Just FYI.. I know this is ITR forum, but I'm sure you guys are interested in hearing this.
I dropped a B16A into my hatch(previously the B17/B20).. I need cash so I am selling the motor, but that's another discussion.

Anyway, this is a fairly simple setup. I was surprised at how well it runs.

99 Si bottom end, stock.
01 ITR head/manifold/tb, stock.
Spoon Ventuli Plate
1 layer headgasket (10.6:1 maybe?)
Stock USDM ITR exhaust manifold, gutted cat and ITR b-pipe

Low end is PHENOMENAL. Seriously. I have never felt a B16A with low end punch like this. It feels almost like a stock GSR motor until about 4500-5000.
Top end is a little lethargic. Nothing to brag about there.. but the low and mid is great for the street. I'm impressed with the ventuli.

 

thanks for the info! and the kenji quote ownz....tell him the NC boys say hi

 

 

so the ventuli plate does work well on b16.. i've heard before it did nothing....

 

 

It does close to nothing in the B18C5

 

Which is why I have been sitting on this particular piece for about a year.
We tried it on my friend's LS/VTEC w/ CTR cams and Endyn 12:1 pistons.
Top end was DOG slow. Low end was better.. but he didnt like it.


I think it's worth it on the B16. I'm gonna go dyno it in a week or so.

 

that b16 moves. we ran last last. even though I had my AC on it was alot closer than I thought.

Mike with your "Special Gearing" that you are going to do.you gonna hand alot of all-motor honda guys there ***

 

ahh the return of the spoon rubber chicken...

sometimes it works / sometimes it dont

 

I've also heard of some impressive midrange gains from the Rubber chicken on 1999-2000 Sis. You gonna leave the USDM header and stock exhaust on?

 

I have USDM ITR intake manifold, exhaust manifold, throttle body, b-pipe.

 

My buddy Scott has a Spec B equipped B16. He added the ventuli plate and had results like Mike K. described.

Interesting little device.
