i bought a b16 sir2 for my 92 cx hb. i am looking to build a pretty fast all motor car right now and i was wondeing wut the part differences between the b16a and b16b. im thinking i would like to make it a b16b type r motor. what parts will i have to buy and would it be a good route to go?

 

b16b will be obd2, you will need a obd2 conversion harness...and im not really sure what else...I think youll have to mix and match mounts...

 

i already have the b16a sir2 swaped into my hatch. i was just wondering what parts i would need to make it a b16b. pistons,valve cover....? what else?

 

Why would he need a conversion harness??. I would imagine he could just plug everything up, use his own distributor thats obd1 and his own harness with his obd1 chipped ecu.

 

B16B is a destroked ITR. Completely different motor.

Exactly..B16b has higher deckheight than the b16a/b17a..Its a destroked b18c like said..

You can't just swap over parts and have a B16B. Read the above two replies. You want a B16B? Go buy one. Just don't expect to be very impressed.

 

Well... you can start by buying CTR bumpsticks and valve train.

 

You can't turn a B16a into a B16B. You can put the B16B pistons and valvtrain in your B16a and thats the closest you will get, but still not the same as a B16B.

 

thats wut i mean. i just want to put ctr stuff in it. pistons,camshafts,valvetrain. i was just wondering if anyone had done this or what anyone thinks.

 

Its a good upgrade ..

When I did my lsvtec (b16a head) build sometime ago I used the ctr cams,valvetrain,and pistons and it alsmost made 200whp..

</TD></TR></TABLE> its not that hard,however i dont know why you'd want to.with the money youd spend doing that you could get some real power out of some aftermarket parts. but any way youd most of this stuff
-CTR valvetrain
-CTR cams
-CTR or ITR header
-take off 1-2 layers off HG (CTR pistons yield 12:1 cr)
-CTR intake mani (really pricey IF you can even find one)
-CTR intake box
-some sort of exhaust upgrade

that would be about the closest you could get

however with the money you blow on that you could get some buddy club 3+ cams, ITR header, Blox intake mani, KTeller exhaust, and make tons more power. just my .02

 

yeah i know. and just for yur info you need full aftermarket valve train to use the spec v cam shafts. they are to aggressive for stock valve train

 

im just trying to at least make a high 13 all motor car for now. with slicks of course

get a h22 with type s piston and cams u will run low 13 all motor

 

serious if your going all motor go sell your b16 and get the h22. think of the torqe gain. plus the instant hp gain thats more then your mini ctr conversion. and probibly leave some money for your slicks. i got the b16 and if i had more money i would deffinitly upgrade to the b18 or h22. b16 is sweet and all but unless your going turbo i would definatly jump to a different engine. i personally went the boost route.
