    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.

    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...

    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.
