hey guys...iam getting my b16a 2nd gen into my 95 coupe ex soon and was hoping to know some rough 1/4 mile times i should be running stock...and also with i/h/e

 

high 15's, mid 15's if you can drive

 

thats it?

 

what do you mean "it"?
its a 1.6l motor with NO TORQUE in a coupe. coupes arent that light. let alone it being an EX wich is the heaviest coupe.

throw some slicks on unbolt your cat....with you I/H/E.....and you might see 14's high 14's at that though

 

no power options..no a/c....2400lbs plus different engine...maybe 2550lbs with 168 hp.....should it not be faster than an 99-00 Si or Sir whatever you guys call them down there.

 

sorry dude its gonna run you a mid 15 at best.
HP dosent matter for weight, its torque.
your car could weigh 1000lbs but if you only have 40ftlb of torque your not gonna go anywhere.
you should be happy if you run a mid 15

 

what does the 99-00 si in the states run?

 

high 15's stock mid 15's with i/h/e

 

mostlikely you will be 16's cause you are asking!!

don't desk race...go and do it for reals yo

 

first off, what are your goals? do you want to be in the 14s...13s? do you just wanna be as fast as some guy you know with a type r or a friend with a mustang? if you have some goals then people can help you figure out what to do to attain them cause it takes some money for a civic to be fast...you should know this. but listen if you do the swap you will be happy with it for awhile b/c it will be an improvement on what you have but when you start to race people then you will want better acceleration. the b16a is not a bad swap for the $$$ but youll never be as fast as you want to be unless you:

A. modify the hell out of it / boost it
B. start off with a motor with more displacement (B18B,C1,C5) and then modify it C. move to a lighter car like a hatch which would shave off 200lbs

anyway you look at it its an investment of 1000s of dollars just to be a little quicker, but hey speed is addictive.
