a close friend of mine just got his b16 in his crx, with the help of some friends we installed a clutchmasters stage 1 clutch with their flywheel which is at 7.5lbs
now after 500 miles of going EASY on the clutch/fly (all city miles btw) we finally decided to take her for a hard drive, to my shock it took FOREVER to get to redline through all gears, i mean my stock drivetrain b18c revs MUCH quicker, and this has got me thinking all day, on wtf it could be

keep in mind, he is running stock HF piping which is well embarassing, could this be restricting his revving ' that ' much?

thanks in advance.

 

 

don't expect it to rev THAT much faster than stock. yes, you will tell a difference but its not as quick as most think. after installing a clutchmasters flywheel in my little d17, i was able to tell a major difference but it wasn't quite as fast as i thought it would be. i doubt the pipe size has anything to do with it. also i doubt a faulty install could slow it down.

 

HF piping can only support 80hp max.

 

no not by any chance did i overestimate how the car should be with the fly, but its bogging hard, it seems as it takes FOREVER to get to redline in EVERY gear

now as rocket mentioned, yes in my mind it might be the piping, but how much can it affect it?

 

Unbolt the exhaust and take her for a spin. A B16 with HF exhaust piping is just plain silly.
