I got a b16 type r vtec and a dude wants to trade me a da with a ls non vtec.. Which one is better????

[Sir_Christopher]

b16 type r vtec............................

[b16type-r]

Thanks bro

[Sir_Christopher]

unless the da, has a built ls, then do even do it lol

[b16type-r]

I think is built.. He addind money on top too.. What u think??

[Dylan]

I'd go with the da. It sounds super fast.

[Sir_Christopher]

how can you tell? lol

all i know is its a b16 type r, and a da with a stock motor? i need details lol

[green91]

stock b16 makes more hp than a LS, why is this even a question?

[b16type-r]

Got a b16a2 motor with a fully built type r head cams, rods, all internals are type r

[Sir_Christopher]

then thats no questions asked. keep the b16

[CptWitwiki]

hah i am probably the only one who doesnt like b16... all of the b16s i have had were pretty slow. id rather have an ls and be able to run regular gas =]

[green91]

Oh dont get me wrong, i hated my b16 and actually went back to my d16 LOL. They are a torqueless wonder. But at least they do eventually pull a little bit unlike a LS. I dont generally swap engines to worry about what gas i gotta run.

[b16type-r]

I have heard from many people and checked it out myself on honda-tech.com.. And a b16 motor can create the greastest power out of the b-series motors...

[SHAUNvX]

keep the B16

:thinking::thinking::thinking:

[CptWitwiki]

if im building an engine i dont worry about what gas i have to run but if its a put around town or long trips car i try to stay with reg. but i dont know about the b16 making the most power of the b series... i actually have a hard time believing it

[HeyItsSkeero]

LSV! On 93 octane, I put down 478 on 16 pounds. lol.

All motor cheapish build, go LSV. For a cheapish turbo build b16..

@capt The only thing I can think about them saying that for is b/c of the b16 being known for their close to perfect rod stroke ratio..


Nvm I just read the OP. So do you have a b16b or b16a2? Depending on what vehicle it's in I'd keep it.. Imo DA's are ugly.
