the B17 is a good motor only thing is that for some reason i see 2nd gen GSR's get beat by civics runnin b16's my friends have both one has a 93 gsr the other has a 92 civic 4dr with a b16 the race was pretty even untill 3rd gear then the civic pulled ahead by a car length, both motors werent runnin 100% but both were pretty strong. if your just lookin for a motor go for the b16 there are more parts to choose from for it and easier to to get. the b17 is rare, but if you want to build it put some higher CR pistons in it and a set of cams and u'll be runnin strong
