Seriously. Search.

If you want more torque, get rid of the honda. What do you want torque wise though?

If your planning on staying all motor for a bit. Get a stock gs-r bottom end, and throw your stock head on it.

I'd stay away from B20/vtec, or Ls/vtec; esp. if money is a issue.

hate to say it but everybody's right, hondas are known for being real torqueless unless you boost the hell out of it but you still aint going to do that with a b16

True, true. Honda's are torqueless, but it's funny how cars still lose to them :D

No matter what you do with a Honda engine, it'll never have any torque. Built it, boost it, whatever. You'll have 600hp but only still like 200ft/lb of torque.

If you want torque, get a bike. :p

You can get plenty of torque from a Honda engine. Any more than the chassis can handle is more than you need.
