im still diciding what engine to put in my EF. I was talkin to a friend and he told me usdm Del Sol VTEC b16s have b16b blocks stock. So If this was true I would get a cheap b16b block then do the ctr conversion. is this true?

 

false. B16B's were only in EK CTR's.

 

no, some come stock with a b16a, not b16b.

 

How about a b16b block with a b16a head? or is this all bullshit

 

b16b is only in the ek9 stock.

Yes b16b is only in Jdm Civic Type R's

 

b16b is a waste of money imo.

Depends what type of racing you use it for. The B16B has the best rod ratio out of all the Honda motors. It generally is a waste of money, though.

Correct Civic Type R were produced in Japan only.

True, they're hard to find (legitimate) for less than 4k, plus you could build something equivalent for 1/2 the price or less.

I recommend you buy an LS with LSD for you EF, i think you will be more than satisfied. EF's are seriously "light".
And as for a CTR conversion on your car, as in 98 CTR front-end on 89-91 (EF) (hatch?), where did you get this idea? It's ingenious, j/k not really. It wouldn't fit at all , and if you got it to fit somehow it would look ridiculous.

 

Del Sol Vtec's came with the B16a3. B16b only came in the CTR's

 

when I said ctr I meant a b16b head mated to a suposedly b16b block

yes that is what a CTR motor is. a B16B head mated to a B16B block.


No it was never in a Del Sol.

EGSIR said how am I sposed to do a CTR conversion. I replied the engine only. A 98 ctr front conversion would be an interesting experiment .

To sum it up some idiot told me that b16b blocks come in del sols.
