Race: EG Vs EF

[SIKCVC]

Hey guys, tonight on my way home from the twisties I noticed an EF, dumped zorst the rest. SOO I thought I'd give him a run off at the next set of lights. Now I'm not much of a dragger(pretty crappy really) but even still an EF with zorst and airfiler(prosuming)??? ANywho story goes we took off at the lights and I kept about a bonnets length infront reving it to 6500 each gear, we stayed at that up to -20(guess the missing number) then he backed off.
Car profiles(from what I could see).
mine:
EG hatch
advantages
ZC with
cat back and pod
lightweight wheels

disadvantages
HUGE sub box (no boot space) the subs and amp
crappy driver :p

The EF Hatch
Advantages
Zorst
stockie wheels(fair light)

disadvantages
Pasanger
and(SORT OF)
He shifted about 500revs before me each shift.

I wanna know how he could have kept up???
I didn;t hear any Vtec so it doubt it was an Ef-9

I thought he might have the D16a8 as well and just his less weight (then passenger) ment we were around the same weight, if you get what I mean. So it was just a better launch then his early shifting that kept me in front???

whats your thoughts guys?

nah it was a civic :p not a CRX. I'm pretty crappy but still he must have had something decent. The thing i forgot to mention was that we had to turn a corner, as in turning left at the lights, although it was only about a 50 degree turn. i was on the left so i had heaps of room to go wide. My shitty tread ment it started spinning as i went round the corner when it got up around 6.

meh i dun get it but i'll get over it when i mod my car :p then I'll run you ;)

did you both launch the same? He may have done mods you dont know about so you cant really presume it to be stock. Theres heaps he coula done.

[SIKCVC]

thats what I'm trying to figure out? yeah we launched at the same time, pulled though 1st the same then 2nd i pulled a little ahead then it stayed like that till we back off.

well if it was a stock vtec engine, u cant really notice the vtec noise. just a whole lot of engine noise as ur at higher rpms.
u can only really hear it if u change air filter, etc.

well on my accord anyway :D:D:D:D

ZC in EF civic is VERY common swap... friend of mine had done it YEARS ago..

the dual-carb, DOHC ZC was a popular early Honda Performance engine-swap pre-VTEC days.

ZC DOHC from an AUDM CRX will bolt up to an EF HB pretty easy..

[SIKCVC]

thats what I was think, or perhaps a b16a. The car seemed VERY sleeperish, stock looking zorst and stock wheels, nothing fancy AT ALL. so I think he was just playing with me. I feel so used :p never the less if anyone knows him I'd like to check out what he has.

You sure as hell can on mine and it's stock - well - firewall forward you can, I run a stock EF9 exhaust.

BTW - you ran against an ED... EF's are JDM and EEs are European, even though they are the same car - look under the hood of an Aussie '88-'91 and you'll see JHMED as its VIN

They weigh a fair bit less than an EG in the first place and the motor in stock form is 98bhp - and you wonder why it was pretty quick? ;) A stock B16A powered EF or ED will smoke a stock EG unless its an 170bhp EG6 SiR so I doubt that you were up against one :)
