You mean B20z or B20b? I have a B20z in my 92 VX and I average about 30 sometimes a little more sometimes a little less, and that is using the AC for a good part of the time too.

Edit: LS Tranny too

I think he meant he has a B20Vtec.
1. Turn off caps
2. Won't be able to get a decent number for MPG since there are too many factors (ie: the driver, traffic, long drives/short drives, tire size, tire pressure, etc etc).

From other threads, that sounds about right. Re-tune it a little less agressively below the VTEC engagement point and drive easy, you should be able to get pretty close to 30mpg around town.

I would laught at him because he is reving on a Honda, I guess he feels inferior to Hondas. I guess that is why you buy a Porshe so you can feel better and to rev on a Honda. lolololol

this is what you do:

rev the **** outta your honda, like really bad, clinch your steering wheel tight and make sure he sees you...concentrate on the light and revup to 5000 rpm and hold it there, then when the light turns,

let the rpms drop off and just drive normal, then, laugh when he does a huge launch for nothing and laugh even harder if a cop flicks on his lights. bahahaaha

thats what i do, since around my area, the street racing laws have been upgraded, if your caught, up to 10 years in jail (if no1 gets injured as a result or your streetracing) the take your car and here's the kicker, WHILE you're at the scene, they call in a backhoe and CRUSH your car infront of you....then take you away

There's been a few people here in CA like Super Trooper who think its funny to smash out and race whenever they can. Because of the deaths related to - both people caught speeding and racing will have their cars immediately turned into boxes (to prove a point) and fined in excess of $599 including possibility of jailtime up to a decade. This is not just limited to racing, but any speed above 85mph now on the CA hwys is considered felony if authorities decide so.

How old are you, 12?

BTW, B20/VTEC is not emissions legal in California.
