how does it do as far as 1/4 times and etc.

paging Tom...

 

no, no one does. j/k
there are several people on this board with this dream swap including the moderator. Try the search feature to see some of their numbers, mods, etc.

 

stripped hatch with basically stock B18C5 and a good driver will give you low 13's.

EDIT: Did I forget to mention slicks

Best I have seen was 15.7 and that was with a turbo and supercharger.

 

Must have been the motor out of that Meguiar`s "Type R", which is in the current issue. Sc`d and turbo`d, but no numbers

 

I do. Its fun.
I want to see what a C5 in a hatch with a turbo feels like though.

high compression boosted light cars should= grin from ear to ear.

 

I'm pretty sure that there's a guy here with a B18C5 in his EH2 hatch, but I cannot remember his SN.



Oh yeah don;t waste any more of your 5 posts per day trying to ask us who it is - it's me.



Just do a search at the top right corner with the "search" button and type in "B18C5-EH2" under recent topics and you'll see some good info on my set-up. Try it under "archievd topics" too and I'm sure you'll get any/all info you could possibly want on a B18C5 in a 1992 hatch.

BTW my best thus far is 13.3@101mph - that was with a 2.0 60 footer. I netted a 1.8 on my last run, but broke a damn $25.00 clutch fork. That would have landed me at 13.0 or 12.99!



BTW: I also had the same swap in my old 1992 Si hatch if you're wondering what an Si hatch would run - if you search you'll find that too.

 

At least it wasnt a $900 final drive

 

We hit 12.7 with just intake header and lsd on a GSR motor.

 

Tom, if you do hit a 13 flat or 12 sec 1/4, can you post some time slips for me? My friend is looking into doing a B18C5 swap into a hatch and was looking for some times. Thanks.

 

Yes I do.

Well put it this way:

I ran 13.3@101mph with a sorry-*** (for slicks) 2.0 60-footer.

My last run I got the slicks heated really nice and pulled a 1.8x 60-footer. The general rule is that for every .1 you knock off the 60-footer you will knock .2 off your total time.

I know for a fact the car had more than 13.3@101mph that night - clasic excuse but it's the truth.

When I ran the 13.3@99mph on slicks with my old (now broken) 4.929FD I knew that was the best that car would do on those shorty slicks. No excuses - 13.3 was all it had in it.

 

Tell the rest of the story tony!



What was the vehicle weight?

So damn impressive nontheless though.

 

At that time, the car had fiberglass hood, doors and rear hatch.
It had all lexan windows except for the rear hatch glass.
The entire interior was gone, but no metal was cut out.
The dash was sheet metal.
The fuel tank was replaced witha 5 gallon fuel cell.
Ice man intake with Headlight scoop.
MSD ignition.
Quaiff (sp) lsd.
Stock GSR Long Block and cams and all internals.
Stock GSR gearing.
20" Slicks
Stock shocks with generic coilovers.
Skinny wheels in back with stock drums.
Car weighed 1705 without driver though.

NOW...
All glass is lexan
rear floor was cut out.
extra sheet metal was cut out.
MB solid axle rear end.
Fastbrakes front drag setup.
High compression B20 with unknown setup
Havn't weighed the car yet, but have a box with about 150lbs of scrap in it

 

I have one in my 93 civic h/b, full interior and busted third gear, on street tires i ran a 14.3 in Bristol,TN...only my third time runnin 1/4 mile...needless to say i was pissed.

 

I have a 93 cx with b18c5 w/ GSR tranny w/ i,h,e

It is fast car. I have not taken it to the track yet. I raced my friends brand new WRX and beat him by about 3 car lenghts...to about 90mph(he did not launch the car right because he likes his tranny). I am very happy with the car but I could do it over again I would rather boost a b18.
