I doubt you're that much faster. Compared to my neighbor's Firebird Trans Am with an LS1 engine, your b20 would get it's doors blown off. Sure, it's great to have a fast Civic, and they can be modded to be very fast cars, but it's in no way the end all of fast cars on the road.

All I'm saying is that people are hyping up the b series and VTEC like they're the end all of power, but they still pale in comparison to the GM LT and LS.

f**k b-series all about the D niggas!!!

no engine is the end all, cuz people build things differently. and your comparing 5.7 liters to 1.6-2.0. and there are quiet a few 4 cylinder cars out there that could beat it, and get good gas milage while doing so.

I'm not sure about the second part, but I wholeheartedly agree on the first part. I'd rather drive my RSX-s and get good performance and 30ish mpg, then a little better performance with 18 mpg. Thus, why I have two Hondas and no American cars.

Let's not forget the reliability issue, my RSX will be around long after his Trans Am. I'll also likely pay less in repairs throughout it's life, and I won't have the infamous GM Sag.

your on a honda site

so of COURSE they are going to compare things that fall under that.... no one on a honda site is going to say "b series suck you should have gotten a chevy big block"...... why wont they say this? because its stupid and make no logical argument.... everyone realizes that there will always be faster cars.... the reality is there are PLENTY of fast D series motors... and if you are on a set budget dollar for follar they are BETTER than b series motors.... for several reasons.. example... if you ONLY have 3,000 to spend.. you could get a b18 swap.. OR turbo a d... the d will be faster... with a set limited amount of cash d IS better... i ran a juiced y8 for YEARS.. beat TONS of swapped cars.. juiced y8 ($500) > b16 swap ($2000).. this is all just simple logic.. ALSO if you break a d a new motor is WAY cheaper... now the other side... if youexpect to mod the car forever.. if you have no long term cap the B series is better because its just that much faster... its all in what YOU are doing and what goals YOU have... theres no right or wrong..

imho, the J-series engines were great SOHCs, especially the J37. 300hp/275lbft.

For a few hundred bucks less than a B-swap, I took my D16 and ran 13.2 on street tires, put down 220fwhp/200ft./lbs. on stock internals.
