difference of d16 and b16

whats the difference between the d16 and b16 engine? Any benefactors?

S E A R C H seriously read the swapping guide and dont ask questions if you didnt search for your answer first.

follow what he says but major diff is one is sohc and ones dohc

DOHC, more HP, higher stock redline, alittle heavier, looks cooler :shakehead .

search, but your gonna look at this anyways so, a d16 is sohc, meaning single overhead camshaft, and the b16 is DOHC, meaning, double overhead camshaft. There is about a 40 hp difference if not, a little less(b16 160, d16, 120-130). Torque numbers, slightly higher in the b16's(110-120 lbs/ft) but not by much, d16's(d16z6) come in ex 5th gens, im not sure in which model but they come in the 6th gens as well(d16y8), the b16's come in a variety of cars, 92-93 jdm integra's, del sol's (not sure which years), Si hatch's 92-95(not usdm), 99-00 civic Si, those are the ones i know of, there are more that are older but im not sure in what cars they come in(civics), theres a sticky at the top of the list of the threads, look at that for further info. And anyone correct me if any of my info is not right please.

JUST THE LETTER BEFOR 16.

there is a difference between the two??



hontoy: don't post everything in caps please.

i have a sohc vtec d16y8 and a dohc vtec b16. 1 difference people don't think about is the cost of maintance. aftermerket and OEM parts are cheaper for the z6/y8. you could slap turbo on a z6/y8 and get almost as much hp as a b16 with only a little more money spent than doing a b16. on the flip side you tap out on hp quicker with a sohc...dohc has much more potential

which engine is better for you really depends on you

to expand on what 95dxcivic said:

92-95 civic si/ex = d16z6
96-00 civic ex = d16y8
