Ok well heres the deal this motor ran GREAT! 6 motnhs ago then it sat..I get it back and hasnt ran the same..Its so ****** slow! It wont pull into vtec for **** its so so sluggish!!! Its also missin..when i try to take off in 1st it "sometimes" gives the vrooommm*miss miss* vrooom *miss* then take off ...Plugs and wires are new. Seriously can anyone help me out here its not funny how slow this thing is...

 

put a 200 shot of nos on it

 

I hate you

 

How new is the distributor cap? Have you checked the timing recently??

 

6 months you say.. if so try going to the gas station, you're probably still running winter fuel, and try changing your oil and other fluids, its not good to leave a car garaged and not started for a long time

 

Ive ran 3 tanks of 93 oct...havent changed the oil but hows that gonna make it miss so bad..I havent checked timing but it should be the same sence last time i left it

 

try checking the cap and rotor.. also check fuel /air filters.

 

ok you changed the plugs, its missing hard enough for the gass or fluids not to be a problem. could there be a bad sensor? have you checked the oil? is there any in it?

 

quite possible that one or more of your injectors is gummed up from sitting with fuel in the rail. Try swapping in your old SI injectors if you still have them, or known good ones.

 

Try your fuel filter. Might have sucked up some crap from sitting. Don't know but worth a shot. Oh and check your filter and/or intake piping for some uninvited critters.

 

contestant: im gonna go with whats wrong with my car for 500 please.

alex: ok and the answer is clogged injectors or fuel filter.

contestant: what is wrong with my car after 6 months?

alex: that is correct and that was our daily double.

i just put my b16a in with some type r cams and it is slow from day one, so dont feel bad. boost it, it seemed to help my friends b16a.

 

I don't know how all these b16's are slow. My friend put a zc with si tranny into his crx and he ran in the 14's his first run. Only other mods are exh. headers,cold air intake, MSD ignition, and 17 by 7inch rims. So it seems to me b16's are a wast of cash. Unless runing 14's is slow to you guys.

 

Yea I just sold the b16 and went b18 Im almost done with the swap

 

My buddies CRX/B16A sucked. I test drove it and the VTEC would cut in and out. Ended up being the wrong ECU.

 

D series ownz JoO

 

Why would you do that? I just raced a B18A EF Civic (1 hr ago at the track) and walked him.

 

Boost ownz J00 ...And I doubt you would walk one .... Ive seen b16a' sgettin eatin up by b18a1's ....Alot! With just i/h/e on the b18a1 vs. b16a in 1/4 expect the b18a1 to pull about 1 car on a b16 ..

 

Again, I doubt it. I only have a CAI, running street tires. He had I/H/E and slicks, and he's been driving since he's 14. Basically he pulled about 2-3 cars on me off the line and I walked him down by the end. B18A/B just can't keep up on the top end, and the 1/4 mile is long enough that I catch up by the end.

 

what kinda tranny you running? what fuel pressure, any cams.. there are so many factors in racing, there are no "identical" cars..

 

My mods are as follows:

Eibach "Sportline" Springs
Tokico Gas Shocks (front) (stock rear)
Vibrant front & rear strut tower brace
AEM CAI (for a CRX Si)
JDM B16A
B&M adjustable fuel pressure regulator & B&M fuel pressure gauge
Holley/Walbro 190lph in-tank fuel pump (adapted from an Acura Integra)
Accel 300+ race wires
Carsound catalytic converter (Magnaflow rebadges these, so it's basically a Magnaflow cat)
KVR silver stainless cross-drilled front rotors
KVR Carbon Fibre brake pads
ATE "Super Blue" race brake fluid
Stripped sound deadening (complete interior)
Stripped rear interior (down to the sheetmetal)
Power Door locks & power hatch switch
RAZO RActive sport pedals
Autometer Carbon-Fiber Series air/fuel gauge
Autometer Carbon-Fiber Series electric oil pressure gauge

Hardly what I'd call 'souped-up'. My fuel pressure I've been playing with - currently it's set at 36 psi. My timing is set at 16+2 degrees, ie 2 degrees advanced, running 94 octane (he was running 89 octane and gave me a spiel about how octane is unimportant, so he'd consider that a moot point). Neither of us had our passenger seats in.

Everything else is stock. Stock cams, compression, CRX Si stock exhaust, yadda yadda, it's stock. I'm not the kind of guy to say 'oh yeah it's stock' when it's not. The above list is the full list of mods besides stuff like which speakers I'm using. Personally I think he's done more work to his than I have to mine, but I think my engine's in better shape (ie., he has a minor oil leak near the headgasket). It's a temporary engine he's running while he assembles his B18A/B race motor.

If you're really that curious I can post the timeslip

Ooops, forgot to post the tranny. I'm using a JDM S1 (4.400 final drive, it sucks on the highway ). I cross the traps halfway through 4th gear, which I believe is also one more gearchange than he does, though I'm not sure which tranny he's running.

Ooops again, my website's still behind. My car weighs in at about 1980 lbs without me in it when set up for the track.

Still dont belive it till i see it ....Theres not that big of differnce between motors exceot the b18a has like 100 more ft lbs of tq

 

Ooops again, my website's still behind. My car weighs in at about 1980 lbs without me in it when set up for the track..........

and you only getting 14.6's...not trying to flame you but..with only intake, 2" exhaust, and skunk 2 cam gears.....i was hitting 14.9's....in a full interior 4dr, on street tires, pulling 2.1 60fts
