well im the local honda guru around here. i dont have any experience w/B16s in REXs. well a kid got a B16 put into his REX and brought it to me for check engine light. well i fixed the problem (speedo cable) wasnt turning the speedometer. anyways we went out to run my car VS his. he didnt drive, his friend drove, first run he burned off and i was gone. second run was a decent start for both of us, mine bogged a bit. he won by REX and a 1/2. but the ?s i have for u REX guys is whats ur take on B16s in REXs. my car is an EX w/B16 (basically 00SI) and bolt ons. same motor, same HP, alot less weight (its an HF roughly 400lbs), he should have pulled away from me. give me some insight guys, this thing was very unimpressive.

 

Well if that list of parts is what you have on/in your motor, I'd say that you should have beaten him, regardless of what the B16 is in. But if you only have bolt-ons, it may be due to driver skill or perhaps the other guys motor isn't up to par.

 

if u look closely at my sig it shows that those mods r goin into or on the GSR motor thats goin into my hatch. my coupe is basically a 99-00 SI w/ bolt ons and R cams.

 

i have a 90 civic si w/ i/h/e gude head, cam, ecu, and underdrive.
i can beat the new si's w/ bolt-ons but ive never raced b16 powered rex

i would think that a b16 powered rex would be able to beat a new si as well unless the engine is running poorly

 

Yes, B16 crx's can beet 99-00 Si's, even if it had bolt ons. But it does also depend on driver skill.

B16 hatch and B16 crx, are neck and neck, its all about driver skill on these also.

 

my sig says it all

 

dont sugar coat your **** talking with a seeminly innocent question. his b16 is at least 11 years old and i am sure ur bolt on's (including cams) prolly got you abpot 10-15 hp, and we all know that tha is a HUGE amount in a honda. haha, i can GUARANTEE you that if you take a good driver in a crx with a b16 in good working order and he will **** a heacy *** coupe. if i had raced you with my old motor i would have considered it a personal loss if i hand't yanked you by at least 3 cars in the quarter mile. my mods... i/e and some gsr cams....[

umm....... I raced my Buddies 01 Mustang GT (runs a 14.6 1/4 mile) and had him by about 3 cars up to 90mph.....

89 CRX Si
B16
Bolt ons and stuff.......

Last time I ran @ the track, 15.2 @ 96 shifting @ 7k.... so we'll see, now that the bitch is running better. (just gotta replace both wheel bearings now haha)

 

werd

 

thats my point dipshit. my heavy *** car against a light *** HF both w/B16s, i know he should have walked away. he only got me off the line after that he couldnt gain any ground. i can also turn this around, if i would have had my old setup, i would have handed his *** to him by at least 3 car lengths. i drove the ****** car, its not fast at all. im goin to adjust the timing on it and look it over. it runs good, looks decent but the thing is not impressive. i was wondering if it possibly was a automatic (less agressive cams) cause when VTEC kicks in, its quiet, he does have an intake but its nothin like my car.

 

Did the kid change his exhaust? I used to have a '90ex w/b16 running 15.9
I then put the b16 into an '89 crx, and I was running 15.4, but at pretty much the same mph. So it didn't seem faster at all.

I then got a decent custom 2.25in exhaust, and dropped down to 15.0 and gained like 2mph.

I then started putting 94 octane into the thing (instead of 93), and dropped to 14.7 and another 1 or 2 mph. That's when I was more or less satisfied.

These are some variables you might want to look at.

 

if by some chance he got the automatic longblock then his intake cam has a smaller profile and therefore he has 5 less hp.

 

didnt i just say that it could b a automatic block with less aggressive cam??? echo.
didnt i also say he had bolt ons??? come on guys, u gotta have more info than that for me. any other guesses?

 

shut the **** up, u said maybe he had an automatic block and i replied with the details. maybe his cat is clogged, i dunno and i dont care. you are the honda "guru" so why don't you figure it out moron.

 

baaaaaaaaaaaaahahaahaahaahahha

 

Someone Give RexB16 over there a round of applause !!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAhHAhAHHAHAhAhAHHA

 

let me think again. seems that i already had mentioned the possibility of an auto block and the lack of the more "aggressive" cam. is someone trying to take credit for what i said??? yeah, possibly, no definitely. let me think once more. hmmm, his VTEC wasnt working b4 we raced. never done a B16 swap in a REX b4.....i wonder what could the problem b. one wild guess and it was fixed. damn im good. to each their own. still a slow *** car for being around 2000lbs.

 

how ******* dense are you? i already told you i was just reiterating what you said. damn son, you need to pay attention to details, i sure as hell would not want you working on my car.

 

LOL

 

hahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaha.
You guys are harsh to the "guru" dude. I dont think he understands the concept of power to weight or aerodynamics involved. A 99-00 civic si w/bolt-ons vs. 88-91 rex(hf,dx,si)would result in the loss of any and all bragging rights the 99-00 civic should have had if he would have raced a metro insted and one. I dont care if the motor is new or 11 years old the rex will walk on 99-00si civics.Mine kills typr -r tegs by 3 cars and I only have a couple internal goodies.Dont be a ricer be a racer accept your losses cause we all lose sometime.Pick the chip up and place it back on your shoulder every time someone knocks it off and eventually youll win.
If your going to be a "guru" learn with your hands by doing and not be one of those "I can quote everything I saw on the internet so I am a Honda god guru" because doing does more than saying,anyone can learn the lingo.

 

thats exactly what i said in my first post. i dont care that i lost, ive lost b4. my point was that the REX should have been alot faster than it was. even with a 5hp loss IF it was formerly a auto block, that thing should have walked away badly.
approx 2000lb car w/same motor VS my 2600+lb car. shouldnt have been that close.
i do ALLl my own work on my car. i dunno if yankin the motor out 3 difference times counts as anything. unlike 92-95 civics that just unplug a 96+ civic u have to undo the whole wiring harness b4 the motor comes out. on my 92 i had the motor out in under 2hrs by myself no help. my credibility is more than there. i know i dont know EVERYTHING, but i know enough to fix a REXs B16 woes w/o ever touching a REX in my life. like i said, that thing should have handed my *** to me and it didnt. i wasnt impressed so thats y i turned to u guys for some guestimates.

 

if your a guru for yanking out a motor three times and working on your own car then i must be " Honda God "

 

no wonder u trolls have ur own little corner. i wasnt just talkin about yankin my motor. ive done internals too. head swaps etc.

 

Here you try to brag about how hard it is to yank a motor by undoing the harness... I think thats the case with most cars when you yank the motor moron, and now your trying to say how you do internal works? From an idiotic statement to a more technical statement of internal works to justify your " guru " status? Then call me " Honda God "
We're the trolls and your trying to justify a guy who cant drive a B16 Powered HF the right way... He still spanked your monkey *** so live with it and move on
