In the world of Honda performance, the B16 is one of the most legendary engines ever produced. At the time it absolutely blew most of the competition away and even today it still offers a ridiculous amount of horsepower per liter naturally aspirated. The B16A is the most common B16 engine, but Honda also built the B16B for Civic Type R, and today we’re going to find out what the differences are and which one is better!

If you guys enjoyed the video, please SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON. It helps the channel out a huge amount and helps TH-cam put the video in front of more people. Thanks for watching 😬
what about the b18c1 and b18c5
Smashed! And I hope your V-TEC kicked on!
A better title for this video would be how many times can you say b16 in 5 mins.
74 times. Not counted but a guess
I lost count after the b16a1-6 breakdown 😂
😂
LOL, yeah he did say it a lot. (:
You won me over when you said the B16B is a B18C block. Thank you for saying this. It is something people look over all too often. (:
Nice, thanks for using my clip!!
Garage Built Hondas hope you’re okay with me using some clips from you 😬 keep up the awesome work man! We’re both in Phoenix I think, let’s get a collab going 👍
@@Dustrunnersauto Use them as much as you want, I enjoy helping out the community!! I'm about 7 hours away unfortunately in El Paso, TX. I do visit every now and then though as my brother still lives there. Maybe someday we can get something together!
I had a b16a that revvved to 9500rpm ALOT and I drive it for 5 years...still running when I yanked it for a ls VTEC
You got tired of having no tourq, thats why you built a ls vtec. So did i my friend. I got me a b18b1 bottom end and built a fully booted ls vtec
So happy to have b16b EG8 . It's such a blast to drive I thought it had to have a something because I saw p72 on the block and I knew that wasn't a b16 casting number . Good to know the extra info now. Just got a chipped p28, gonna see what I can make on her 🔥❤️
Hey man, love your channel. All this Honda stuff is great and I find it incredibly informative. Would you consider doing videos on the F20C/F22C1 from the s2000 and the H22 from the prelude?
Still using eg8 until now . I love it so much !
I was expecting a detail comparison. This was very high level.
Superb explanation of these two motors!!
Very useful information thanks. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.
Very informative video ! thank you
Very well explained… much appreciated it
Thanks for this video. Someone actually offered me a b16a engine but needs a lot of work to restore it.
Sick video. Thanks.
Like the vids man.great info.can you do one on 90s Toyota 1.8L?
Very good informations. Thank you.
And the most inportant, B16B had a LSD in the gearbox.
Same with the jdm b16a
B16a, some variations came with a LSD transmission.
@@skaterockerstar Actually all jdm b16a from the civic 92-00 came with lsd. It is the delsol and 88-91 civic ef with the jdm b16a that didnt come with lsd.
S4C,Y21,and S80 boxes came with LSD and non LSD
effing wrecked Not true, but it was certainly an option on civics and the del sol
Detail explanation, thanks bro
Del sol b16B here...love the explanation 👌
Thanks for the information .
Looking to put a B16A or B16B into my Swift Sport ZC32. Got heaps more info than I excepted. Great video!!!
B20vtech
Don't tell me you are putting in suzuki swift sport!!?!!
Good job dude u got a sub
Very good educational video. Now it makes definitely makes more sense why the Honda Civic Type R was so lauded as the forbidden fruit in the 90’s despite being in a FWD chassis.
Can you share some info on the H-series engines? The whole Accord Type R and Prelude Type S family tree is still messy to me. And then there is the Acura models too
All type R's do
just a question. since the block of b16b is from b18c, it can convert into a 1.8liter engine (with more torque) by changing the rod and piston? also i believe the b18c block can take a lot more beating than the b16a and the limit of redline is a testimony to that i suppose
Good quality video very entertaining
Awesome video
My integra DA9 came with a b16a when I bought it from the previous owner. Planning on b20 tho
Ok 👌 got it! B16B the best of the two.....
So lucky I have a B16b in my EK4. Never letting go of this car hehe
SpartanHD rub it in why don’t you 🙄
SpartanHD jealous!
@@Dustrunnersauto Thanks my dude! Previous owner swapped it in and luckily in my state people want hondas for free, so i bought the car for $6000 w Milano red paint, sunroof and plenty of spoon and mugen goodies!
Its the funnest vtec honda ive owned and its only getting better! Also at the moment its in the shop for an ek9 LSD install, driveshafts, new clutch, bearings and seals, and oils/filters!
I'm in the same boat. EK4 with a B16B mated to a GSR transmission. Debating trying to find a CTR transmission or put a shorter final drive, LS 5th gear, and LSD into the transmission I have.
I also want to switch the engine over to coil on pack ignition. I think cap and rotor really hamstrings the VTEC. Hoping for 40mph highway and 200hp at the crank.
@@lt1s142 nice man, my motor has basic bolt ons i/h/e atm and i plan to continue that and go for bigger injectors, fuel pump, hondata s300 v3 and a dyno tune. That should easily see 180-200hp at the wheels. coil on pack ignition aint really necessary imo
Can you do a video about the L15B7 and L15BA, found in hondas civic, crv, and accord lineup? That would be much appreciated!!
Good work man
Just picked up a b16a second gen for my del sol a month ago just waiting to be back home from vacation to do the swap just gotta order a few del sol specific parts for the b16
Owen Monias nice!
Did you need any fab work ? I’m looking to put a B16 into my del sol as well as
Many potential Hondaboys in Russia and I for myself are scared with non-availability of information about such not so popular for Russia JDM engines like B16. The problem is the language barrier. The most part of us have a low level of speaking/reading in English. Sorry to see that the most part of Russian JDM community gives preference to more common (but really awesome) engines like RB, SR, 3S even 4G63 and especially JZ. Thanks for the video, that was exactly what I looked for.
Could you do a ‘ultimate guide to tuning a b16a’ type video?
Also had B18c inlet manifold
I'm not sure where you live, but finding a B16A2 engine was very hard. I looked for almost 9 months to find one for my EM1. They're pretty hard to come by.
To correct the rumor, they did port the typeR head however they did not polish the ports. Just ported
U should make a video on what's a better engine b16b or b18c5 since they are both Type R engine's from the same time frame. What are the differences unless its just a .02 litter size change
Do H series next please!!!!
Bryan Munoz it’s on the video to-do list! Honda engine videos seem to get good views, so that video will likely happen sooner rather than later.
It's like comparing apples and oranges it's not just the engine is the total package of the Type R that makes the b16b epic. Go for a ride in a clean low km b16a Civic then do the same in a low km b16b Type R and you would not even think they were the same car. The b16b is Leaps and Bounds ahead the way it develops power how hard the VTEC kicks and how it just drives is no match and this is coming from a guy who has a b16a2 in my Civic
Hey can Greddy B16a timing belt work on a any B18 series engine?
Good day! I have b16a engine and its already port & polished & tuned. Can you refer me what the best after market camshaft be the best for my engine to have more more power & torque? Thanks!
Ctr, skunk2, or brian crower for boost
Code on my head reads pr3-4 not sure which b16A series engine I have. Gonna check the ecu when I get around to it
I've been running my b16a for close to 10 years now and it still tacks like it did when it bought it
Do a video on the b17a1 ❗️❗️❗️
I have a b18b1 with a gsr head ls bottom end
Just picked up a B16B tonight
Which engine of b16A's series is better?
Short version the B16B is a B18C5 destroked. The B16B has a more aggressive cam than the 18.. The PR3 head also flows better which is why the GSR head and R head are not the same
Can you do review of f22, h23 and h22 please?
Nothing wrong with the b16a. If your looking to stay stock crank than b16as awesome. B16bs only benefits fitting a b18 crankshaft. Other than that both cylinder heads have the same potential
Make a video for the defence between neo vvl N1 vs b16b vtec
Yup I agree with you.
B-series is on a comeback 🧟♂️🌙
Tabs Won heck yes they are, I have 4, ones gonna be an lsv Turbo build
👀
Part of the reason why they're on a comeback is cuz people are starting to realize that they can't afford a $10,000 k swap build
I would use a B-series engine even now a days. They were way far ahead of their time. (:
Yes sir. I just rebuilt my b16B with special secret sauce parts to bring up passed 250+Hp will have to make a video on it when it comes thru.
I had two friends with the b16a. The one had it in a ek hatch and the other had it in a eg coupe. The vtec crossover in the ek was just about as loud as my k20z3, but the eg’s crossover was very subtle and didn’t pop on the crossover. I never really understood that until now
What was the reason?
Edgar Soltero the only reason I could think of after watching the video is the ek was obd1 and the eg was obd2
@@DirtyMikeSlays ummmmm putting obd2 into an eg would be stupid af. Or do you mean sir 1 and sir 2?
I've also heard some b series really pop on vtec crossover, and some were softer. My B18C was on the softer side, but I think it depends on your tuning solution and vtec solenoid used.
Anyone have any ideas on where to post my b16a p30 pistons/rods for sale? I put them in a couple Honda groups but heard nothing, they’re fine I’m just putting forged internals in lol
The b16b pistons have the highest compression and has the biggest intake came out of all the b series.
I wish it was the same price now. HMO sold their full b16b swap for 7000 last fall. The b16a now is roughly 3500 to 4500 ish depending. I'm sure you can get it cheaper somewhere else but people are paying these prices from HMO.
Have one they are awesome engines 💯👍👍👍
Question I have a 95 Civic non VTEC base model I want a VTEC the head on it which head should I use
D16z6 head
How is the zc sohc engine compare to the b16A
So can you bolt a b16b head to a b18b block for the ultimate ls/Vtec?
Re: I guess it would be pretty much just clout that you have a LS/b16bvtec. A b16a head could be just as good for cheaper.
Wish some one would explain stroker cranks and cams and how they change everything maybe use K-20 K-24
A stroker crank increases the stroke, thus increasing displacement and torque. Downside is you can't rev as high due to increased piston speeds. Cams have nothing to do with bore or stroke. A bigger cam will open the intake and exhaust valves more, and for longer, letting more air in and out of the engine. More air equals more power. An engine is really just an air pump. The more efficiently you can get air in and out, the more power you make.
So is the only difference between a B16B and a B18CR just the stroke length of the piston?
Do a D Series video
Old thread but how simple is it to swap a b16b head onto a b16a block. I.e. would I just follow the cam timing marks and be ok with that?
B16b uses b16a head lol. Its just more refurbished with port and polish.
CTR B16B of course
Will a B18b bolt to a B16b head with nonVtec cams. Feels like that would be the best setup to build the best LS engine w/turbo. Build s sport version of an Intera RS. A RS$450 runs neer me.
Why would you want a B16 head w/o VTEC?
how about the 4g92 Mivec?
i love my b16a. I put a UEL headers on it. It sounds so fucking good man. Next year im going to out a 4.7 lsd type r on it cant wait
What is the fuel consumption of a B16B?
Subbed
What about a G23? F23 Block H22 Heads and somepeople put K20 pistons in it
Just buy an h22a. G23 will suffer oiling issues to the head overtime
Love my B16A2
plz do a b18 videoc
B16B rare and comes with higher hp 185 and higher compression.
It comes with 185hp an b16a2 comes with 170hp
B16a 160hp

So would you recommend a b16a or a b18c for a swap?
More powaaaaaaaaa, b18 of horse
B18C5 if you can get one
HCM 619 I have a bone stock b18c5 in my fully itr swapped integra that I just happen to blew up
@@petrolhead8851 I love those B18C5 , High revving fun motors as is stock. . Don't need to do much on those out the box. If you want 300 whp boost 8-9-10 lbs stock. The compression is not too high for it. I'm currently rebuilding my B20 block for high Compression 12:1, head is a B16 full Crower built, port and polished.
HCM 619 oh believe me it was fun while it lasted,I smoked ap2 s2000’s,g35’s,was dope to dope with 350z’s,I smoked v6 accords lol,when I’m done building my f20b swapped ej2 coupe I’ll rebuild my b18c5 to factory spec and maybe just add a kraftwerks supercharger...b20’s are a good n/a monsters
When built right
F20C vs K20A, pls?
Ya. Spend some $ on a B16B and then there is a huge difference. Proud owner of a B16B, block # 1003512, putting down 206whp.🏁🏴☠️
im feel so lucky having B16b engine on my sedan ek 😭
Ahmad Saifuddin but why not have an h22 or k20 instead?
@@wendellgreenidge3362 because of its rarity and its unique design. Also those are completely different engines from the b seres. Also if you race your car the difference in displacement puts you in different classes which can give you a disadvantage.
An h22 weighs only like 80 pounds more than a b series engine. If you set up the suspension properly there is no disadvantage. Now as for a rare engine that may be the case but the point I thought was to have a high reving performance engine when I could buy a stock b16 for third the price and build something more powerful for the same money as a stock b16b
@@wendellgreenidge3362 I've heard of people getting 4 to 500hp out of the b16b with stock internals
Where is the best place to pick up a full b16a swap without spending a fortune? I had the chance to pick up the whole swap for 1500 last year I'm kicking myself in the ass over passing that up lol
can you do one comparing the b18 and the r18?
R 18 is just an economy engine where as b has many versions like b16 b18 b20 basically B series is for both economy n racing 🏎 whereas R 18 u will find in civic fd as economy engine nothing more
I got a b16a my mate has b16a1 ? What is more valuable
Well done now the 93 b17 GS-R please
I was really excited to test drive a B17 93 Gsr, but I really didn't like it very much. It didn't feel any better than a b16 to me. Maybe it's because the Integra was a tiny bit heavier, but my 93 EG hatch with a B18C w/lsd trans felt so much better.
@@catch22frubert around a track tho the db2 chassis is better then the eg chassis.
@@catch22frubert You drove an EG6 hatchback with a B18C what version Type R or GSR ? with LSD trans dude I'm jealous those little EG6's with properly tuning are so fiery on the track not mention to this date the EG6 still owns the record of the best lap times at Tsukuba circuit its a classic hot hatch 1.6 DOHC VTEC that revs to 9.000 RPMS double wishbone suspension weights less than 1000 and handles well and fun to drive
Why does it not work longitudinally in a FR configuration? (whereas the K motor can be mounted longitudinally)
@Sergio Aguirre CCW?
@Sergio Aguirre Do B- and K- have the trans on the same side of the car? Or is it opposite?
@Sergio Aguirre Ahh, ok. I get it now.
The B, D, and H series engines turned backwards. I heard that this was to suit racing in Japan as they have RHD in Japan and the engine balanced the side to side weight distribution. There is a company called KGP engines here in Ireland that convert B16C engines to rotate clockwise for RWD applications in rally cars.
@@Pats-Shed nice
Dude I have a B20B low comp now I want a B16B
Yeah, man. You don't want a b16 block, what you want is the b16 head. Slap it on your b20 block and enjoy the torque. I never thought b16's were fun. Having No torque sucks and it's slow.
Now u got to do a video of which is better b16b or b18c
Easy answer. B18C by far, assuming they both have an LSD trans. I've driven everything Honda you can drive, b16, b17, b18, and owned an EG hatch with a B18c and LSD trans for many years, and the more torque you have, the better the car is to drive in my opinion. I love the high revs as well, but torque is what really feels good. B16 revs to the moon, and sounds good in theory, but it just makes a lot of noise and doesn't feel like you are going anywhere. Being buried in the seat by torque is a much more enjoyable experience, and it's faster.
catch22frubert I somewhat agree with you but I currently have a b16b and I wouldn’t change it for nothing
What about Honda d16y8 could you do a about it and d15b

Is the b16a worth to boost it?
Just boost a B18c. The money difference isn't much, and more displacement equals more power more easily.
300hp reliable easy n cheap
Which is better? B16 or B18?
Are all those books about engines?
I have a SiR philipines b16b
They only partially polished the intake bowls.
B16 b16 b16 b16 b16 b16 b16 b16 b16
Where's the ultimate matchup B18 VS K20 ????
With the amount of money to buy a B16B, Is that amount of money enough to buy a B16A AND modify it and be faster than a B16B or close?
4 is homophone to the word "death" in Chinese, Korean and Japanese so that's why there's no B16A4.
