I'd say the b16 would have a better low end mainly due to the higher compresion it runs over the ZC!

Ok thanks guys... looks like they will be very comparable down low but obviously with the same kinds of mods the B16 is just going to get the larger gains in power and torque. I hope thats the message i was ment to get :P
*flogs dead horse*
yes - the powers of vtec rule all :P

the b16a does make slightly less power at lower rpm than the zc.
As far as drags are concerned the thing is over after 5000 rpm (assuming no snail =p) =)
and as for hills, the b16a needs to be mated to a close ratio gear box, with that, you are set (which is how honda shipped it funly enough)

Find me a hill with a sealed road and incline of 45 degree.
I doubt youll find many 45 degree straight road inclines.
Its not driving style, its impossible in 5th to be accelerating up that sort of incline.
Ill leave it at that,
Do you guys travel with protractors?
I think the only thing stopping the b16 making more power in the low range is the head which is probably optimised for high RPM flow. Other than that everything on paper to me, points to the b16 making more power at low RPM.
well its sort of a different story if you've been accelerating for a long straight then start going up the hill, or from standing position up the hill...
i do :D :dance:Quote:

lol - yep - I was wondering about these 75 and 45 deg inclines :D:D:D:D
Yeah especially once your ON the hill......its hard to say what the angle is hehe
