driven car that maybe 14's

good ideA?

I would put it on a dyno with a wb o2 sesor cause I see no reason for you to be getting 22mpg

who chipped the ecu cause if it is a ebay chip that may be your problem and does it have any bolt-on's?

if you end up getting the b18, I WANT THE B20 and ill go crvtec

b20 cams suck....try to get a hold of some ls cams for a 5spd,,

go with the b18c1, its gonna be the same $$$ without all the time spent. and more reliable to boot.
