Maybe not de-tuned, but it has less power so I figure it is detuned. What are it's advantages over the B18C spec R?

I am going to give you an answer that would apply to a domestic.. if it dont apply here..delete this

destroked motors rev higher for longer..

i.e. nascar chevy's use 377 stokers (destroked 400's) to rev to 9k all day.

 

[B16]

yes, the b16b does rev higher

Because of the valvetrain... and all brands pull that shit. Nissan uses it's same motor for the Altima, Maxima, and 350Z. De-tuned. The B16 rather, was misquoted rather than de-tuned. It stepped alot closer to the GSR than they wanted us to know.

I know this has no relative point but don't forget the G35 on the Infiniti side as well, it too uses the same motor.

I thought you all knew that the B16B was really a B18C block?

300whp all motor on a B block isn't going to be easy to get!

 

[pills_PMD]

that being said... which block is "stronger" ??

 

[phunky.buddha]

B18C- really only because it has the built in crank girdle. The oil squirters help keep your pistons cooler too, which allows you to run higher compression and rev higher too.

 

[B16]

the b16a does also have oil squirters

Ah, I thought it didn't.

 

[lsvtec]

My B16A didn't.

 

[rsaeini]

was it a first gen or second gen?
i think the A2 does but the A1 didn't, right? :unsure:

 

[lsvtec]

That sounds correct to me. Mine was an A1.
