depends on if the engines are stock or not and what mods they have done to them...but i'd say the b18 would pull ahead without a doubt...

You prolly wont be able to keep up. Your gonna need to either boost, or do alot of interal work to the motor.

doesn't matter...even the B18A will still pull ahead...the db/dc chassis isn't that much heavier that the ek/ej...plus b18 rev higher so powerband is much broader than the D16...

your mods are good for only...4-6 hp to be reasonable...so don't think you can oust much...except civics of your range...

"which will be faster, a blind 3 legged hamster on oxycottin, or a gixxer 1000 with nitro"

I raced a friend of mine with my old, burning oil d16z6 with i/h/e against his good running b18a in a 2nd gen teg and pulled him good up top. it was just for fun, my motor was definetely worn, BAD. My car is a 93 civic SI(heavy)

turbo or s/c d16 will keep up, or maybe on spray, but otherwise, I'd definately say no.
Though, I can keep up with my friend's GSR from a red light, only because he has some slight traction issues. I was chasing him from a red light and kept up until the top of 2nd gear.

Unless the d series is boosted or spraying you won't win, unless of course the guy driving the b18 is like 85 and can't see over the wheel. N/A mods are useless on a d series IMO, boosted though they kick a lot of ass.

Only way the see the D winning off boost is a moderate build. Agressive cam, new springs and retainers and possibly even the bottom end redone.
