ok im new to the whole four banger scene. ive always had a ls1 or 13b. i just came across this car which basically fell into my lap. its a 1994 4door civic i just picked up a b20 and a b16 head. what would it take to get this thing into high 12's or so any ideas are appreciated. thanx Aaron. oh and it doesnt matter if its n/a or f/i id like to see both sides

 

bump

 

Research.

 

wow thanks for the support. i know these cars arent fast but that doesnt mean you guys have to be so down about it. i thought honda guys helped eachother out guess i was mistaken. i'll figure it out thanx for your support.

 

You can do it n/a...imo boost would be funnn

 

toda vtec killer cams will get you pretty close. (along with the rest of the head upgraded)

or you can boost it

explain a little more i.e.
budget?
na or turbo?
street/ track/ daily?

 

^ care to explain about the vtec killers?

but honestly, research.

i dont know much bout the b20's nor do i know about Vtec
traction. weight. skillz. thats is all.

 

b20 vtec is pretty good already but if you wanna go 12s you need to take it to machine shop then you gotta get some eagle rod, ctr pistons, toda cams and gotta do your head. my boy had that setup wit a gsr motor in a ek hatch but i think he had ls rods instead of eagle rods. he was hitting low mid 12s. i dont know wut he did but he like just blew a piston and messed up a cylinder in the block and his head too. but yea thats a good setup for 12s

 

r Senik -- a toda vtec killer cam is all high lob aka vtec lobe, there is no low lube on the cam.. vtec all day no matter the rpm, also very ruff on internals.

in my opinon they are a waste of money inless your runing an all track car.... plus at idle it will sound like an angry type writer lol.

op your best bet is to just sit down and spend some time searching this site as well as others to figure out what you got.. and figure out what you want.. is this going to be a daily driver or just a toy?? you can get well into the 12s almotor or boost, of corse boost will most likey be the easiest way..

also what other mods does the car have? internals? full bolt ons tuneing??

 

bump for b20's

i just picked up a stock b20b and threw a gsr tranny on there......but more to come!

 

u can always go with basic bolt ons but if you wanted to make an all motor car mabey something along the lines of ctr cams or skunk2, new pistons, rods, and valves but or you could spend 1500-2500 on a nice turbo set up and easily push high 12s out of it

 

you should go NA, it gets more respect...but then again it costs more and can't make the same noises a turbo can lol.
