Well Hi, I got a civic eg9 with a B16a(Small Vtec) engine. I need and I mean really need some advise on Moding the engine cause cars here are really nasty (I'm from Thailand) because most of the cars here have turbo (Even Honda Fit have turbo ) and it seems that the Small vtec counldn't even catch up to them....... any good advise would be great!!




Thnk by the way!

 

Modding it how? Maybe you want to be more specific.

 

Erm well, any kind would be use full like swaping a lower part of b20b on to b16a or change the camshaft

 

or just put on turbo........

 

For. What. Purpose? What is the end goal you are trying to achieve?

 

Well just be able to catch up with those guys is enough for me. Its not like I want to win the race but just to show them that my car also have some juice in it.

 

His goal is to beat all the turbo Honda Fits.

 

We all know this is not true. You want to do some street racing and blow the doors off of your friends.

Turbo or go home.

 

Just catching up LoL not trying to beat them

 

So Turbo??

 

Can't a NA build catch up with those turbo?

 

Why just want to catch up and not beat them. Go B,H,K, or J then go turbo if you want to be fast

Edit just seen you have a b16. Just go turbo

 

Lol not a b16

 

No. You won't even make 200hp N/A. A cheap turbo kit will put 300hp on a stock engine. They can't even catch up to me in a stock turbo D-series.

 

so go with turbo for now, thats gonna be enough "juice" until you can swap out your motor. what size rims do you have on your ride?

 

woa you can totally make 200whp on a b16. just not cheaply and cost vs. outcome wise not worth it. but it can be done.

if you want to stay NA ls/ vtec. but a fit is light and fast with a turbo.

so turbo.

 

Boost it. Plain and simple.

 

I said HE won't make 200hp.

 

 

So why are you laughing at him? We should all get laughed at cuz we own hondas... If someone likes hondas, who cares, if someone has a slow car, who cares?... Everyone get offended for no reason.

 

So you are telling him to turbocharge his car, making it faster than any swap, then advising him to then swap so he can go slower later on? And rim size plays a part in eating up horsepower but not enough to help him "keep up" with those otehr cars.
You're the only one getting offended apparently.

 

Yea the reason we are laughing at him cuz he owns a honda...its not like this is a honda website or anything

 

$10k to keep up N/A, or $3k to run the same power F/I. Take your pick.

 

another one of these threads.

By the time I am done, I will have spent about $6,000 on parts, $1500 in labor/tune for my h2b swap, and it should easily be running 12's in the 1/4 mile. (not that I'll ever go to the drag strip, it's a DD/Autocross car)

I know for a fact I could have done the swap for $2,000 less, but not gotten nearly the quality of a swap I got.

I nickel and dimed myself to a much higher quality swap than I'd intended. The transmission is going to be [b]better[/img] than brand new.

And I'm sure a D-series with $4,000 into a turbo setup would probably walk all over me. I don't know, bench racing is kind of silly, but I think the car will be faster than most turbo d's on the road.
