Just wondering what times i should be getting with a stock b18c5 engine in a 94 si hb! but eventually i want to build a road going 1/4 mile monster!

 

saw an evo 8 do 1/4 mile in 10.05! and i thought i want as close to taht as i can get! i like to get 12's or 13's! longshot????

 

Mid to low 14s and maybe high 13s depending on driver, tires, altitude(height above sea level), and weather.

 

just been reading another thread and he has turbo'ed d16z6 and he says he could probably run 12's! what is my better option going turbo on my d16 or tuning the b18?

 

With a stock B18c5 you could do anywhere from high 13's to high 14's

 

I hope so! i'll be pleased with that before i start tuning!

 

The b18c5 will be better in the long run...

 

good ****! there are not many highly tuned honda's here in the united kingdom so it will be good to have one! people here are only just catching on that these cars are good! i've been saying it for years!

 

If you boost the d16 then you can pull some nice numbers, but going all motor with the b18c5 will be more reliable and pull mid to low 12s with the proper setup on a si hatch. And maybe later you might decide to boost the b18c5, then you could have some sick power in the hatch and pull even better numbers on slicks that is.

 

since you have a good engine already (D16z6) Just turbo that motor.

I'd figure the B18c5 will land you about 14.0-14.4 depending on Etc. etc. But that's a $4000+ swap. as is where a Turbo for a D16 is about $700-3000. Depending on how much you want out of it.

I'd say stick with the d16 and boost it. I'm doing the same and I hope to hit mid 13's for under $2000 (including my whole swap)

Rhyne</TD></TR></TABLE>This is very true, you are going to spend alot more $$$$$$ on building the B18C5 n/a or boost than you would on the SOHC.

 

If you want to get anywhere near toughing that Evo you saw, you'll need a b18 and quite a turbo. FI'ing a d16 or running a n/a b18 probably won't do it, without some excessively good parts and tuning.

 

Thanks for all the replys, they have given me a few idea's!!! Cant wait to get it done and run it down the strip! gonna leave it looking stock cos there are not many of them in the uk especially one's that are tuned so when it pulls some quick times they are all gonna be wtf
