UNDER PRESSURE

O.K. what would you guys choose a B16A with a JG Edelbrock intake mani. and ITR cams, or a stock B18C1? What do you guy's think is best for my application? '95 del sol...

Money aside...gsr

Kool thanx.

Del Sols with the added weight can definitely benefit more from the stronger torque curve of a B18C.

I have a b16 with minor work done to it in my heavy *** del sol and it will pull mid 14's all day on street tires

my b16 makes me happy

go with the b16

UNDER PRESSURE

Well mine runs 14.7's it's a B16A P28 ecu, JG edelbrock intake mani, everything in my sig. I guess what my real question is, will my del sol be faster with the upgrades done to it or will dropping a stock B18C1 be faster?

I say get the gsr but install the itr cams and a nice header

tbud454

of course you will make more power with that stuff done to the b18 becuse it already came with more power than the b16 and more torque but i dont think its worth swapping for that little bit more power. If you are gonna do anything i would build a poor mans type r.

B16Drag

if you have a b16 stick with it, but if u had a d16 get the gsr

Eyes Only

get the gsr

b18c1eg2

hand downs get the gsr like the saying goes there no replacement for displacement

B16Drag

what is the point of getting the gsr IF you ALREADY have a b16? With that much money you could turbo ur b16 and whoop the gsr all day long

b18c
You could easily swap out most of your b16 stuff into the gsr and the gsr into the b16. Then sell the b16! Only downside I see is labor. If you are doing it yourself and not paying anybody I would do the change if you are now able to afford it. But if not then stick with the b16.

Kool thanx fellas.

4doorjdmwhore

Id say keep tha B16 motor and boost or build it up some more Yo!

BANting

my moms del sol is a 95 del sol vtec the one with the b16 and i have a del sol s with a swapped 96 b18c1 and id say gsr all the way. The b16 feels so slow compared to driving my car like someone said earlier there is no replacement for displacement

UNDER PRESSURE

Thanx for the replies fellas. Looks like i'll be droppin in a B18C.

mafioso102

hmmm...u have the vtec head and tranny...why not buy a b18 block and do a nice lsvtec? Makes sense to me, and you can put down some good numbers

AzntaggeR

go with the B18C1

ahh one of the fine honda myths.

a del sol does not weight more than most civics. curb is around 2300 lbs.

yeah everyone makes it seem like a del sol is just a boat of a car. everyone expects it to be as light as a 92 cx or something.

UNDER PRESSURE

Yeah I also heard and from doing some searching that they ain't as heavy as people make them out to be.

B16Drag

depends on what model you are talking about. S model is not so bad in terms of civic wt, but VTEC model is quite hefty in wt. for such a small car

Kamin

2500 is hefty?

the curb of a VTEC del slow is 2500 lbs.
