hey guys im new to the forums. Been meaning to sign up for awhile now. Anyways i was wondering if anyone has done a build like mine and could tell me what power im pushing, and what i can expect to run with. Heres what i have

1992 Civic hatch

Motor: B18b1 w/ ls trans

Mods:
-Crowler Stage 2 Cams with stock valve train
-Weisco dome pistons
- 4-1 header
- Cat converter been hollowed out
- 2.25" exhaust to stock muffler (wanted to keep it quiet)
-Aem cold air intake
-Msd 10mm wires
- 4 puck xdt clutch
-Solid motor mounts
-Short Shifter
-Chipped Ecu

Any input would be greatly appriciated. From what i can tell the car doesnt really start pulling hard till about 5k rpms and i shift at 6,600 cause i dont like to beat the **** outa my car, plus since its chipped and has no rev i dont really know how far its safe to push with with stock valve train.

 

so you're running all that and dont have it tuned?

 

i was told it was tuned. It has a pr4 ecu in it. I always though it had to be a p28 in order to tune though. See i got the car and it needed a clutch in it. And when i tore the transmission apart i always tore the motor apart and it had all the parts the guy said it did, cause i was skeptical because alot of ppl will say a motors built and its not. So i put in a 4 puck xdt clutch,threw in some solid mounts, and put on a 4-1 header, and gutted the cat cause we dont have emissions here, and put it all back together. It doesnt smoke or leak any fluids or knock or anything, has mild valve chatter, so i might need to adjust them, but other than that the car runs great.

 

he also told me i must run 93 octane with the tune, so thats all i have run with it

 

so put it on a dyno and find out

 

closest one around is 2 hours away, dont have time or money for a dyno yet, was just wondering what other people got with the same build

 

so you dont have money to put it on a dyno, but you're running a setup with cams on stock valvetrain, unknown compression, and a "chipped" ecu? hope you have money to rebuild it when it blows up.

 

the guy i bought it from built the car and had it tuned in nashville tn, but i never asked what i put down or anything.

 

are you being serious or pulling our legs ?

 

To answer the OP original question "NO!"

No one can tell you what power your pushing or what you might be without any solid info to compare with.

 

eleventy billion horsepower. On a serious note...who sold it to you? Im guessing hes not around?

 

Previous owner had it "tuned" but doesn't know the horsepower numbers, hmmmm

 

Besdies the obvious parts, how do you even know it has everything installed on that list? I am going to assume the PO told you but never told you how much power it was pushing even after he supposedly had it dyno'd.

Advice. Start saving to get it dyno'd.

 

You need a tune to determine your hp/torque accurately. Stock the engine has a peak hp of around 145 (Wiki), and peak torque of 127 (wiki)..But if you knew one or the other you could use the formula for horsepower which is hp=(torque x rpm)/5252....But since you know niether of them well your just s.o.l.
