Hell yeah.

I had to get the header custom fit to my test pipe. Seems like there is a slight exhaust leak or rattle...but other than that the power gain is noticeable.

Also, my timing was off -6 degrees retarded. Turns out I put my B18C1 into my '92 CX...no power steering and no A/C, therefore I was just told today by a friend that it throws your timing off if you drop that engine and don't install the PS and A/C. Hmm...

Well, I'm off to a local import drag tomorrow. Wish me luck. Hopefully I can get a nice run on my 15x8x22's Mickey Thompson slicks. Also, I have GC adj springs with ITR rear LCA's and ITR shocks mounted. Seems to be a nice setup. Should help my launch.

 

Sounds like a nice setup you got there. Have you got any base times on the stock b18 and street tires?? Good Luck using the new slicks

 

Last year I got about 3 runs with my hatch. Here was my setup then...

'92 CX
B18C1
AEM CAI
Thermal (test pipe)
Pirelli P700Z's on '99 Si wheels (heavy)

I ran a 14.6
Keep in mind it's humid here in Omaha and our track is about 1200 ft above sea level. blah blah...excuses. LOL!

 

Any other B18C1 hybrids here (minus A/C and Power Steering) run into the same situation with the timing being off?

 

Well I'm about to drop one into my crx this sunday(if all goes well), with no p/s or a/c, so now this will give me something to lookout for.

 

Cool, let me know if you would. I'm curious.

 

i dropped a b18c into my eg without a/c and the timing has been screwy ever since, my friend with a dx and keeping both, never had any timing issues, wierd.

oh well good luck at the track, lets see you break into the high 13's

 

Whoa damn, timing being messed up because of removal of AC? What does it involve getting the timing back to normal? Looks like I'll be needing a stupid DelSol bracket.

 

would the timing thing also apply to b16 without a/c or p/s just a unorthodox single belt race pulley
