just want to know whayour hybrid rex's are putting down.........i havent seen to many fast ones...they all seem to run like a low 14

 

14.2 on my old Turbo d16a6 @ 4 psi

 

low 14 is not bad!

 

low 14's is pretty standard for just a fairly basic swap.
there is this guy local that HAD a b16 built for nos with a 250 shot that runs a 12.01
so pretty much and 11 with the right driver or even new spark pugs and 5w oil.
oh and also its a 4door civic. now he has a turbo gsr and runs good 11's.
thats a fast import.

derek

 

wait so a b16a1 swap will drop you into the low 14's stock?

 

15.2 w/ GSR cams and vtec controller. with bald street tires and major wheel hop. oh and that was in AZ. would easily hit 14s in cali.

 

Stock 150bhp b16a1 CRX SiR does 15,56s and that's a 2245lbs car

 

your b16 rex should be putting you in the 14-5 to 14-8 with good driver.
Mine is fast but it cant keep up with my lude on the highway, but off the line the rex gets it, Cuz of weight advantage!!!

 

Low 14's from just a basic 1st-gen B16A swap?

Nope.

I'm sure there may be exceptions to the rule, but in most cases it's mid-to-high 14's and LOW 15's too.

The quickest one I've seen in my area ran a 14.7. It's a 1st-gen B16A in a 1989 CR-X Si. Car had just normal bolt-ons. Oh it also had a J1 tranny with a Kaaz LSD in it - so it was the best possible geared tranny (same as JDM S1 also) so the formula was good for the 1/4 mile. This was on street tires and little to none weight reduction.

I'm not saying 14.7 is the best time you can expect, but blurting out "low 14's easy" is just not realistic. You would have to do more to net low 14's on street tires especially.

 

yeah 14.8 at 94 here with a 2.3 60 foot...
i/h/e and clutch..in a 91 hatch...

 

My brother pulled a 14.8 last year with stock exhaust, stock cams, stock exhaust manifold, stock intake. It had stripped interior and no passenger seat. That's it. Oh it had plug wires... like those do much.

 

So far, my best is a 15.466...This was on 17's though with a whole mess of problems (timing out, valves needing to be adjusted, and stock b16a). I am going back this week expecting high 14's...I'm not the BEST driver in the world, so that's not helping my times any. I like my enigne, it just needs some more torque and I would be really happy.

The guy I was talking about pulled consistent 15.1 on his old all-motor D16A6. He lives 30 minutes from a strip and is an excellent driver.

I still say low 14's on a stock B16A swap is far-fetched unless you have some MAJOR weight redux and slicks in effect.

 

Just get LSD and strip rear interior... all there is too it.

 

Oh yeah and 14 seconds in a CRX/Civic hatch is damn fast. Youll never hit low14's unless you have forced induction or internal work etc. Mine old one was ported/polished/shaved and Truboed and I cant get into 13's

BNut the previous owner had no fuel managment so she went booooom!! hehe now im building another one

 

I went 14.72 in a full interior civic si with a b16a with y1 tranny. With just an intake and exhaust. I wish I would of did more to it. Now it's gone. And it's time for me to boost the hell out of this built b18a I have.

 

Yeah boost is fun on my old d16a6 the previous owner put 3" Boost piping thinking it would be better for some dumb reason. So you got a wholee lot of lkagggggg. Kinda like VTEC kicking in no wait thats the turbo !!

hehe

 

was this that one light blue 4-door? he ran an 11.7 or something at pacific raceway in aug 2000... got his *** on video

 

IN my town theres a blue civic EF hatch an 90 i believe. His name is jeff. He runs low 11's and hits 10's sometimes. He has stripped interior and a CRVTEC Turbo under the hood rolling on 17" rims that only weight 12 lbs. Rims alone are worth 4000 hehe

 

Not a CRX but I do have a b16 in my 4dr. Best time was a 14.92@92mph Here is my setup:

B16
S1 trans
PR3 ecu
Iceman intake
Thermal R&D exhaust
Clutchmasters Stage 1 clutch
Yokohama tires

 

best to date 15.1@91mph. full interior, intake & exhaust.

 

I ran a 14.5 yesturday at 96mph with air filter headers exhaust and cam gears

 

13.9 @ 98mph on street tires.

 

ya thats what it should be. you all racing w/ subs in or something? i dont understand the mid 14 - low 15 w/ b16a. ive seen lightly modded d16a6's pull 14.7s all day long, no fi, street tires and back seats out. all plastic crap was still in.

 

Lightly modded d16a6's pull 14.7's? Give me a break man that is major bullshit
