Real Honda tuners will never say such retard phrases, so which forum are you trolling from? Clubsi?

Vtech, most folks on the UBB don't understand your combo so you won't get much props...

B16 motor in that hatch is strong combo must have major tq steer though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

My GF has a 95 Honda Vtec stock.

You think you'd run 13.0??? I have seen some B16 cars go high 13's/low 14's.

<strong> What would the MEAT of third gear be in a REAL Honduh, above 8000 RPM? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">My car pulls really hard from 4000 up,Things start getting hectic at about 5000 and the VTEC switchover is 6000.At 6000 the sound jumps about 10 decibels and races forward with a vengance.
I rev to 9500Rpms.
I have to upgrade the valvetrain with Titanium retainers and Dual Valve springs.
The stock redline for my motor is 8000,but when I first got the swap I was using the SOHC program in my Ecu and redline was only 7600.

The car in that state ran a 14.7@92.75.I didnt even have so much as a filter as a mod.

Vtec is cool.Under 6000 rpm's it sounds cool,my cams have more power and low end grunt than the stock ones,They are from a Jap Integra Type R.At 6000(In my car),If the oil pressure is right,among other things the Vtec will engage thus switching over to the "Big" Cam.
This cam is the wild one,Believe it or not they are about the 4th most mild Cams there are.

On a side note,I was just on the GSP(again)No more than 10 minutes ago and a SN95 Black Cobra pulled next to me and showed me his stuff.

I am the type of guy that will completely ignore a ricer that pulls up next to me and revs or wants me to roll down my window,But when a worthy race comes up and if and only if they innitiate it I will race.
I mean dont you hate it when people pull up and rev and you dont wanna race

Anyway I "Quietly" downshifted into 4th and kept it at about 5900,right before Vtec changeover.He was in the left lane,I was in the lane next to him,cars were in front of both of us and he kept hitting the gas and gunning it up to the bumper in front of him.
I didnt flinch,I got over and went around the car in front of me and just quietly kept it at 5900,the lane next to me was open so sure enough the Cobra started getting over.
My car is so quiet when I am not hard on it and so loud when I am.So the Mustang was bout 4 cars back,I could tell he was in a low gear because I could hear him(Sounded so awesome).
I look in my mirror he is about 2 cars back and coming,I heard him gun it,I gunned it and I had 6 car lengths by the time I hit 9500 in 4th.Now from 6000 rpm's to 9500 rpms I beat him that bad.
He cannot take me off the line because I pulled a best of a 2.151 60' When I was stock!!!.Stock meaning stock w/Motor Swap.The swap I had before this was a SOHC VTEC which ran 15.8@89 Stock,Before it blew on my birthday.

Im rambling I know,but Im sick of the Honda boards and I liked F Bodys way before I liked Hondas.
Thanks for not flaming me,Im just looking for new friends.
Dan


You know how cars with Wild cams idle?Dohc Vtec Hondas idle so smooth because there are

"REAL Hondas are pretty unstoppable in 3rd gear VTEC."

The VTEC engine is great for getting groceries...not racing. Sink enough money into anything and you can make it reasonably fast. REAL Hondas are designed to have enough room to store 10+ bags of groceries.

My thought is that you're posting this just to get a rise out of us LS1 guys. If I'm wrong, chalk it up to all the <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" /> I did tonight. </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Your right and your wrong.

I have spent alot on my car but alot of it is cosmetic so I will just post the go fast stuff.

Car:92 Honda Civic VX-Made to get good gas milage and get groceries.:$3250

Engine-00 Honda Civic SI DOHC VTEC-Made to get good gas milage and made to be faster than anything in its class at the same time.$4000 Installed

Weight-2030 without me,I weigh 155

Mods:
2000 Integra Type R Cams,Valvesprings and Retainers,$850 installed

Exhaust:Custom 2 1/4 piping,No Cat,2 1/4 inlet,outlet Dynomax muffler painted black and barely visible,Quiet,deep,$150(Really)

Ecu:Mugen Racing Only?? program,6000 VTEC Croosover,9500 Rev limit:$150 with core

Intake:3 inch AEM Cold Air Intake for Integra Type R:Only paid $100 from my brother,Retail is $240

B&M Fuel Pressure Regulator and Gauge:$85 for both believe it or not.

$8640 is the total including Car and all the go fast stuff.

My car is making roughly 205 FLYWHEEL HP and weighs 2030.

If you divide the weight by the hp ypu get the Power to Weight Ratio or Lbs per HP if you will.

My lbs per Horsepower is 9.902.

A Ws6 makes 325 hp and Im gonna say weighs 3450??

That would make the Lbs per HP for a STOCK WS6:
10.615.The lower the better,So as you can see my clear advantage.
Now for 2500$usd I am going to add an intercooled Rev hard kit pushing 9lbs of boost with an Hks blow off valve and a Tial wastgate(Thats what it comes with,Im gonna install it myself).That is going to put my crank hp at about 365 and add about 70 lbs.Putting my Power to weight ratio at,Drum roll. . .5.753,And hopeful low 11's with slicks.

While I can truly appreciate your efforts and the amount of work you put into that Civic, but I still don't like wrong-wheel-drive *performance* cars.

Your story sounds legit to me. I've got an aquaintance with a high 11 Civic that isn't all riced out looking. He sunk $20K into modifying that car though, but it looks decent.

BTW, I'm an equal opportunity racer. I'll race just about anyone that thinks they are fast or sporty when I'm out cruising around.

Wow, I love to hear the hp to weight ratio....because that means absolutely nothing. How bout some torque numbers.

I also find it hard to believe you put 6 cars on a cobra from 5900-9500 rpm....unless it takes 5 sec to accelerate to 9500 rpm and the cobra was at a standstill.

While I'm not too sure about your motives here, your attitude seems to be pretty cool even after getting some **** from us. Kudos to you for that at least. IMO, I just think it's a waste to sink money into a Civic. Then again, the viper guys same the same thing about f-bodies. If your car is what you say it is, I'm sure you catch a lot of people off guard. BUT, it's still not fast and you give the VTEC engine way too much credit.

I think you are getting way too much attention. Like it was said earlier, half the cars in here run mid 11's to mid 12's. How many times have I heard a ricer say that they could take me on the street and when we show up they run with their tails inbetween their legs. VTEC THIS VTEC THAT, who gives a **** lets race!

Yanno power ot weight ratio would mean something if you were making more than 190 horse. Say your car weighs 2025 and it's making 340 horse to the front wheels then THAT would be something to brag about. Otherwise you're racking your brain on some #'s that really don't mean squat to anyone on this board, heh... I do respect you for the work you've done for your car. Show us a 13.0 timeslip and you'd probably get more respect from this board. 13.0 would be perdy fast for a little b16 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
