NA B16 or Boosted D17

[danielsalsa]

All being equal, which would be the victor in the quarter mile for an EM2. A boosted D17 or the NA B16? Thanks =)

someone correct me if I am wrong here, but I dont think there is an option for mounts for a b16 into an em2.

[danielsalsa]

I'm pretty sure there is.

Boosted D17. I'm with mrnicolas. I'm not real sure there are mounts.

[Levi]

well hasport sure as hell doesnt have them. what they have as options for the em2 would be a k series swap mount kit.

[danielsalsa]

So there are no Em2s out there running with b16s?

[88cr-rex]

there is no replacement for displacement. seriously.

sorry, never seen one.

[danielsalsa]

Ah well, and the K will pull harder than the D obviously. Just too much money right now.

[Levi]

you could always sell your em2 and find yourself a 92-00 civic hatch/coupe and have all kinds of options on swaps. just a suggestion. for the money you could get for your em2, you could have a decent older civic.

boost the d17

[danielsalsa]

Haha! That would be nice.

[hondajosh]

if you are gonna go old school b series what about boosted B20, they are super cheap.....if you can afford it go K

[danielsalsa]

Has anyone had any experience or heard anything about JET ECU chipping? I think it would be a wise investment for my EM2, I'm just not sure what I should expect with the chip. I'm looking for the most power gain without paying for some boost or a DOHC motor.

[93civiccx]

Jet is real good as far as domestic ecu's. I've had several for some of my mustangs and my truck. I'd look around on here first though. There are alot of guys that chip on here at a decent price. Boost the D17 and you'll smoke b16's all day long.

My friend had a JET P28 on his bolt-on 93 Si HB. Ran neck and neck with a another bolt-on Si with stock ECU.

[jimmyb34]

cant put a b16 in an em2.. and jet chips are nothing special for imports...
with an em2 you dont have much of a choice but to be slow if you dont want to put in a k

[transzex]

B16 = pointless.

high compression NA D16Z6 will kicks it's ass, no boost needed!

there's always emanage for tuning.
