Total drag
ok here is the question. I am planning a total drag car in my EK. What engine combo to use....CRVTEC or b18c1?? Money is not really a issue, but I already have a b20b and a b16a2 head so leaning that way. This will be totally profesionally built and tuned. This will be turbocharged and hopefully running somewhere close to 550 hp. What do u guys think and what will i have to do?

Re: Total drag (DLB1994)
DLB1994 H23 with a H22 head is good but look at Kubo, Tran, Callos, Rado, etc. who use B series engine. B series engines is just as good as a H series. Plus the H series caple tranny is kinda weak.

Re: Total drag (DLB1994)
L'Natural runs a cable tranny and has had problems with it on his H22 (Honda Tuning current issue) and Steph runs a X-trac tranny that was made for AWD but disabled the rear to keep it FWD. Kubo is the fastest unibody. Steph runs tube frame. Skunk 2 was using a B18 and got into 10's first before they retired that car.

Re: Total drag (Gmedalion)
lisa is not the fastest unibody anymore actually the fastest would be chrstian rado. he ran 8.911 in san antonio event. Not a single unibody car has gone that fast as of yet,. Only difference that makes rado illegal in quick class is that he runs alchohol and alot more boost. The 8.911 pass was on a gary kubo back up b16a motor.

Re: Total drag (bommiE)
For the record...
Chris Rado, is NOT considered a UNIBODY.... he runs in modified/outlaw class. He has a tubed front end. So Lisa Kubo is still the world's fastest unibody!

Re: Total drag (GSRev)
rado car is actually considered a unibody still. It not fully tube frame. Although he runs the outlaw class he is forced to do so due to his method of fuel. They will not allow anyone running alchol to be in the same class as guys running c16 and other types of gas.

Re: Total drag (Gmedalion)
Papadakis doesnt use an XTrac tranny. If he did, the he'd be running 6 speeds of reverse. The Apex'i Drag Integra uses the XTrac setup, but had to modify the motor to spin clockwise to do it.

Re: Total drag (drift)
personally, i say go H22 since it's gonna be an all out drag car. if you still want a B series motor, why do VTEC? you wont need the economy lobes on a VTEC cam anyways. go CRV B20 and mate it up with a Crower stroker kit... you'll retain the 84mm bore, but increase stroke... this should bump you up to about 2.3 litres of displacement, then add turbo. should be similar to an H23 in power due to displacement, altho rod/stroke ratio may prevent insanely high rpm's.

Re: Total drag (drift)
If you've noticed that the engine is longitudinally mounted instead of transversely mounted in Papadakis's new civic coupe, he still retains its front-wheel drive status with a "tee" shaped X-Trac gearbox. This particular gearbox was intended for all-wheel drive applications but Papadakis is not using the rear output, keeping the car front-drive only.
