Default First time out in the B20 non-VTEC EK

My setup:

'96 Civic CX - no spare, only driver's seat
B20Z
'98 ITR tranny (4.785 fd)
ITR AEM CAI
ITR flywheel/clutch
Stock b16 exhaust manifold
Stock crappy exhaust
Stock all-seasons on 14" steelies

It was 70 degrees that day. There were so many cars I only got 2 runs in during a 6 hour period. My second run was 15.9 with a 2.4 60ft...the tranny wouldn't go into 4th.

I was pleased, I thought I'd only hit high 15s at best. I am car SM3031.

We are still working some bugs out. My best time last year was a 16.4 with a SOHC VTEC engine.

An 89 trap speed is not too appealing.I just finished that same swap in my crx and my first pass was a 14.8@93.The day after i hit the dyno and realized my baseline whp was 111 and 104tq(SOHC NUMBERS!!!).After tryin different ecu's and tuning i got it up to 132 and 121tq...i'll find out nwe track numbers this thursday.Good luck with yours!

Really? Yeah it sucks, I don't believe there is a local dyno where I could get mine tuned. I am still running on the stock fuel pressure and pump....that might have something to do with it.

I would definitely invest in at least an adjustable fuel pressure riser.On the dyno my motor loved alot of gas.Im also on a stock pump too.It hasnt seemed to bring up any problems yet.My other mods are a skunk2 intake mani,vibrant header,old school dynamic autosport cam gears,hernandez 2.5 muffler special and im running on a ZC ecu.Im not too sure if my numbers are "good" or not.To me they seem pretty low.I'll keep ya posted...

What's the fuel pressure you guys are using? I thought it was a good time for having a stock exhaust haha...

header/test pipe and exhaust should help a little. at least you;ll be in the 14's.

i need a fuel pressure regulator on my hybrid also

being broke sucks!
