i think if that was the case you would be required to run the b16a

 

let me refraise that. I ment run my "built B16" in a rhd crx.
could I do that in s/s?

 

If you have a real JDM CRX (not converted), then you would only be allowed to run a B16 motor, no B18s. If you built a B16 thats fine, but there are many differences in the b16 and b18 blocks unlike the B18B to B18C so any B18 would be out of the question.

 

thanx for clearing that up a little Fran.
Seems kinda like a grey area to me.
Theres problley no real benefit to running a B-series S/S CRX,cause of weight penalties.

???

 

I'll be back next year.

 

Sweet that sounds good to have the nod from Frank Choi. Hopefully i'll be runnin' with ya this season.

Any other input guys?

 

there are no min weights in the street stock class.

this is the direct rule on the imports vs domestics website in street stock:
Engine: No motor swaps allowed. Engine and cylinder head must have been available for year, make, and model of car sold in USA.

boti rules may differ.


I think that boti should follow the imports vs domestics rules and allow 6 cylender car compete in street stock, really helps fill the field, look at the street stock turnout:

Hmm I thought street stock didnt have enough cars? The rules are awesome for imports vs domestics, look at the diversity and turn out in the class. The promoter of the event spread the word on a ton of forums to get a large street stock turnout, and it happened. The cars are out there, they are willing to race, there just needs to be better more open rules ( for VWs', nissans ect) and good communication.

 

Take out the rwd and the domestic and it's still a full field.

 

It will be fun to line up with you again..
Hopefully I can make some small changes to my car and run a little faster...

 

you gunna come up north this year???

 

Still thinking of the thought of building another S/S single cam car for next season.. I have a spare engine sitting in the garage...

 

i just picked up a 88 civic dx hb. now am i allowed to run a built b16 in this car or do i have to run a SOHC ??

 

Yeah.. I'm going to make all the California races and Las Vagas too... I don't know about Seattle or Woodburn though..

If that were the case, then I would have to put my motor into an EG...
I am pretty sure you have to run a single cam..

 

read my post above you. thats the point I was getting at.
you have to run the motor that was available to your car in that year (in the U.S.)

So you pretty much have to stay SOHC. NON VTEC i'm asuming.

 

well that sucks.... but what about having a integra LS??? we had an integra ls at fontana and we had a lsvtec going on. i know the the integra didnt come with an lsvtec

 

i dont think that matters much. as long as its the same series engine in that model it belongs, not down to the exact edition, like rs, ls, gsr, itr.

i would see no problem with a ls/v in a ls integra. its a b series in a integra, not a motor swap as far as i am conserned.

 

It must be a single cam but you actually can run vtec or non.. It just needs to be a single....

 

We need the schedule already!!!!!! Can't wait to be competing with you guys in the West Coast events!

 

well thats bending the rules? I don't recall any sohc vtec motors from 88-91' ??

 

Not really.. 88-91 came with "D" series engines. They must stay "D" series...

90-91 tegs didnt come with vtecs either but guys have them in the class... Cause they are still a "B" series

 

but if you add a vtec head, that would be a swap. This seems to be a grey area???.

 

no.
why is there such confusion? this is a class that has existed for years. the rules could be worded a little better for those with reading comprehension problems but afaik a motor swap would be using a motor family that was never offered in a particular chassis.
-Roger

 

I think the class should be a little more strict and precise on the rules.

And it not just "run any B series" since a B20 vtec is a no go allong with K24 RSX's,

In the spirit of keeping the competition close and cost down I would like to see the displacements let OEM, but that would require extra policing ect.

I love the class, I love racing in it, now I just have to find a way to catch up :-/

 

In the US.... Good choice of words Roger my friend...
