I probaly going to aquire a 98 dx here real soon and might drop a civic type r engine in it, im just wondering what kinda times i'll be seeing? any info appriciated

 

mid to high 13's on street tires and high 12's - 13.00 slicks. depends on driver, clutch, tuning, etc......

 

im just wondering where you got mid to high 13,s,sport compact car tested one a while ago and said it was a little slower then an itr and it runs 0-60 in 7.0 seconds,im just wondering how you came up with that cause maybe ill get a civiv type r engine instead of an h22

 

No way on this green earth is an EK with just a B16B going to do anywhere near a 13. Much less a 12.

 

Very possible if dyno tuned and running in a 2000 lb. car!!!!You all are forgetting the weight factor on this. 175 whp (net) will get you 12's in a 2000 lb. car, so mid to high 13's not impossible but you gotta spank that bi---...

 

yeah, around 14.7-8 or so. Torque is crucial. Anyways, CTRs are meant for road, not drag.

 

CTR is high 14 second car ....on the best motoring videos CTR pulled few 14.8/15.0/15.1/ passes, thats in JDM land where its higher above the sea level...maybe a mid-14 sec is possible.....with bolt ons definatly (JDM 4-1 header, AEM, exhaust...)

the motor pulls 153-158 whp.....and about 105-8lb/ft of torque (thats to the wheels)...in a 96+ h-back this combo witthout the driver will weight about 2300-2400 add about 170 for average driver.....so noway you can do 13's or even low 14's.....

also since the price is the same as for ITR b18c motor, i recommend that....forget about being cool and braging about CTRs....unless you want to get a GSR/ITR crank and rods....then it would be cool, then you can claim its a 1.6l....

but the power which is made by a b16b is the same as my b16a with only header, exhaust, drop in filter and mugen chipped ecu....the rest is stock....

i'm reading these posts too fast.......i thought it said type r motor, not ctr.

 

what I meant was building a b16a into a ctr (sorry) so I did not intend to spend a lot of money on the engine ($3500?) not 6-7 g's Plus it helps that i am part owner of a tuner shop and we have been looking into different places to get motors.

 

even so...I'd only think mid to low 14s on street tires.
