which would be faster? b16a in civic/crx 88-91 or sr20det in 240sx 89-94?

sr20det-- 205 HP 203 ft. lbs. torque
b16a-- 160 HP 111 ft. lbs. torque


I would guess the nissan, but I haven't seen anyone around here running that setup. The honda would be lighter, but not as strong an engine. Anyone with any info about sr20's e.t.'s or race results please post. Thanks.

 

This is a no-brainer.

 

yeah i think the answer is obvious, sr20 can go real fast with little work, and rwd will keep the traciton, 240 all the way

 

go to the et elite on the home page, greaser is the fastest, he had that setup, i know a guy who just finished his swap and all he has is a front mount intercooelr and boost controler and there is no was a b16 would touch it

 

hahaha. sr20 power, especially with lsd... yummm

 

yea.....greasers car is fast....but what about shad and boostfed?


just playin....theyre cheaters.

 

sr20det would be much faster and cheaper, and the motor is ready for more power!!
And this is in no way a biased opinion

 

i think the crx would be cheaper, but the sr20 would be faster...this was a purdy stoopid question

 

a freind in CA just put down 478 at 25psi thorugh a stock block SR20

 

There is no good answer to this question because of the variables involved. A stock DET in a 240sx is not that fast. Of course neither is a stock B16 in a Civic. The problem is no one with these setups stay stock for long. Comparing modded cars is impossible due to the variables involved. The RWD car has a advantage of course. The civic is real light. Each has potential but the 240 is a better starting point.
