i'm just confused cuz the are so many combos i can still choose from before i buy a block ya know. i'm only lookin to get 300-350 horsepower on boost of course

i couldn't agree with u more. if i'm not mistaken a b16 with what ever boltons that are turbo compatble so to speak, tuned very well to 10 or 11 psi will reach u at ur 300-350 hp mark.

i almost wish i was 16 again cuz i knew what i wanted then lol a fast in the furious car that could jump bridges and go azillion miles per hour when i hit the "NAWZ" lol...... hmmm actually the nx N-tercooler is starting to sound like a good idea

[Bite_Size]

imo they're only good for constant road racing and nothing more

[JDMstatus23]

hmmm yeah i guess, i don't really race that much n e way, but that would be one mod that nobody else in my town has

[Bite_Size]

whatever floats ur boat bud. g/l with teh decsion/build and if u wanna have a few friendly runs lmk i'll meet up at the bradenton track

[JDMstatus23]

ok cool, but it would be awhile lol

Bigger is better end of story. You really notice the difference after 80mph in the torque.

1.6 ftl 1.8 ftw... 2.0 FTMFW

I don't understand why all these kids keep thinking bigger is always better. I also have no problem showing what a B16 is capable of.

Point that I'm trying to make is this... Whats the difference between a 2.0 liter B16, and a 2.0 liter B16??? Other than the stamp on the block, nothing... Its just as easy to build an 84mmx89mm B16 as it is a B18...

You can get a much better ring package out of a 2.0 b18 than a 2.0 b16. You either have the wrist pin in the oil control rings or a really short rod.

If you've got the money to 'build' the b16 you could always up it to 1.8 or even 2.0L. But if you aren't wanting to get that in depth, a LS/V will defiantly be quicker than a b16 because it has more displacement/torque which I'm sure you were already aware of.

Just remember, there is no replacement for displacement.

So what is the difference between the 2.0 B18, and the 2.0 B16???


Anyone starting to see my point???

[Bite_Size]

i do. i'm just not gonna continue this debate. its gonna last as long as the domestics vs. import debate. its all about the owner and how much cash will be involved or what their preference will be.

Did you read my point. What is your ring package and rod length with a 2.0 b16a. One is going to suck or the other. Taller deck motors FTW.
