Im just curious what times anyone did with a b18b dropped in a ek hb? Or kills?

ransack

baahh humbug!

I'll be nice first. From what I've seen, you can pull a 15.3-15.5 on it. That was with crappy tires. But those times were from a good driver.

Who knows how well YOU drive. In said of asking, go out run it yourself. That way you wont be disappointed when you run 16.1 and think you should be hitting 15.3

Cant run it yet til its in but Im trying to decide if im gonna keep it.

ErikDaGenErik

keep it. get a skunk2 manifold and some cams to make up for the top end. i love the b18b low end compared to my b18c.

97hb

15.6 with 2.3 60'. Only intake and muffler, rest is stock.

kholmes

I will prob keep it. Did you notice a big diff with the cams and im?

ErikDaGenErik

yes. cams make a big difference. but he also upgraded his valvetrain (springs/retainers) along with tuning.

a b18b with a b16 transmission is a very nice setup.

it takes advantage of the low end of the b18b and the shorter gears bring the motor to life. with a good head setup the b18b can be a great first step in a pretty quick allmotor honda.

also the b18b is an awesome candidate for boost.

ErikDaGenErik

b16 tranny is not the best thing for b18b. first of all on the freeway you'll be revving high just to go 70-75. I know because my friend has a b18b with a gsr tranny in his 4dr civic. another friend that I know actually did time comparisons and found out that you only gain .1-.2 seconds off your quarter mile with the shorter gears. lets remember that Honda put the LS tranny with the LS motor for no reason when the b16 would be better. LS makes better power end, which is why it is better to have longer gearing. The DOHC VTECs have weak low end and need to just to the top end to get power, thats why shorter gears are there. The only tranny i would recommend is the ITR tranny because it has LSD. Its well worth the money.

b20ek

ITR trannies are short geared like a b16. And if your gonna run cams on a nonvtec then your powerband moves up in the higher rpm's depending on the cams you have. 404's pull till 9,000 rpm's.

ErikDaGenErik

Yea, I was speaking assuming the LS motor was going to remain stock. But even with cams making your powerband stronger at the top, you're still going to be revving pretty high just to cruise on the freeway. I'll ask my friend next time he goes online what exact rpm he's at @65mph. BTW, I don't know too many people that rev to 9000rpm with a nonvtec LS, idealy, you want high compression pistons and some engine work to go that high.

Bout to drop the motor in, what did you guys do to fit the ac in? Im told that the pump needs to be changed and the bracket. What did you guys do with the eks???

A b18b w/dc 4-2-1 header & a short ram aem intake in an ek9 with gsr wheels & street tires will run a 15.8-15.9 w/ a .5 reaction time

Oh btw.. thats with a 150 pound stereo & heavy *** gsr wheels.
so.. lets say 15.6

SleepyEG

150lb stereo? You using lead speakers?

kholmes

come on guys, more info, Sat is the deadline to send money out!!!!

I could've hit 14's but only got 2 runs in...
My setup:
95 dx hatch
96 LS motor/LS tranny
usdm itr header
2.25" test pipe
2.25" SS custom exhaust
aem cai
act hdss clutch
15x7 wheels on 195/50 yokohama's
full interior and koni yellow full coilovers.

And the tranny does have long gears..If I could rev to atleast 7200-7400 I could finish the 1/4 in 3rd gear....I'm just shifting into 4th when I cross the 1/4 mile mark
