How come my car isn't fast enough!?
Hi, i want to know how come my civic isn't fast enough
I have a 93 EG cx hatch with B16A swap and raced with my friend's S2000 But i lost quite badly. And this is a rolling start. I won the first 2 gears, until when i got to 3rd, he suddenly pull away from me. I don't know why, but how come my car is so much slower!?? S2000 mods: AEM CAI Spoon throttle body Spoon N1 cat back My civic is a EG CX hatch B16A swap GSR tranny Spoon flywheel Centerforce clutch Crower titian valve springs and retainer Type R cams 11.2 compression ratio type R head gasket type R spark plug NGK spark plug wires CAI UR crank pully port and polish blue print and balance stright pipe ITR b pipe stock header and cx muffler but even so, how come he pulled so much on me!? Is it because my GSR tranny gearing is too long? We did this from rolling start. Like i said again, at first i pulled on him, then he pulled 2 cars on me immediately at 3rd. Plz tell me what could be the possible problem. [Modified by EG Hatch, 1:18 AM 3/20/2003] |

u are right man. His 3rd gear was pretty fuckin fast!!!!!!!
is like, i pulled on him first 2 gears thinking i m going to win then my friend just flew by me after at 3rd and is like iwas sitting there damn it!!!!! also i m using stock 14 inch rims which = shitty tires = shitty traction whenever i go vtec in first i will spin the tires a little in second. Just very little. |

no man, he was in redline all the way every gear man!!
my friend was also in his car too. He isn't squeezing on me. |

your car probably worth 12,000 his about 30,000... he better win!

Possible that the taller gearing on the GSR tranny is hurting you.
Get a Type R tranny w/ LSD https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif |
Re: How come my car isn't fast enough!? (civicscantdrift)
yeah thats what i was thinking
do u think if i put in the Type R or SIR tranny, DC JDM 4-1 header and type R muffler should help a bit? Cuz i have a type R muffler sitting aside but havn't install yet that way, installing the 3 things, we should have a much closer race? |
Re: How come my car isn't fast enough!? (civicscantdrift)
Lets see.....B16A hp at crank is 160-170. F20 hp at crank is 240-250.
That S2K, if it were stock, and your motor with its mods, will still beat you. Got a dyno chart? I'm guessing 190-210 hp at your crank with your mods. The S2K is probably sittin' at 255-260 hp. You still think you should win? The only thing you got on him is weight. Driver skills are a must too. I've beaten many DOHC's with my SOHC. My last victory was over a EH w/ a B18A. Both of us were stock....driver skills won. I'm not trying to be mean or make an enemy, just my points of view. I really want to see a dyno chart. With all your hard work (money into your car) I'd like to see the exact hp at your crank and the wheels. [Modified by D16Z6racing, 3:08 AM 3/20/2003] |

You have a decent setup. You are using the stock b16 header? With your setup I'm shocked you're using the stock CX muffler.. Ditch that muffler too. That thing can't shoot a pea through it.. Are you surprised you lost to an S2k. I'm sure he probably has at least 10wph if not more from his mods. Don't be discouraged..

Re: How come my car isn't fast enough!? (civicvteckid)
hondas are slow...lol
b16=160 hp 111 tq s2000= 240 hp 160 tq still wonder why? |
Re: How come my car isn't fast enough!? (EG Hatch)
Get rid of the ITR cams, throw in some wilder cams, get rid of the stock CX muffler, run it open header, and tune it. Then it should be fun.
