d16y8>b16a2?

[Goku]

hey guys, im just after a newer car here. i've been looking around lately and reading posts on other honda forums as well. i've read that the d16y8's could beat a b16a2? but some people say the other way round. so im just confused atm. cause im looking at a del sol or a ej8 atm. i also looked at some youtube videos due to curiosity and it is true that a sohc vtec could beat a dohc vtec. anyways i just wanted to hear your opinions on this, cause it would be really helpful on choosing my next car.

Stock vs stock... No chance in hell

You be trippin...unless the d16 is boosted...
Not only is the b16a DOHC VTEC, but it also has shorter gears

Y8 has superior combustion chambers. Otherwise the a2 is better in every way.

Okay thanks guys. I probably was tripping. I went for ride in my mate's ej8 and then test drove a del sol and yeah I could really tell the difference.

d16 should be ahead for the first 3 seconds lol. b16 haz no torque but as always DOHC > SOHC

didnt know d16 has torque~

[dougie_504]

Of course it does. Just not very much

Both have bugger all but from experience the B16A has notably more than a SOHC D.
