Article: dustrunnersauto.com/honda-b16...
In the world of Honda performance, the B16 is one of the most legendary engines ever produced. At the time it absolutely blew most of the competition away and even today it still offers a ridiculous amount of horsepower per liter naturally aspirated. The B16A is the most common B16 engine, but Honda also built the B16B for Civic Type R, and today we’re going to find out what the differences are and which one is better!

just a question. since the block of b16b is from b18c, it can convert into a 1.8liter engine (with more torque) by changing the rod and piston? also i believe the b18c block can take a lot more beating than the b16a and the limit of redline is a testimony to that i suppose

Many potential Hondaboys in Russia and I for myself are scared with non-availability of information about such not so popular for Russia JDM engines like B16. The problem is the language barrier. The most part of us have a low level of speaking/reading in English. Sorry to see that the most part of Russian JDM community gives preference to more common (but really awesome) engines like RB, SR, 3S even 4G63 and especially JZ. Thanks for the video, that was exactly what I looked for.

I wish it was the same price now. HMO sold their full b16b swap for 7000 last fall. The b16a now is roughly 3500 to 4500 ish depending. I'm sure you can get it cheaper somewhere else but people are paying these prices from HMO.

@kevineyster1ify 4 года назад

Wish some one would explain stroker cranks and cams and how they change everything maybe use K-20 K-24

@catch22frubert 4 года назад

A stroker crank increases the stroke, thus increasing displacement and torque. Downside is you can't rev as high due to increased piston speeds. Cams have nothing to do with bore or stroke. A bigger cam will open the intake and exhaust valves more, and for longer, letting more air in and out of the engine. More air equals more power. An engine is really just an air pump. The more efficiently you can get air in and out, the more power you make.

It's like comparing apples and oranges it's not just the engine is the total package of the Type R that makes the b16b epic. Go for a ride in a clean low km b16a Civic then do the same in a low km b16b Type R and you would not even think they were the same car.

An h22 weighs only like 80 pounds more than a b series engine. If you set up the suspension properly there is no disadvantage.

Easy answer. B18C by far, assuming they both have an LSD trans. I've driven everything Honda you can drive, b16, b17, b18, and owned an EG hatch with a B18c and LSD trans for many years, and the more torque you have, the better the car is to drive in my opinion. I love the high revs as well, but torque is what really feels good. B16 revs to the moon, and sounds good in theory, but it just makes a lot of noise and doesn't feel like you are going anywhere. Being buried in the seat by torque is a much more enjoyable experience, and it's faster.
