Manual have more better gear ratio some comes with LSD. Auto b16a have milder camshaft and lower rpm gear change. U can use manual cam or type r cam and piston with ur auto b16a for better acceleration but performance still cant compare to a stock b16a manual.
I suggest if u wanna keep auto just change to b20b/b20z block with some bolt on mod. If u want power and reliable then go for b16b or b18cr halfcut comfirm puas!
my car ecu may need to replace as the engine light is ON when i start the car every morning.
i heard that the replacement with same model will not long lasting, is it possible to change to other model like MMC ecu
