I have a 1997 ek hatch with a b16a(1992)
a friend has a del with a b16a3
-Lets say both have no performance parts.
which one would be faster
is the b16a3 and better than the obd1 b16a?

the b16A has a slightly higher compression ratio then the us counterpart the b16a3 or b16a2

the b16a is better in my book

not to be a jerk and not directly answer your question, what purpose does this have (other than seeing which is .3 seconds fasterm and you'll still be slow either way). It seems kind of pointless.

And here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_B_engine#B16 they're the specifics from wikipedia.

Not to be a jerk but it's not even a .3 second difference .

Yes, it is. The difference would be in the driver and engine though - it's not like "bam, smoked" faster. More like whichever engine is in better condition and whichever driver is better at racing.

When is it not well said by him?

Oh, and to the OP, for future reference, just go race. Bench racing is after all against the rules, and I'm surprised you didn't get flamed. Everyone in here has gone soft In any event, for my money I would still say the hatch would win.

yeah, if i were you, i'd go race up behind every car and rev your uber fast, b16 and show them all up.

Well, sydacate seemed to have put what we all meant well, so...are you still gonna bench race or what?

I say both b16s are gonna make madd vtec noise ... maybe the b16a will make a slightly louder noise since its JAY DEE MM . I have had both... trust me.

instead of us using our E-maginations, why dont you line em up, and do a reality check. then dont come back and tell us cause we really dont care.
