Re: CRX Motor Debate ZC vs B16
B16 bottom ends are wholly substandard due to piston speeds from too high a RS ratio, lack of displacement, and because they are the homosexual's engine of choice.
Comparing stock B rods is splitting hairs They aren't that much different in size. You're dealing with stock rods that only handle so much power, and implementation (displacement, piston speed, etc) is what carries the day.

B16 FTW, they are far superior to LS motors, the bottom ends are stronger, the top ends are far superior, and LS gears suck so bad it's not even funny so you're going to need a dohc vtec tranny anyway.

Re: CRX Motor Debate ZC vs B16
damn, something is up with washington's zc and b16 drivers. I ------- pull on every sinlge ------- zc, sohc and dohc, and any b16. From a roll that is 
, my tq pwns. from a dig, a will barely beat a b16 hatch. dohc zc's dont even have a chance(i raced a dohc zc HF, i left him like no other).
b18+boost=sex if tuned right.

Not to quote HT but on the highest horsepower on a stock block thread the B16's top 10 is way above the LS. The B16 r/s ratio is made to rev, it's on purpose. The rods are thicker, and stronger than the LS and with a stock LS head how much of a powerband are you going to have when you're revving to 7K or 7.2K?

Get this through your head: headflow means jack ---- in a compressor-limited forced induction car, unless the head flow so poorly it shoves you vertically off your compressor map. Which, with an LS, is around 750 whp. You making 750 whp, son? :1
