Default Swap Question...

I'm thinking about swapping in a B16 motor and tranny into my car, i'll use the same AEM CAI and catback exhaust that i have on my car now on the swap. Probably have an LSD as well.

Anyways my question is, is it possible to hit a high 14 with the swap with i/e, good tires Yokohama Avid's 195/55/14 and the LSD? Everything else bone stock. My car is a 95 4 door EX dropped with Eibach Sportlines, removed spare and jack

14's might be a little over achieving. B16's are torqueless wonders. Maybe in a lighter car.

Still think your a little to heavy.If you really want to race than invest in a 1st gen rex or a 5th gen hatch vx or cx and swap in a b series.The combinations you mention are nice and will rip it up around town but at a track you gotta get serious if you want to play the game for real.Personally I don't go to the track cuz we ain't got one close but if I did I would probably be bored by the 200 15-17 sec. cars that you get see.

Get a clutch.... something simple like an ACT HD w/ a 6 puck disk would be perfect.... then get some MT 20x6x14 slicks and mount them on HX wheels or any other 14's you have... You should be able to get mid to high 14's with that.... Peace
