My opinion, if you can get either for the best price, it won't matter . If you go with a B16B, go with a shorter FD, i.e. 4.7 or 4.9. FD help
I help put a '92 EG that ran 13.7s in a B16B with a ATS 4.9 FD and a good selection of parts, funny thing, its not tune yet.
You think F1 cars have big motors...........gearing will make up for the torque.
To each is own. I personally preffer a 1.8L r/s ratio.
Yeah you can rev the living poop out of a b16b, but I just dont like the way the motor feels. Especially after driving a 1.8L every day then trying to romp on a 1.6L and feel satisfied.
Btw, bert, take that same b16b and stroke it to 1.8L lets see the 13.7 eg drop to a low 13 sec eg untuned
