ok, my buddy just sold me a b18b for 150 with out the head and tranny. So now I want a b16 head and tranny for it. Ive had a hard time locating the tranny, and i havent really found to many hot deals on the head. so heres my idea.

this same guy will sell me a complete b16a sir 1 for 700. I was thinkin just buy the whole swap get the head and tranny for 700 bucks and then sell whats left over. sound good?

now my only concern is that i want a hydro tranny and a b16a3 head for the 4v per cylinder. So i just struck out on both needs. I want to know what you guys have to say. suggestions please.

 

Um, all B16 heads are 4 valves per cylinder...

As for the SiR-I tranny, you can get a kit to run a cable tranny on your hydro tranny car.

 

that was the impresion i had untill i pulled one off the motor. On the intake side it has 2 valves and on the exhaust side only one. Check it out for yourself if you ever work on a motor with a sir1 b16 head.

 

learn something new everyday

 

That can't be true....
Type R's have 16 valves, and you can put them on an sir-1 (I did), you'd never be able to do that if there was a different number of valves on there. A b16 exhaust cam has 3 lobes...
low, med and high
the low and med control the two exhaust valves independiently during every day driving, then the high one controls them both during vtec.

 

yep. i think this guy got stiffed into buying a ghetto head. to my knowledge, all DOHC VTEC motors have 4 valves per cyl.

 

to my knowledge all vtec motors period have 16 valves. I don't think honda has made a 4 cylinder with 12v in over ten years!

 

I think the VTEC-E VX head has 3 valves per cylinder, but yah, that was a while back.

 

the standard DOHC VTEC, VTEC-i, and VTEC-E all are 16 valve heads. The VTEC-E is a 3-stage VTEC system.
