b series

[anthony90si]

whats in common with the b series. is that for the dohc

[travagliante]

um not really sure what you mean? Whats in common.
Um DOHC engines except for one if i remember correctly its a carbed sohc bseries. Not sure though. Most have vtec. 81mm bore. Not sure what else you want to know. You will need a mount kit to fit bseries engines in except for the b20a6(5) from preludes which that engine has nothing in common with all the other b series engines.

[anthony90si]

well what the different between d series and b series

[travagliante]

b-series are bigger more potential too.

B-Series Pros
DOHC + VTEC
81 mm bore=more Torque
More power potential
Stock can handle up to 400+ hp on most parts

B-Series Cons
MOunt kit required
Wring trouble
not as good as a d gas mileage
Expensive


D Series Pros
Bolt in
Most stock and newer d parts are interchangeable
cheaper
better gas milage
lighter
engine costs about what a bseries mount kit cost
SOHC + Vtec (Only 3 dohc engine [zc,d16a1,d16a3]

D-series Cons
Not as powerful
No more than 300hp on stock internals
limited to power


Thats

[anthony90si]

oh ok i c. do you know why the stock mounts would not work

[audioquattro]

the b-series engines mount up differently to the engine bay, thus you need the specialized b-series mounts for the engine mount connecting points on the block to meet the connecting points on the engine bay. stock b-series mounts will work on a 92+ civic i believe, but not on an 88-91.

b series are pretty decent engines, but for the money...i would rather turbo a d-series

[anthony90si]

oh ok cool what about trying to fab some mounts or modify them. thats what i have now a d series my tranny let go so i decided to put the 1.8 i had kicking round

[audioquattro]

if you know someone who works at a machine shop, you could go that route....but it would be a pain in the ass, and would vibrate horribly if not perfect, i say just buy the mounts f you insist on going b series

if you need a trans. i have a Si trans laying around i'd be willing to let go of for 75.00 no grinds 126,xxx miles

[anthony90si]

humm where you from audioquattro

[anthony90si]

i was just thinking on cutting the mounts and weld them how ever they line up.unless i can get mounts for cheap. i will see.
