Would a b16 be a good swap for an ls b18b? One of my friends think it wouldnt and the other does. Its a good deal and i need a new engine and it is somewhat of an upgrade. plus i could always use the head and get a b18c block right?

 

I personally wouldn't mind a b16 powered dc, but it would need quite a few mods to make it perform well.

 

I wouldn't put a straight B16 in your Integra. If anything, use the B16 head on your LS and make an LS vtec. The B16 is a little too torque-less for the heavier Integra chassis and doesn't really make the most impressive setup IMO

 

99-2000 SI weighs the same as the DC's and Honda put a B16 in there from the factory. Heck they put 1.6 SOHC's in Integras in Japan. I would tade a B18B for a B16 ANY DAY. B16 has more power and better potential.

 

The transmission is something to consider as well. I don't think a B16 would do well on an LS tranny.

 

if you know hondas you know the b16 tranny has a shitty differential as well , consider this if you like to play with your cars.

 

Why do people always make threads about this when there are millions of recent threads about b16's in tegs,

 

It depends on what year the b16 was from. Some of them make 8hp more but have ~30lbs less torque....
I'd rather have the torque.
I would do LSV as schister said.
