it also depends on the freshness of your motor. Only being a 1.6, if you lose any sort of combustion chamber seal you're going to be loosing power. You need all the chamber pressure you can get!!
If you're after a real kick in the pants, go turbo. :thumbsup: Just a whole nother world of goodness.
for a 1.6ltr 4 cyl engine, its actually quite impressive compared to all other 1.6 ltr engines.
but u can never expect too much from a stock motor untill u build it
Amen you lookn at internal work man?Quote:

At the moment those vtec nissans arent so big here yet, but just as honda started it'll one day have a place to shine.
my b16 always had a slight pull & loud noise in vtec, but nothing massive.
When running at the lights u can see it pull past other cars
Also Vtec is supose to have a smooth pull for efficient crossover.
i think the sr**ve nissan engines don't have that much modding capability. as in they don't respond well to mods.Quote:

Was the EG you ran against SOHC or DOHC? Coz I've done I/H/E on my EH VTi (D16Y1 SOHC VTEC) and coz its single cam it clearly doesn't produce shit from modding unless you go FI <lol>
B16B = best 1.6L I know of, but it's just a de-stroked B18C anyway so what's the point?
sr16ve as i know it was a pretty potent little motor... will definitely be in the same league as the B16a, probably moreso the B16b
Nope it a B16a. Gonna have to correct you on the best 1.6 engine douge. Its the SR16ve N1 that was made to rival with the B16b. Its the best 1.6 made and still is today. True fact :D
Sounds very interesting. Never been a Nissan fan so I'm gonna do some research now hehe.
Thanks a lot :)
B16B:
136 kW @ 8200 rpm & 118 ft/lbs @ 7500 rpm. Redline 8400 RPM.
SR16VE-N1
147 kW @ 7800 rpm & 134 ft/lbs @ 7600 rpm. Redline 8600 RPM.
Were there only a few hundred of the SR16VE-N1's produced though. Because if that's the case I don't really see it as a competitor as it might not be very accessible compared to the B16B.
Otherwise yes it's a very impressive engine on paper (quick search).
too bad the rest of the car was so rushed and heavy that it dusnt even compare to a type R, so really the Vzr's are no comparison to the ek9Quote:
