hi guys

i just picked up a 95 si hb and was wondering how hard is it to make this car run in the 14s with a sohc?

thanks

links would be help...

skip.two

depends how much you're willing to spend. its not too hard.

Forced Induction is the easiest way.

im assuming this is vtec...that would be a good choice also

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=693678do that if you have a hatch or what not....i/h/e is always good..and build the internals it wouldnt be hard to run in 14s with just that.....building internals is kinda pricey tho but so is FI, then when all that is done go Fi and then i would guess youd be in low 13s

*edit* ok now i read better...it is vtec and hatch, so my bad

What does having a powerplant with VTEC have to do with using FI? I have a non-VTEC hatch and boost it to high 13s all day long.

strip your car. replace some parts with lightweight units, add some bolt-ons and get traction when you launch. it shouldnt be that hard to hit 14s.

turbo would be an easy way to hit 14s too.

well i said it was good...of course its not nessecary, but i also mentioned built internals, i doubt (correct me if im wrong) your boosting a d-series to 13s with stock internals

You CAN boost a D-series with stock internals and run 13s.

how about just bolt-ons and some internals?

You can, do it but not all day long... lol, maybe all morning, but then uh, your walkin home

im boostin 10psi on a stock dx for 3 months now, im sure thats gonna get me 13s

u can also throw a 50 shot to get u into 14s if u can drive

Wrong wrong wrong &lt;bashes face on desk&gt;.

I've been boosting about 9 psi daily for the last couple of years on a bone stock D16Y7 with about 120k on it. I've yet to have anything major fail on me that was anywhere near turbo related.

EDIT: The only time my car has EVER left me stranded was when I managed to break an oil pressure sensor changing my oil and it stayed together for a day or so before the idiot light came on and scared me shitless.

Ain't that the truth. Those idiot lights are the worst....hense the name idiot light. They really should change the sensors on those things.

Back on topic, It would be REALLY hard to run anything below a 14 with bolt-ons and a few internals. D series engines are not the best all motor engines. Although they aren't meant to be modified at all you will have much more success doing some sort of forced induction.

Btw: interesting new avatar Ricey, got a bigger picture of it? I can't make out the words on it.

K so theres alot I don't know about these cars yet. my friend has a 98 EX w/lots and lots of upgrades including a blockgirdle forged internals. Runs 12psi and can run more, but cannot catch a stock camaro that runs low 15's up here at 5000ft asl.

Your running 10psi on a stock motor and you think thats good for 13's? Im missing something here.

You answered your own question. That 5000 ft makes a big difference. I don't know the exact numbers but, you could take a 13 second honda at sea level, run it at 5,000 ft and it will be slower than 13 seconds. The air pressure is a big part in the engine.

For sure, its an average of 1sec at 5000 feet. But thats still like a 14 which up here is farking fast as hell. C5's run 14.1-14.3 here.

We just got 450cc injectors for this guys turbo'ed ex and it hasn't been on a dyno. Its more than likely running really rich so maybe when we get it leaned out it will run faster.

Yea, altitude is a huge thing, but doesn't affect turbo cars as much. I ran a 14.4 at 99 mph with a blown headgasket and no launch in my '89 dx at PMI (4900ft above sea level) last spring - boosted sohc non-vtec.

That is seriously smokin fast for any car let alone as small as the engines are in these !

And to the person who started this thread Turbo's are the way to go but it will cost time and money but as you can see , the results are there.

Call up Paul Walker and have him get you like a 1,000 shot of NNNAAWWWSSSS.

ive seen basically stock gsr swaps in hatches go low 14s easy...and 10psi on a sohc is gonna put down more power than a stock gsr. so like i said, if u know how to drive the car and get traction, 14s on an all motor sohc vtec shouldnt take too much. i/h/e, clutch, flywheel, good tires and good driver can get it there i think.

good quality i/h can cost u over 500 bucks and will most likely get u less than 10 whp. 50 shot will cost less than 500 and give u 50hp. a turbo kit can run 1000 and up but theres no limits on power really. 7psi should get u over 50whp

I would have to agree with you. Believe it or not. My friend has a d16y8 with arp head studs and a 3mm headgasket. He runs 25 psi all day long. Im telling you he's gonna blow it up. He has been running it for a year now and nothing wrong yet. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh this is in a crx by the way

wifesaynogo

25 psi..sounds like bs...what kind of turbo
