I have a '91 CRX Si w/a '96 OBD-2 B18C1 motor. I'm running an Integra Xsi Pr3 ecu which is also non-OBD. I'm using an Si wiring harness w/vtec wires ran, '91 integra distributor, and '91 ls injectors. The motor is completly swap with a little over 60k on it. I was told this motor would for sure break into the 14's stock. And I'm only running mid-15's w/it. If anyone has information on these swaps please let me know. ANy information would be great.

The problem probably has to do with the ECU you're using, that or you're just not a good drag racer. The best thing to do would be to get the car on the dyno and see what the deal is. Also, do a compression test to see how strong the motor actually is.

post some #'s from your last trip to the strip, as for me i would tell to check to see if your timing is right. also, since your not running a gsr ecu, the manifold's butterflies are not being actuated. so the engine will lag on the low end, and pick up on the top end. unless you wanna use a skunk2 intake manifold, you'll have to use a obd0 to obd1 jumper(to comvert to obd1), obd1 distributor, 4 wire o2 sensor, and a obd1 gsr ecu!

 

What the hell does this have to do with what times I run at the drag stip?

 

I am running a skunk2 intake manifold so both vtec butterflies are opening. I am running a '91 ls distributor so I was wondering if that might be it. If there is a difference between the jdm vtec and ls distributors.

 

haha

that will help you on your dam time on the drag strip!!!

your running OBD0 Harness when your car suppose to be OBD2!!!

you might want to do a conversion to get some better resluts GSR Swap in a CRX is fast!!!

your running 15s not good for a GSR on a Civic!!!

 

I am running a '91 ls distributor

yup LS is no good!!!

you need a Vtec Distributor they differ badly!!!

 

The distributors will not make a difference. I'm really not sure how the pr3 runs a b18c, but i would think it would run it a little lean. Have you pulled your spark plugs out and looked at them? If not do so and see what they look like. Do you have an adjustable FPR?

What are you talking about? The distributor makes NO difference.

 

hey,
you need a jdm b16 [obd-0] distributor for that motor in order to solve your problem. your ls distributor is not compatible with vtec head. i have one [the distributor], you wanna buy it? it has about 50k on it. so it's still in good cond. lemme know if you want it. [repeat from other forum]

just another thought...does your ls dist. fit right on the head or not? or does the bolts fit?

 

You just cut off one of the legs and it fits fine.

 

hahahaha yah sorry guys but the dizzy does not matter.... a non-vtec dizzy will not make it slower.... we need more info to give you some answers, like how does the car feel? slow low end? high end? whats the timing at? plugs look like? with somemore info we can help you out and do a compression test to see if the motor is in good shape.
good luck

 

hahhaha the awnsers that have been given were soo bullshit,


the distributor is fine,

your using a pr3? are you running both o2 sensors or is the 2nd o2 sensor wire spliced?

that is more than likely part of your problem, the other problems i would guess is your timing is way off.

you should read before you bark at everyone trying to help this guy out!
this is what i wrote in my reply to his problem: as for me i would tell to check to see if your timing is right.

 

i wasnt directing my comments at u, so take a chill pill

it was for everyone that said the ls distributor woudlnt work, and for the other guy who tried to sell a distributor.

i know for a fact the 90 ls distributor will work because when i was looking for a new one, everyone told me to get a 90 and shave the leg off.

i never took your coments as offencive towards me, i just wanted to justify my point! i have a question for you: won't using the ls distributor limit you on how must advancing and retarding of the distributor you can do.

 

no it shouldnt, u are cutting off an entire leg you will still be able to turn the distributor you just have to tighten it down very good.

besides you really shouldnt advance/ retard teh timing more than a few degrees anyway.

i'm only baseing this, on what my friend told me after i sold him my new ls distributor. he went as far as telling me, that even after shaving the leg off it wound't work! so i just gave him his money back! and the timing issue, that's commonsense

 

well im not 100% sure im just going by what ive been told by hondatecher's
they all said the ls distributor would work when my sir distributor went out, but i ended up finding another sir distributor.

check that webpage on how to do ignition timing, so you could check if it's right!

those distributors don't last too long, they are becoming hard to find in good shape. i have one with a bad cam position sensor, but i never rebuildt it!
