well the title is my main question here tonight folks...

lets just say my d16z6 I/H/E EG Hatch beat a b16 EG coup with type r tranny, from 1-mid 3rd gear.... how is that possible? lol

i was excited... but as far as i know other then the bolt ons its souppose to be stock...

only 20k miles on rebuilt motor... i never rebuilt it myself, bought it that way.. car used to be turbo in cali, and the head blew. I am thinking they built the head with some sort of valves, springs, etc...

any idea what it takes to put in d16z6 to beat a stock b16 like that?

 

your in a hatch hes in a coupe its going to be a drivers race.

 

horrible driver in the b16

 

I didn't know you were fast if you beat a B16. I've never rode in a fast B16 except one that was boosted.

 

lol... the other guy was a friend of mine... and he could shift, and drive ;p.

his was the jdm b16 motor with just exhaust and that stuipd type R tranny

 

it's fast compared to a 17 second single cam.

I'm thinking driver issues with the b16 owner

 

friend or not, either he sandbagged you or he sucks at driving.

 

Well, yeah..I guess your right when thinking about it that way. I wasn't really thinking about it on that level.

 

no problem

 

I had a del sol with a d15b7 with intake and full magna flow exhaust and beat my friends 00 Si with b16, headers, intake exhaust etc. i believe it was a drivers race because witha b7 i dont think it was right lol.

 

I think maybe that B16 was missing on a few Cylinders

 

he hit a pot hole.

 

fixed

 

fixed

 

^^^lol

 

the weight difference and hp difference would still put the b ahead of the d.

assuming both engines are running as they should, you simply outdrove him.

join nasa or the scca, go to a track event and see what happens. road courses or even autoX are where drivers shine.

 

Coupe is a lil bit more heavy that could help you out, i got a d16z6 also tho and i got a friend that has a 99 civic Si with the B16 vtec and i cant beat him dont know man i think the driver in the coupe sucks or you really have that head port...

 

well it does look really shiny when i took the head out to replace the gasket, and did valve adjustment >,>

u can hear him shift quickly, idk wat to say :S i just got regular ram intake, megan headers, and unknown exhaust

 

his could be in limp mode, he got sold a tranny other than a ITR, he may have oversized tires, he could have been shifting lower and you were more in your torque band...

 

this thread sux....

so does every thread that says... why am i faster than my douchebag friend street racing??

 

too bad for you, this isnt a technical only forum. so deal with it

 

its simple just race another b16 civic if u win ur motor is built!! done deal

 

trust me, your car isn't that fast, and street racing sucks....big deal you found someone who doesn't know how to drive.....there are lots of "those" out there!

Hit up the track, get a 1/4 mile time and impress me with what that car "really" does

 

just to clear this up a b16 isn't all that fast itself to begin with. even when i had my d16z6 in my eg hatch and race with a few b16, its either we're head to head or i'll get ahead by a bumper or it'll be the other way around. just because the b16 is in coupe which make it a little more heavier than mine which is in a eg hatch. by the way don't think i'm hating on the b16 guys cause now i'm riding on a em1.

 

I had a d15z1 with only a intake and somehow beat a wrx single driver. I had a buddy and my B18 tranny in the back. The d15 I had was rated at 96 horsepower. Guy followed me to a gas station and said I pulled on him and I was like yeaaa sure.

To even out the story. My buddy had a stock 94 integra that was a automatic and pulled on me for miles easy.

Its all in the driver, he prolly has a short short short shifter and missed a gear
