New guy just saying hi and help..lol..old dog learning new tricks
First import.A 2000 Civic hatch with a complete SI swap AEM intake and throttle plate -Header-Msd cap and and coil-shprt ram K&N intake-2 1/4 exh with no cat and Magnaflow muffler.
Fresh build J&E forged pistons total seal rings-GSR limited slip trans JASPER rebuild-CST clutch and Flywheel.Oh the engine is aB16A2
Now i know i missed some thing i read this stuff from the receits i got with the car.Car has no AC ,Carbon fiber hood,205/50R15 tires...I am an old american iron kinda guy not used to nothing going on until 5500 rpm and shifting at 8200 is new as well.But the cars very light and clean as a pin so
i figured time to learn a new skill set.
Any advice on what it would take to get it into the high 12's..am i going to have to put a hair dryer onn= it or can these cars do it on motor alone..?
Thanks
Bob

sounds like a nice ride. as for the 12s, it depends on how much funds u workin with. id boost her but it all comes down to funds. all motor is possible.

sounds good post the pics! um N/A is possible but going to take probably twice the funds. some ARP head studs and new gasket adn some boost! and slicks you would be in the 12's.

Re: New guy just saying hi and help..lol..old dog learning new tricks
Well i have built and tuned enough turbo engines i kinda figured that.Balance its all about balance.Not to much squeeze without fuel,ign curve has to be set to back off as boost comes in ,spark plug heat range is important,MSD to make sure everything is firing under the increased chamber pressure,head studs and annealed copper head gasket....
Kinda funny built lots of these engines never had an interest in driving one.
Always thought 'no replacement for displacement ' well at 8-10 mpg a compromise had to be made..lol
Trying to post pics..its a very neat little car.

I would say swap out your bottom end to get you moving off the line instead of waiting for 5grand+, but you're built, itd be a waste.
What are you running now mid 14's?
I'd say some wild cams and ti valvetrain if you want n/a
But i'd turbo if those je's arent too high comp
Ps pics. Pics. Pics
