Hello everyone.
I am new here. My name is Josh. I was wondering about basic performance on my civic, as nobody i know can give me a straight answer. I own a D15B7 with 102hp and 98 lb/ft of torque. It has a 4-speed auto. It is a 1993 civic LX sedan (EG8)? with 177600 miles. The only modification is a K&N air filter. What is the 0-60 time? I know it's slow so don't rip on me too hard!
What is the quarter time? I saw somewhere a manual one of these ran 0-60 in 9.4 with 17 sec runs @ 82 mph. How much slower is an auto? my 97 contour was tested by car and driver and it ran 11.9 seconds with a 18.9 sec quarter, but my D15B7 feels a lot faster, despite being older and having 177k vs. 47k miles. Can my auto civic run at least sub-18 seconds in the quarter and sub-11 seconds to 60? Also, what is the top speed on a D15B7 stock? can it do 125 like a D16Z6? Or will it only run to 90 mph?
Thank you.

D15B7 = SLOW
D15B7 w/Slushbox = SLOWER

Don't try to top out. Don't try and race. Your vehicle is a grocery getter, just like mine. Drive it that way.

 

Hmm I have a similar car but mines a 2 door and has the 4 speed auto and has no engine mods at all. (I doubt your K&N will help alot anyway). I can beat 5 speed kia rio and hyuandai accents and other slow 18+ second cars. My car weighs a lil less than yours though so Id asume your is about the same slowness. I like my car as it rides smooth cause its not lowered much and the auto makes good daily driver for me. Id say if you want power swap a ex/si 5 speed in and turbo it. IMO its a waste of money slapping bolt ons on a sohc ie headers& intake cause youll probably get tired of the d15b7 and want a b series which yoru d series header wouldnt work on and or turbo a sohc and the intake and header wouldnt work. Manual swap is easy and if your lazy just slap a turbo on it with the auto and wait for the auto to die then swap to manual. Id bet a d15b7 with ex/si trans and turbo would beat most stock b series swaped civics

 

I know it's slow.
I was just wondering if it faster than 18.9@74 and if it tops out above 110 mph. I'm not looking to swap or beat any other Hondas. I just want some raw stats cos I can't find anything on stock atx D15B7. I know everyone says search the site and the internet but I haven't found hard data for the atx D15B7.

thanks anyway,

PS THE SEDANS WEIGH LESS THAN COUPES BUT MORE THAN HATCHES. I think!

 

man, if i were you just save up for a tranny si/ex. Just that tranny swap will do a whole lot more than anything you bolt on. I've seen si/ex go for about $150. my advise to you change the tranny out.

 

my first hatch was auto witha d15b7, wow was it a pos. if I was going up a hill, big 18 wheelers would pass me, and I'd be flooring it !!

you can't even compare it my new 5speed now, same engine .. but wow
feels like it's seriously twice as fast. it's all about the tranny

the honda auto tranny is ******* shitty. 0 acceleration.

I didn't even want to think about making it fast. didn't buy 1 upgrade (except for a short ram intake)

I had to sell it to get a 5 speed. and i love my new car so much. driving a 5 speed puts you total control of your car
