R18 vs D16

Ep3racer954 · 04-06-2006, 03:05 PM

seeing as how people have made mad numbers on the d16 SOHC VTEC, how do you think the R18 will compare??? will the R18 be the next D16??? opinions, comments, flaming... whatever.. personally, the R18 is the new technology and i think that if companies work with it, they can really make this a bad ass engine.

i hope so for my own sake

Actually, I've heard the Fit's 1.5L is closer to the D16 than the R18 is.

K20 > R18
B18 > B16 > D16
B18 > R18 > D16

B16 >? R18 At least that last one is my guess anyway. I didn't include the D17. I think it's pretty close to the D16 tho.

I think you should have started with an Si if you wanted performance.

b16 does not compare to the r18... the r18 may compare to the b18a or b18b... these are both ls motors which make 130 and 140

It's a prefix for an engine code of the family of engines found in some late 80's/early 90's Integras and Civics.

D16 OWNED!!!! And it has all boltons!

lowerlevel · 02-25-2008, 06:35 PM

well i have a d16y7 in my crx and it it faster than the r18 civic.. now on the other hand if i was to put the r18 in the rex it would be faster im sure!!

pks17 · 02-25-2008, 08:06 PM

I think my d16z6 or was it d16a6? in my old stock 88 crx si could outrun my current R18.
Im pretty sure of it, to add insult to injury, i also got 500-600kms on every 45L gas tank.
BUT, my crx didnt have power windows, locks, AC, any airbags at all, and was pretty rough, rugged and noisy compared to the 8th gen civic. I think the newest civic is comparable to the 94-97 honda accords ex which i also had.
