ait guys, stock 98 civic ex with only intake and really slow. i now i just came from a b16 integra but man im gettin impatient. what do you think i should upgrade frist in the mean time until i get my degree in a year. any help would be great

 

boost. A all motor D is useless.

 

you drive a honda, there's no such thing as torque; and if there was, then you'd need some more traction to go with it. what's your budget? what goals? your best bet is probably to save until you get your b series.

 

even my b16a is torqueless

 

youre driving the wrong car if youre looking for torque

 

Boost your motor!

 

so how much torque did the b16 have?

maybe you could just deal with it for a year instead of flooring it everywhere

 

something like 111ft/lbs of torque, no much more than a d16 motor

 

turbo,hondas dont show the numbers on the dyno for torque,but when they are boosted u get that torque feeling.

 

Drop in a 383...

...or boost your engine... or run a nice shot of nitrous.

 

a 383, really, how feasible is that for a regular person? lol, anyways, boost ftw

Um! Um! Um! My camera broke! Yeah... we'll go with that....

 

i plan on turbo when i get my degree. but as for money i dont have much but i will save up no matter what. i just need something to give me a little more than stock

 

dont waist your money, trying to get more then stock isnt worth the money unless your definiton of more then stock is a turbo or a B series.... with a turbo

Are you kidding me? Tools don't belong here. How can you possibly say that?


Boost it man, and save your money at this point.

No, not kidding. How can I say that? I own two Hondas, and hang out with plenty of other Honda drivers.

Agree'd

 

turbo b20, if b20 swaps are legal where you are. i hear they aren't in california.

tons of people will say this is a bad idea and it'll blow the motor up. but most of them just heard that from some other guy who heard it from the guy who can't build strong motors. and if you still don't like that do an LS turbo. this is where the torque is.

or in and F2D set up. those are relatively cheap and if you do your research and pay attention it's not all that hard either.

you're right to want torque though. you know what they say, "torque wins races."

 

That's because a b20 is from a HONDA CRV, which falls under the category of a light truck. YOu can't legally swap a motor from a truck into a sport compact car in Cali.

 

right. that's what i've heard from some other guys. such a silly law

geayyyyyyy

 

HONDA = How Odd No Damn Acceleration



boost it

 

add about 4 more cylinders

 

More displacement = more torque. But you won't get far even with boring. Honda motors ftl.

Boost or get a B18B or B20. Those have decent torque #'s and good HP numbers relative to torque.
