Huh?

Do you mean D16A? Why would you want to go to a D-series from a B-series? At that, which D16A, a D16A1, a D16A6, or D16A8/9 pattern? They are all different and take different parts.

he probably wants to change so he can be at least a little different than every single ricer in the F$*&(#* world who has (A B16 the baddest motor alive) the b series motors are very good motors dont get me wrong and from a geometrical stand point are built very smart but they are so damn played out I cant even look at them anymore my girlfriend has a 92 teg with a b17a and you can practicaly build them from parts you can find at the Deseret Industries parts and ripoffs are floating everywhere stolen all the time over estimated and just completely played OUT!! (all b series not just the b16) thank you if you were offended you are probably the ricer I'm talking about that is building his b20/vtec right now and is sooooooo pissed about me speaking my mind

your not special if you build a 200+hp all motor b series all it takes is money,It takes a real enthusiast to build something like a d-series not saying they are the best motors though

fu*k the b16 in the ass! if your not going boost in any sort, it isn't worth your time and money. the fastest crx dx i've seen with a b16a1 with aem intake, dc header, full exhaust is 14.6, thats sad

Kai: no that was not at all directed at you thanks for not assuming so and flying off the hook like most people would just expressing my feelings for the b series I'm thinking about starting out with a K series Fun Fun Fun or a 2nd or 3rd gen rx-7 or rx-8

if you dont want a B16 in your car because theyre played out, fine. if you dont like B16s at all because theyre played out, you're just retarded. the fact is that a B16 is superior to any d-series engine.

if you build a 200+hp all motor b series all it takes is money
that goes for any engine. why dont you be original and go build a rocket ship. cars are so played out

fu*k the b16 in the ass! if your not going boost in any sort, it isn't worth your time and money. the fastest crx dx i've seen with a b16a1 with aem intake, dc header, full exhaust is 14.6, thats sad
so whats the stock crx si run with I/H/E? like 16.0? ya what a waste of money that b16 was

the reason everyone has a b16 is because theyre damn good motors. aint nothing wrong with wanting one. you're just pissed off because all your friends have em and you dont.

it's not always about Intake, Header, and Exhaust peeps, u can also gain a $h*t load of power by upgrading pistons and rods... not to mention upgrading your ECU.... with that in mind, i'm FOR the b16 cuz i'm droppin a B16A2 with LSD transmission and stage2 axles in my car come spring time.


"I said get em"

More&Faster "porch monkey" yer a jack ass, did you read my post I said the B16a is a very nice motor, I wont lie pretty much one of honda's best ever BUT my opinion of them is why I hardly ever visit this board anymore RICERAMA, if someone were to ask "what could I do with my car and it's current setup?" about 20 people will pop up with an answer that makes them feel like they are Honda technicians "Put a b16 in it", if you think that having a B16 or a b series puts you on top of the game your wrong cause the B's are dropping like flies to the K series, the B series will be like the D series compared to the K and some people will still put their time and money into the B right? well the d is what the B will soon be and if your building the motor for race you can stil make hella horsepower out of a D series I even know of a guy running 12.71@109.06 out of an all motor dohc zc so I dont want to hear anyone say they dont have potential the problem is to many "know to little's" that dont know how to build a motor all they know is what everyone else is telling them then they pass the info on and on and on it goes

Long live the D!!!
soon to be rocking the K
