1. you know absolutely nothing about what your attempting to talk about

2. your transmission is not geared for acceleration, that is your main downfall

3. your other downfall is that you have an economy motor which was never intended to be raced

have a good day

Must be some jank B16s you're running, or not really running B16s!

The D Series trannys suck *** all motor. 3rd is the big killer.

Your car is not fast.

let't get some more info here before we get into anything worthwhile...

what do you mean by "modded"? and are you sure you know what the difference between top-end power and low-end power are?

First off, your POS D15b7 couldn't keep up with a B16 with a blown headgasket. I'm not sure who to slap in the face first - you for claiming you can keep up with a B16, or them for (if they own a B16) losing to a stock *** B7.

The trans is geared for economy, not racing.

Intake/header/exhaust is NOT mildly modded, that's just standard.

You got two ways to push power out of that motor, VTEC Mini-me swap, and a '92-'95 EX/Si (Z6) transmission.

Do both of those and it'll be snappier, but you still won't be hanging with "real" B16's.


PS:
The bolded part is the important part. As bench racing isn't allowed I'm reporting.

The only thing you can do aside from turbocharging that's actually worth it on that motor is to go w/ an EX/Si trans and go with a mini-me head swap.

EDIT:
Oh yeah, the B7 puts out like 100hp at the fly...that's like 70hp at the wheels. Stop acting like ur B7's hot **** b4 I come out there and rail you with my bone stock daily driver w/ 210k TERCEL with NO TACH !

Seriously, it's people with B7's acting like they're hot **** that give bad names to Honda owners. You're B7's a piece of ****, and you just have to accept that.

Trans swap/mini-me swap and you're set for that motor, you can keep up with a Z6, then. Well, almost.

Secondary PS:
SEARCH

You're not the first ricer to come in here asking how to make their stock B7 faster.

I'd love to do that so I could sue you for assault.

(Another ****-talking H-T member).

If he's not breaking the speed limit than the only thing he's doing is making too much noise - and that's only if he has an aftermarket exhaust. Other than that there's nothing illegal about it as long as he doesn't break 25, it's not even considered reckless driving. You should keep a better eye on your daughter.

x2 for useless, ****-talking H-T member.
