I'd say its still the best 1.6L motor on the market!
How many cars nowadays with a 1.6L would beat a b16a civic
I left my mates impreza rx for dead and thats a 2L motor and he had full exhaust, i'm running stock b16b headers and standard d series catback

*Pulsar with Sr16

*Toyota Trueno bzr with BT 20v

would definately give the B16 a run for it's money.

its funny how people think vtec is meant to feel like a kick in the pants.

Its meant to be a smooth progression from one profile cam to the other. if you think vtec does nothing then pull the plug out and rev out your primary lobe and you'll see how slow your car can really be. :thumbsup:

if u feel vtec kick go get a tune. get it nice and smooth so ur not losing any power through the rev range. i gained 15kw in the midrange just by bringing vtec forward

before tune it use to kick. then like i said after tune it was smoothed out and made more linear.. il pm u graph one day

Yea dude i feel the minor pull on a flat run like an onramp... Nudgee on ramp is a good place for a test

B16A with intake, full exhaust


btw nice pb george..

ive sat in

integra both type r and vti not to bad, but type r u can truly feel it as if its a turbo
civic, not so much
del sol, definately u can feel it
prelude, honestly not so much
s2000, stock ive DRIVEN ONE and i must say it is not fast as they make it out to be but a friend with headers & cams n good tuning u can DEFINATELY FEEL IT

I'm with ya Dan b16 would be one of the best if not the best na 1.6 on the market

^^^ B16B would surely be the best 1.6L n/a motor to this day. Nothin like the B16A.

I have a JDM B18C-R n theres certainly that extra pull that u dont need the sound to feel. B16A sounds like smurfs under the bonet playing the trumpet but not much of a kick.

My uncle sat in my car the other day.. Hit vtec as I merged into traffic and his words were: "sounds aggressive but doesnt go anywhere huh?"
ahhaa

I don't think it's all that bad. Yeh it's not a massive throw u back in the seat feeling but it's good to have that bit of extra power when needed. I'm more than happy with my b16 and it's only aus spec
