Curious to know why you think it matters? because it doesnt

Great first post noob

 

If I'm building something that's supposed to be a "lightweight" track car, then ya, it really matters. 50-75 extra pounds hanging on the front of a car will make a noticeable difference in handling characteristics.

 

i think like 150lbs? im not too sure bro, ill check it out.

Edit:

B = roughly 415-420lbs, stock
D = Roughly 235-240lbs, stock

Hope that helps.

 

^ No way.

The bulk of the weight difference is in the trans. I would say between my DOHC ZC long block and lsv longblock there was a ~ 50 lb difference.

 

your right. i can tell you from a guy thats had many a d-series and b-series trannys on his chest that the b-series weigh more...at least 15-20 pounds more.

 

yea it doesnt weigh 200 lbs more lol... i am pretty sure the weight difference is less than 50 lbs which imo is pretty minimal

 

Yea, would .2 or .4 extra liters of displacement make it weigh 150-200 lbs more? lol doubt it. I'm not certain but it's got to be a very minimal weight different between the motors. Like others have said--it's probably more about the weight of the transmission.

 

How much does a complete d16z6 motor weigh? - Honda Forum / Acura Forum - SuperHonda.com

B18B1 = 350 Lbs
D16Z6 = 310 Lbs

Add 20 Lbs for a VTEC B18

 

^ boom!

200lbs more.....lol.

 

lmao!inch:

 

i heard vtec adds 20Lbs...

 

This thread fails, this has been discussed so many times already.

To settle the H22 Vs B Series Weight Arguement I bring you this... (pics) - Honda-Tech

People worry too much about the weights..

 

no...i was talkin bout with the accersories. it weighs that much.

 

wait i didnt mean to hit the 4 it was a 3 lol. my bad.

 

true if utilizing stock components for handling every pound makes a differince, if placing a substancially heavier motor in the car then what it was originally designed for is your intent then remember they are for the most part designed to be balanced. aftermarket sespension can help adjust the displacement but deppending on the over all goal of the vehical it may not matter. IE utilizing say a k20 in a 90 civic, all be it over kill but sick if you can keep it to the ground for track car. the substancial weight differince would make it hard as hell for a DD. So OP what would be your goal for the car. if its a dd, you should be fine B or D. its when you look at pure preformance applications that it comes down to 100lbs= aprox .01 of a second.

 

ok. if most of the weight gain is in the tranny then how much do the b series tranny weigh?

 

Only about a 10-15lb difference in the trans. B's have larger blocks/heads (only the DOHC D's have B style heads which are deep with a shallow valve cover) an additional cam, larger cam caps, twice the LMA's, larger sleeves, etc.
