K, this may have been brought up before but.....

I was wondering what an all-motor B16 would max out at. And I don't mean a stroked to the nuts modified block but a block with stock bore and stroke but high compression, porting, cams, etc. And the other stipulation I have is that it run on 93 octane. I'm just curious what is possible?

Thanks Guys,

Krazy Karl

 

If you think it has been covered before, here is a good place to confirm that is has, in fact, been covered several times.

They can make descent power..Mine makes 195 to the wheels.My two friends with the same setup made power in the mid 190's as well.All were kept 1.6l

 

The most I have seen is 206whp from Omniman.

 

200whp is possible with 11.3:1 compression on 81x77.4mm config with some good but not too exotic parts. The header, intake manifold, and cams are key power ingredients.

Still amazing, 206 is nuts!

 

Thanks guys. I was discussing it with a friend of mine who wants to build a road race Civic. He was convinced to go with a B18C and I told him to look at the B16. He was sure you couldn't get much more out of it that 170whp.

Makes you wonder why people think thats a overhyped motor.

170whp is very easy to accomplish. I have a beater B16 right now with stage 1's with IHE and a ITR manifold putt'n down 171whp. This motor was straight off the boat. Like KID-HONDA said above, dollar for dollar it's a great little motor.

My thoughts exactly

 

I thought, for the money, that a B16 has a lot of potential. And I think he could run in a lesser class with 1600cc vs. 1800cc. We'll see what happens. Thanks again guys.

He doesn't need a b18c if he's building a 'road race Civic.' He should spend the money he saves on suspension or more power into the 1.6
