All that work to redeem yourself... *sigh* B series motors are tough and they make a lot of power. You bring up 3 of the engines I have the most vast experience with (D15/16, B series, 4AGs) so i gotta break them down a bit for you. B16/18s are good engines. We have a B16A set-up with ITBS and it runs beautifully. The motor has been beaten up on for most of this year, and we have not had any major problems with it. It's eaten nitrious, ran with bad tuning, dragged with a leaky head gasket, and recently, when taken apart, everything was CLEAN. This was almost always the case with the B series motors I worked on. We've spun this engine on almost a daily basis up to 8.5 rpms and it took the abuse since we've had it (had it since march). The engine still runs beautifully, even on crappily tuned ITBs... That's gotta say a bit about how tough this motor is. D series Honda motors are tough... why? Cause they've been in service, and are still in service since the early 80's. That alone has to say a bit about how well designed the engine is. Of course all engines have their problems, but if they're still being used... it's a good design. They do make some decent power also, and respond very well to nitrious. With modifications readily available and backed by Companies like Skunk2 and such, these engines have fair potential. Finally to compare the 2 above mentioned to the 4AGs... well, I'm afraid to say the 4AG may measure up to the D16 in terms of making power, it will not make as much streetable power as the D16. The D16 has far more buildability because it can be bored and stroked to some degree, while the 4AGs can't (5A/7A strokers, yes, but very limited bore). The formula atlantic 4AG should not be used as a comparison because even though it makes good power, it is NOT a streetable motor and is not an engine people can build and use on the street. MOST 16V 4AGs don't make more than 200 hp without very serious work. As unlikely as it sounds, I've seen D15/16 n/a motors that put out comparable numbers to streetable built 4AGs. I love the 4AGs... but I'll admit, it's not because they can make a fair amount of power. The D16's can almost match the 16V 4AGs... Oh... and go ahead and try to dispute what I say. It's all good and I never take these things personally. I'll just ask you this... have I been totally incorrect, yet still refuse to acknowledge the opposing side? Have I passed completely wrong information? Have I used my personal opinion to sway the facts? I'm merely clearifying things that are said which are based off of pure opinion... >>>Edited in<<<< I wanted to show you this also... My old 4AG that froze because of oiling problems... Work of beauty... Engines break... there's no way around that... This post has been edited by Kwanza26: Sep 27, 2004 - 1:51 AM -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
