Ill take the 160 hp to the 125 anyday plus the DOHC VTEC. Im all stock b16 in my 96 EX and and i spank EX's with intake, header, exhaust, HKS AFR, and pulleys. Well i dont spank them but i win by about 1/2 a car. Thats alot of mods compared to my all stock b16. I will get the greddy kit and eventually upgrade to a 20g or better turbo after i replace the bottom and top ends of the engine.
Where in the world do you get the idea that a SI weighs 2800 pounds, are you smoking crack? I think it's mighty impressive the D16 makes more torque than the B16 with minus a cam and a not as well flowing head (this is due to a better rod:stroke ratio but you probably have no idea what that is).
You can take your 160 factory rated hp and cram it up your ass, 160 hp is 160 hp DOHC VTEC (i.e you're a giant fanboy who is probably brainwashed by the ricers over at superhonda . com) has no effect when you are already talking about the end result
The really sad part is you can't drive if you're barely pulling on bolton ex's. Do you know how much whp a bolton ex makes with those boltons compared to your almighty b16? A single cam honda with "a ton of mods" probably doesn't gain more than 10 whp on a good day with per say 40 degree weather and a CAI+whatever else.
Good luck trying to spool a 20G with your b16, you're ignorant, you don't listen and you have no idea what you're talking about. Everyone loves to assume bigger=better without stopping to think about matching parts to perform at their peak together. I'd be glad to post a video of a greddy kit SI @ 13 psi with pistons and rods losing to my D16-T from a low mph 1st gear roll all the way to 4th gear
I simply stated for the price of swapping a B series, the D16 makes great power and is a good value. Why don't you go make yourself usefull and "replace the bottom and top ends of your engine". Oh wait that means shell out 800 bucks to a shop to pull your valve cover off cause it's probably too dawning of a task for someone of your intelligence.
