I just got my hatch and looking to get a motor, which is better b16 or b17? I understand the b17 has a little more horsepower and torque.

b18.

If you MUST decide between a b16 and b17 I'd say go with the 16 as parts are difficult to find for a 17.

if u can find a b17 that came out of a 1992 integra then BUY THAT ****!!!! thouse are the best gsr motor that acura has ever had i work for an acura dealer as a tech there and you dont know how many updates we had to do to those ecu's because the ecu couldnt take what the moter gave to it i know parts are hard to find but u do the swap right u will be running neck and neck with hatches with h22a's in them man just make sure that if u are going to to internal work make sure that u build the top and bottom end and make sure that is chiped right

blahblahDX

People in Fairport are in trouble if they go to that dealership


The B17 had a favorable rod ratio, but the low compression is a downside if you're going N/A. Plan to swap out the pistons if you do pick it up.

Nextelbuddy

its your choice they are both decent motors but finding a b17 with lower miles is gonna be hard since they were only produced in usdm 92-93 integra gsrs

LMAO, i agree.

Eyes Only

get the b17

nota-ex

screw d series, screw b series, screw the h22 and screw the k series. if you want speed then go jet engine. yeah, you have the jet lag of it needing to speed up, but just think, what other civic will have a 1.2 mile per second?

hope i helped

Explain how the B16 is "less trouble"? Come on, do it. This whole thread is full of crap. For one, the B17 head is the same as a first gen B16 head. Its no different because the B17 IS a B16 with a longer stroke. The crank, rods, pistons, and cams are different.. Other then that, its the same.

Someone said parts are hard to find... how is that when all B series parts will work just fine for it? I fail to see the point of that post.

The guy who works for Acura, your a tard and obviously don't work on the line by the way you are talking. If you are a line tech then people are in great trouble if they go to your dealership, as has already been said... And just a little help for you, the engine can't "throw" stuff at the ECU that it can't handle.

Between the two engines, the B17 IS a better platform then the B16. People can bitch and moan all they want... fact is it makes more torque (although not much) and the same hp in stock form as a B16. Up the compression to a reasonable level and it will always outperform a B16 with comparable mods... and by a good margin. If you can find one, pick it up. Its not difficult or expensive to rebuild the engine, so who cares about the mileage?

not all b series parts are interchangable, my old jdm b16 had a strang water pump, the only one that would fit was a b17 water pump.

Thats pretty strange considering there is a B16 water pump sitting on my B17 right now. Been working for thousands of miles just fine.
