Civic VTi-R

[civic-dream]

Hi guys,

its just a simple question...

what's the claimed 0-100km/h time for civic vti-r hatch?

coz 9.5 seconds on nrma website seems very slow.

[vti_ek9]

9.5?...r u serious...ahaha.....lmao...

[Menthu Rae]

I'd say it'd be more around 7.5... maybe 8... as it has the same power-weight as a Prelude VTi-R basically.

Although being a 1.6ltr - the torque-weight ratio probably isn't the same, and thus it may be .5-1sec longer getting to 100.

I just google searched and couldn't find any solid stats... might try properly later - but someone will be able to answer the Q :P

From redbook.com.au




1998 HONDA CIVIC
VTi-R Hatchback 3dr Man 5sp 1.6i

Acceleration 0-100 Km/h - 8.7 secs


So yeah - if that's accurate... then I was right about it being about a sec slower than VTi-R 'lude :wave: yay me! :rolleyes: lol

Anyway, sounds about right to me I guess :confused: :p Anyone think any different?

[civic-dream]

8.7?

that sounds a bit more realistic.

[Q_ball]

think its round 8.2 la

[T-onedc2]

I would've said 8sec or very low 8's, for the sake of comparison a dc2 vtir factory claim is 7.4.

[jackosimm]

Redbook would be the most 'factual' way of finding out, people just shouting out numbers and rough estimates are not likely to be correct, nor accurate.

I've got a bunch of car magazines (Motor, Wheels, etc) with properly measured road tests on VTi-R's at home. I'll post what the different results say when I get home. :thumbsup:

By the way, I really think there is NO WAY they need 9.5 secs to get to 100km/h. The old 100kw Corollas did it in around that time if I recall - and I know the VTi-R's can spank them...

[civtir]

around 8 sounds rite.....9.5 is very slow. Vtec prolly wasn't working wen they tested it lol

[mercury]

it fell off jdm y0 powah!11one

[PaZzMaN-R]

while we on the subject let me ask what time does the civic type r do. im interested to know the difference??

[Trust-Me]

Dunno bout the Hatch backs, but ive read in differents mags and the EM1 coupe is around 7.6-7.8 sec.

I gtech my EM1 when it was dead stock and got a best of 7.11 sec but averaged around the 7.4s..but this is not always accurate way of testing imo..

[Civic Type R]

haha this old thread again :)

Wheels magazine quote 8.2.
Ive tested my VTiR when it was stock and got 7.8 on about 15 runs and a best of 7.5 on one run. I experimented leaving it in second and tried shifting to third on some runs.

The EK9 is supposed to do it in 6.9 ~ depending also upon which Best Motoring DVD you watch but from all real life sources, 6.9 - 7.2 are the figure thrown at me.

[00' coupe]

nrma is way off on heaps of honda stats... redbook isnt that crash hot either

before i got my em1 i read that they did 8.7, 8, 7.8secs... and first time i did 0-100km i smashd all them times...

my em1 times are similar to trust-me... so the hatch should be around the same...

guesstimating a CTR should get a solid 6.5secs... i think there jst a little bit slower the a dc2r

[Civic Type R]

Actually all reports have indicated the EK9 is faster than the DC2 ITR. This was also backed up by someone who has raced both and runs a tuning business in Singapore. But ironically is franctionally slower over the 1/4

[gelo]

from what ive seen
its 8.1
but dats the claimed one
i reckon they can go faster

[EKNR33]

Trust-Me: Did you include the weight of petrol in your tank(approximately 1kg/Litre) and your body weight when you input the weight figure into your g-tech for the 0-100km/h runs? 7.11sec sounds quick for a EM1/or EK4.

Doesn't a stock DC2R/DC5R do 0-100km/h in around 6.9sec 7secs flat?
Vti-r Civic/Integras Mid to High 7s (Teg's quicker tho)
Vti-r Preludes around 8 to 8.5sec

my 2cents (i could be totally wrong, it just my opinion based on what i've read in the past)

There's a video clip with the DC2R Vs the EK9...
and the DC2R beat it 0 - 100 and down the quarter.
This was tested by those jap drivers...

[Limbo]

yeah i saw that it was from a best motoring Vid.
I think it depends on which DC2R your talking about, the DC2R they are talking about is prob a Aus spec one.

I think the JDM ITR is quicker, but on the track apparently the CTR is quicker around the corners. I saw it on the Type R best motoring DVD which i have around here somewhere.

[kayot1k]

i thought the TEggy was quicker around track.
i have a clip with the teggy Vs the Civic type R of course around a track in japan. the civic was alittle slower.

[Civic Type R]

Mind you a lot of those BM vids are bias.
Ive got a big collection of them and a lot of the times differ as per car they're comparing it against :rolleyes:

[VT3C]

Honda Test Info for 0-100, 1400m etc are all with full tank of petrol as far as I know.

plus, u have to wonder for all the factory claimed 0-100 and 1400m tests, are they doing tyre-baking launches, flat shifting, kissing the rev-limiter etc.. plus the tests are performed many, many times and averaged out to a median.

[^_^civic^_^]

hehe, i always read 0-100kph (0-62mph) vti-r times between 7.2-7.5, US coupe, and 7.5-8 for the EK4 hatches.

Yea, when mine was stocker i was gettin around 7.4-7.8 seconds on my g-tech (but thats really 0-60mph)...but nowadays i'm gettin most runs between and 6.9-7.3 with my CAI only...dunno...doubt the CAI that good :confused: , but i think my shifting just got better :p

does anyone know some typical time differences there is usualli between 0-60mph and 0-62mph timez? :confused:

[_CiVIC_]

LOL i remember i once tested my old civic vti ek1 sedan... it took around 10-11sec to hit 100km/hr HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

but now i do it in almost half the time :) ahahaha
