I just took my 94 integra with a b16 to the track and raced against a 91 integra rs with must of the same mods and got hurt. My best was a 10.19 in the 1/8mile and he got a 10.09, how is this car beating me its a 1.8l non vtec. Is my car in need of some rings. It doesnt smoke and seems fast but idk i should be able to waste that car in my eyes.

 

becuase he is a better driver than you.

 

have u tuned your car for max performance after your mods. That could be one reason. He may have is tuned. It can also be a driver thing. what are the reaction times?

 

it might be you have a 1.6 liter with no torque in your heavy-*** car.

thats the reason...i think ppl should be slapped for putting a b16 into an integra...

 

Did you think the B16 was fast?

Ouch to your dignity...

I would feel awful if i posted that and got those replies ..

Glad it's not me who is a poopy driver!

 

ha...poop....hehehe

 

<U>"how is this car beating me its a 1.8l non vtec.</U>
wow .. ur really looking down on a 1.8l non vtec .. u act like a b16a is suppose to perform a lot better than a b18b stock for stock ... plus the b18b has a full .2 liters more than you ... b16a is a koo engine with plenty potential but imo, it s never meant to be put in a heavy chassis like integras

hes not looking down on the 1.8l non vtec... hes right, his car should (with similar mods) be a bit quicker than the RS. but, there are obviously different variables... he could suck at driving, and that b16 should stay in the civic (although, he probably got a good deal on a replacement engine).

no his car should not be quicker....think about what youre saying...the 99-00 si runs LS integra times...with SHORTER gearing and a LIGHTER CHASIS....whats that telling you??...too many simpletons ignoring the effects of torque on a car....OMG DUDE BUT ITS GOT 160 HP PLUS VTEC...but makes like 100 wtq

food for thought: give the ls integra and the civic si equal gearing...watch the civic fade away into nothingness...

 

even the 91 rs integra? 91 and 94+ b18b's are the same engine? not being a dick, just wondering...

 

its a b18a...claims a lil less hp (insignificant amount) than the b18b...but the DA is also lighter than the DC...so they end up with same quarter miles anyway

 

so, what do you guys think about a b16a in a DA??

still a low/mid 15 second car if its stock or just with bolt ons....unless the driver is getting traction and launches good!

edited for more accuracy

 

a b16 is alrady torqueless and is weak.. it shouldnt be in a DC.. its just too heavy for a light motor. that is why u lost to the RS.

 

Well, I was just wondering because I might be purchasing a DA, with this motor set-up. Any input would be grateful as long you can give me some info on why it is/isn't good.

90-91 b18a- 130 hp
92-93 b18a- 140 hp
94-up b18b- 142 hp

 

DA's with b16s are worthless, if the stock motor runs fine turbo that ish and smoke type-R's all day

 

but if the DA already has a b16 swap, go for it you will like the high rpm's, then you can put type-R IM and TB on it for some gains

 

yeah, it is already coming with that swap.

You know if there is a test/opinions on which manifold is better?

the type r manifold vs the skunk2 manifold

 

Since its coming with that swap, why not just get you an ls block and go ls/vtec? you should be able to find one for dirt cheap and youll be ripping.. p.s b18a and b18b blocks are the same so it shouldnt matter which one you use..

Thanks for the advice. I will check it out.
