I heard somewhere that the b18a isn't capable of reving as high as the b16a because of how the crank is designed or something. Can anyone confirm? Very hard to find info on something so specific, I tried .

I'm going to either build up a b18a or a b16a, i'm going to need high rev capability.

 

no its because the b16 has a bigger cam lobs the springs are more intense then a ls head if u vtec an ls it will rev the same or even high reving high doesent mean **** it just means u wana kill ur motor and u dont wana give it oil

its really the whole motor,not just the crank,cause look at the r/s ratio,the waterpump,oil pump,head desisgn,cam specs,intake manifold,ecu,etc..its made for low-mid power and torque,,but dont get it twisted ive built many lsvtecs using just arp rod bolts,vtec oil and waterpump and have spun the engines to 8500+ no problem..yes its true what you say,the b16's rev smoother,better,easier,but they were made like that from honda..you can easily have a b18a rev happy.

 

Thanks for the help guys! I'm kind of a b-series newb.

are you serious? a b18 is 1.8 liter dohc honda motor..b18a/b is nonvtec,,b18c is vtec..you mostly find them in 90+ integras,,but they also come in civic 1.8's in other countrys

 

haha like wolfe said, please read. a lot. a whole lot. the new acura RDX is the first turbo honda.

 

If I were to buy parts for a b16a engine and b16a hydrolic tranny what US car would I use to search under? These parts range from oil pans to flywheels to pulleys and so on.

 

mostly 99-00 civic SI, or 94-97 del sol DOHC..

almost ANY b series parts are interchangeable too


BTW a LS cant rev high becuz the rod bolts, and the stroke.. ever notice Vtec motors have a lower stroke?

turned out friend gave me some arp head and rod bolts... then come to find out the ls uses nuts for the rods instead of bolts so i couldnt use rod bolts.... doesnt really make them look so strong.

bam, some good rod/stroke info.

 

Its because the rod/stroke ratio..b16a will rev easier and faster. Its like the chevy 302 used in SCCA racing in the 60's it was basicaly a destroked 327/350 and it reved to like 8000rpm because of the rod/stroke ratio.

b16a is built more for performance in stock form than a b18a/b but a b18 is a good starting point as well.

 

Ive never seen so many noob avatars in a row.

 

what is vtec oil?

VTEC oil is made soley by Honda, it's comprised of nano-machines which clig to the cam lobes as they rotate. At a certain rpm they change the characteristics of the cam lobes allowing for more air and exhaust flow. Powerloss in VTEC engines is usually related to the break down of these nano machines due to heat stress. It's recommended to refill the valve cover with new VTEC oil every 60k. When not in VTEC they're programmed to wispher sweet nothings to the block.

Unbolt and remove the valve cover, poor oil evenly over the cams. For the b18 i'd recommend about 10qts as it tends to drain down. Re-install the valve cover, this would also be a good time to replace your head gasket and upgrade your oil pump. Enjoy the power of VTEC!

Do NOT try this on a non-vtec block.

10qts? and how the hell can you change the head gasket once you put the valve cover back one?

 

Best laugh i've had in awhile

He's just messin. It's not 10 qts, lol. It's only 6. That's where the 1.6 in the displacement comes from.

 

i thought displacment had to do with the cylinder not the oil?

 

AHHHHHHHhahahahahahahahahahahaha
