my friend has a 89 Si crx, with a 1st gen jdm b16. running about 12lb flywheel, regular tranny, axels. dc sports header. msd 8.5mm plug wires. denso plugs, cheap intake ( non-CAI) and a nice thermal cat-back exhaust. also has a apex-i vtec controller, and breather filters on the intake and valve cover where the stupid line used to be. he is running a stage 2 excedy clutch, and 205/40/zr17, lowered with prokit springs. what times should he be getting in the 8th mile?

and what would you all recomend him setting his vtec in/out and fuel ratio at in the vtec controller to get best runs? it seems to be running slow and so i was wondering what might be the problem?

thanks for the help.

 

nobody has any ideas how fast this should be. maybe a comparison to how fast it should be against my sohc vtec? we just want to know why it isnt fast? after all that money and work..... doesn't feel as fast as it should be?

 

The guy who originally swapped the B16 into my car ran it against his GTechPro. He only did 0-60 run but got 5.9sec. Not bad I'd say!

 

Okay now I'll admit this is getting out of hand.

FYI-We have a thing called a search ifyour new check it out and type in the general subject and youll get pages of already posted info on the same ? you asked.

I mean seriously this ? has been asked a thousand times.

and those breather filters arent doing anything but making a noise under his hood, he better be changing those out like everytime he does a oil change becuase those vaccum lines on your valve cover to intake pipe are there for a reason to give your engine circulation. Those filters can clog alot up, ive heard alot of bad **** about them.

ok, sorry...keep that in mind....

 

the search thing sux and so what if its been asked alot thats what this board if for if you dont like find another one!

 

ok, well bud since i have been tring to search for b16 times. recent and old. only thing coming up is **** about enough b16 times, what about zc, and one post of b16 times, on stock engines, and 1/4 miles. i need a time for a slightly moded b16 in the 8th mile.

you wanna complain about bogus posts, take care of the idiot "neospite" making that post

" . " and doesn't say anything but " . " inside of it?

Im referring to the fact that I got biatched at for asking the same ? before and so from then on I used the post, it does work good, you have to be blunt about the question. Just keep trying.

And I dont think I need to find another forum to talk on im on about 5 others and I use the search on all of them.

A b16a 1/4 and 1/8 time is prob. the most often asked ? on this site and the fact that he is farely new he prob. didnt know about hte search, so I let him know about it in the nicest fashion I could, and If you read right youll see he thanked me and is going to keep that in mind. happy now?
