i have a d16z6 i/h/e on a 95 coupe i was wondering is it worth to swap a b18b non vtec in?i raced my friend who has a 98 integra rs with i/e and a gear cam i beat him by half a car what do u guys think is better what are the advantages and disadvantges from the d16 and the b18??

 

b18 all the way. more tq, more hp, better all around street motor.

 

what are your longterm goals with the car?

if it's nothing too crazy, i'd turbo your d16. Have it tuned to about 210whp and you will have a reliable and quick car.

the advantages of going with a b18b is not only the jump in horsepower but in torque. I'm thinking either your friend can't drive or his cam gear is for some reason set some other place than stock and his car is actually losing power, because he should have beat you.

 

im going all motor want something daily driver???throw me some more opinions guys

 

ok well if you want all motor then the thread ends here no more opinions needed.

go b-series.

an all motor d-series won't get you anything, except maybe laughed at.

 

b18ftw
that should have been the engine code
not b18c or a or b
but b18ftw
lots to do with it
a d16...well...you can just stare at it...

 

and lots of noise. like a mosqituo going 74mph

 

i had a d15b vtec which is pretty much the same as d16z6. I swapped in a b18b.. the torque does wonders for daily driving, hills are not a problem anymore, where as id have to downshift to 4th or even 3rd to climb hills i can climb in 5th on my ls motor. ls ftw
