i hate b16's
ive had my b16 in my hatch for about 4 months now, and i can honestly say it sucks ***....i had a del sol before with a fully built gsr motor, but decided i needed something drivable everyday....so i got a hatch and put a b16 in it....yea, it sucks...the motor runs great, its just soooooooooo sloooow. So i made up my mind, im gonna pull it out, sell it...and drop a fully built h22a....anyone wanna buy a great running jdm b16a motor with jdm gsr tranny with lsd? lemmie know....bye

Re: i hate b16's (ProjectSpoon)
see im kinda goin for low 12's all motor....at least as fast or faster than my old del
forgive me but HAHAHAHA
i really hope your not gonna attempt that with a b16 or wanted to try that with a b16. the h22 you mentioned would be a much better choice.
the b16 is a good engine but it has no torque, hence the name "torqueless wonder"
I love mine but i will not be pumping any money into it for internals when i boost. i will be building a b18c for that.

Keep the B16! H22 
Why not build another GSR if you liked the one in your Del Sol so much. Im sure youre hatch is lighter so itll be that much faster!!

Re: i hate b16's (ProjectSpoon)
Which series B16a do you have.......1 or 5-series? Check the first number the block starts with. The 5-series are a lot quicker than 1-series. Better cam profile, gear ratio, and intake manifold.
I think B16a's are better on the circuit.......they have no torque, but are rev happy. I think they have the best geometry compared to all b-series engines. Best rod ratio......all other b-series were built around the b16a.
Why not run a B17a short block? It's already making 160hp with 9.7c/r. Imagine it with JDM ITR cams......

Re: i hate b16's (iviZeRoCooLivi)
ok dude, i said i built the b16 hatch because i wanted something more reliable after the del.....i could care less now if the hatch is reliable with the h22a, i have another daily driver now......dont twist my words...

Re: i hate b16's (ProjectSpoon)
I didn't twist ****, I posted it EXACTLY how you posted it. You made the impression you're still looking for something more reliable. If its gonna be all track h22 is ok, otherwise I'd personally go b18c again and build it in a hatch and strip the hatch down... my opinion... I thought you were looking for something more reliable... on me
