my old car. b16a itr im and tb, whale penis intake, shitty headers 2 1/2 inch exhaust un-tuned. 104kw atw. now new owner has put new headers on 4 - 1 and tuning soon. so will let u know how he goes

if u go to enough dyno days,u'll make 90kw,100kw,110kw,120kw & if the dyno calibrater is really lazy u could even make 150kw,theres even a magic dyno in melb where u can get 200kw graph
take your pick which one u like best & put it in your sig

to back up your dyno numbers, is to race it down the 1/4mile
all dyno's are different, and talking about dyno's, theres a dyno day down at rigolli, go down and check it out. i think a few honda boys are going.

with that work and a good exhaust system you should get around 115-120kw atw depending on dyno.
BlitZ
21-06-2009, 02:42 PM
the b16a wont have enough compression/volume to turn the toda c's.... more likily 100kw..
better with either spec b.. or upgrading your bottom end to 1.8/2.0..
Especially if you honda is >1000kg... the b16a doesnt shine...
No replacement For displacement..

saikou27
21-06-2009, 02:57 PM
depending on how well its tuned you will make something around 110kw-120kw atw
blitz is right though to make proper use of those spec c cams you might wanna consider some more compression

Thats exactly right... stock b16a with i/h/e and spec c's, in a heavy delsol 13.9...
if charbel can make 118 im sure youll make around the same if not more with a good tune
Just put the results up when its done, you have the parts your going to run so why have 4000 opinions on what it might make or do, will it make you feel better about the combo your running? :rolleyes:

Fairly light Delsol
Our EG weigh around 1030kg with the cage last year with the b16a when it ran 13.9 as well. Mine you it ran only ITR cams
Drivetrain also has some importance as well, which i think you have upgraded
To the OP, you might want to do FD and LSD

UMM light delsol? Anyone can get there delsol the same weight if not lighter!!!
I left one seat.. door trims still on...no trims in the back.. nothing inside the boot... Nothing major.. If any delsol owner has troubles getting to that weight then i will gladly do it for them...
Your Eg most certainly didnt weigh 1030kg.. No one is stupid... I weighs sub-930kg now without the cage and your cage is no where near 100kg....
A stock eg si with a b18c7 FULL interior weighed 988kg... So tell me how your eg put on weight?
As for your b16a Eg civic.. please dont even compare there two different chassis... i have videos of your eg with the 123kw b16a on e85 with itr manifold and 70mm TB and 4.9 final drive.. buddyclub spec 3 cams etc run 14.2-14.3 @95-96mph.... ??? whats the go there how come that is so slow?
How is my FD etc relevant to power figures...?
Stay on topic Benson... You always seem to drift off and refer to my car in some way shape or form... If you or anyone else has something to say about me, my car, or my setup.. Feel free to PM me and not be a little Keyboard bitch
Here is my setup. the power figures are there... No where near 100kw's LMAO

Everyone think EGs are light. They are only light if you stripped it out hardcore. Our current weight is around 960-980kg (depedning on fuel level) without cage
Like i said, we have muck around heaps with the B16a last year, so there was heaps of different set-ups on the car. Regardless, i have nothing to prove but gave the OP a good comparison of a different set-up

yeh,98 MPH with that setup really does backup the dyno graph,all HP,no torque,all the torque is coming out the gearbox not the B16,i'd be swapping the bottom end on that thing asap.

I bet my life on it that my b16a makes more torque than your b18c :D
First time to the drags on that setup aswell...? Still room for improvement
I wish i could take each of you guys for a drive individually. I bet that would make you change your mind...It's nothing special... but certainly not 100kw and not all revs and no go...

dude,ur not listening,& u give your life away so easily
all the torque is coming out your gearbox,not the motor,a little torque peak at the end from some oversized cams aint gonna help ya either.
im pulling 100MPH regularly,with stock motor,stock 4.4 fd,stock tall 2nd & 3rd,17" rims with rubber bands attached,all at only 50kg less than u. Torque peaks mean little,u need a good balance of torque & HP,at least u got the g/box to make up for it a little,but it wont help ya on the street.
strap a few more cc's to your head & g/box & u'll be laughing all the way to the time sheet.:thumbsup:

CRxer, wack in a ITR Box or a 4.9 FD and LSD and you'll pull crazy torque! CRX chasis aint that light as well, your one should be a tad over the 1000kg mark

If you dont believe my actual motor makes half decent torque then there isprobably nothing i could say to convince you... Before the final drive before anything... It had more torque than a b18c... quite a bit more too... The torque curve rises and holds off until very high in the rpms range.. Its kind of flat..

Your mph means nothing because as you said everything makes your gearing top end.... If my Del sol was another 50 kg lighter it would have hit 100mph.. Thats that.. stay on topic..
Basically if you have toda spec c cams and your making 100kw atw.. Please seek proffesional advice.

i dont know exactly what u mean by "makes your gearing top end",but i thnk your a little confused.
give me 50 kg to throw in the car, a 4.9fd shorter ratio(on all forward gears,except 1st)g/box,some drag radials & we'll prob see more MPH on a bogstock B18C even still.

I mean that they will lower your acceleration attributes but increase your top speed attributes...

Drag radials will bring your mph down... 50kg will also bring your mph down..

CRXer
22-06-2009, 04:15 PM
...............
it only increases your top speed limit,thats if your car can even get there & says nothing of how long it took u to get to said top speed.
MPH at the strip is all about how hard & how quickly your car will accelerate to said MPH,so the most tractive effort u can apply to the road for the longest amount of time.
shorter gears & fd's will multiply the torque from the motor & make better use of whatever amount of "powerband" u have,not just some peak torque figure,but how long u can apply the most torque & preferably with more rpm to increase overall power output.
your gearbox is multiplying whatever torque u have & keeping u in that peaky little bit of b16 power u have on top of the big cams.
drag radials compared to concrete like 205/40/17's,will have u accelerating for a longer amount of time,therefore more MPH can be built in the short space u have over 400m,whatever MPH loss u lose at the topend of the track from your drag radials dragging on the road,will definitely be offset by your ability to get going accelerating sooner in comparison.
remember this is comparison to street 205/40/17's,not a generalised statement on drag radial effects

Save yourself the time, money, trouble and heartache. Coming from a guy that tried a built B16A - would I do it again? No.
Buy a used $2k-3k turbo kit, bolt it onto the stock engine and you'll beat a few stock turbo cars. Fun > wank factor.
I've seen and heard your car IRL.
Come on.....you can't say that idle and the noise it makes as your rev that bitch out aint FARKING GANSTA!
A+ for coolness. Made me miss my old SR.
Was it worth the money? Probably not but shit was awesome.
One tough B16 :thumbsup:

A typical N/A talk right here... you wont gain 30kw from just changing exhaust. More like 2-5kws

i'm not expecting a 30kw gain in peak power mate,
if you looked and read what i said instead of blurting stuff out you'd understand the situation
I'm running stock EG SI catback on a B16B
which, quite obviosuly is smaller than stock ek9 catback size which would be seriously restricting the motors performance which is why it would feel sluggish
so no i'm not asking for peak power i'm merely saying when i change to aftermarket cat headers and catback i should see a big change in the way the motor performs

You said "big gains." I gues my udnerstand of big is different to yours, no hard feelings

It is what it is mate. And for what it's worth, thanks, I poured a lot into the EM1 and yeah, it's a tough car - and yes it does sound fantastic.
I guess experience in key though, I've done a worked B16A, had too much trouble getting the thing running properly with broken tuning deals and money down the drain. Like I said... I wouldn't do it again.
I find it a bit amusing to see the new guys come into the Honda scene, some just have a bit of a tinker around, other come in thinking their worked B16A is the be all and end all of power. Not amusing in a bad way, just amusing in a way that, well... that was me once. Now I know better - and I learnt the hard way, which is why I have such a strong opinion.
As far as this thread is concerned though, I think OP should just do a few simple mods, get it tuned and just have fun. Don't be too concerned about power figures or what you can or can't beat. :)

man i had a mate with that same situation, once you put good headers, cat, and exhaust it will be a big difference to the restricting 1 inch exhaust you got now...
