with I/H/E, cams and gears and a piggy back ECU you can get around 90kw@wheels - about thesame HP as a stockish B16A.
as I said - with IHE and good driving you can already get 15s out of a CRX. Put some other mods like suspension and tyres and you got mids... anything extra will just lower your time with good driving.
B16As can run 14s with good mods.
hehe... a good WRX driver will leave you for dead in the first 50 meters LOL.Quote:

If I can get mine into the 14's I'll be happy. A small (8psi) boost setup should work wonders :D
just the stock Y1 gearbox with LSD. some of the synchros are worn and grind at high revs but even if it was rebuilt i doubt it would help me close the gap. the engine is fine also.
u keep up with them off the mark or rolling? off the mark i dont have a chance, rolling maybe but like i said before, b16a dont have the torque of a wrx. from my experience i wouldnt tell someone looking to buy a stock gen2 crx that they could keep up with wrx, skylines etc
so like sinistr said, if the wrx drivers have any idea what they are doing they will leave u for dead.

another thing to keep in mind - if you don't mind 'hunting' for mod parts then D16A8 is a good engine. B16As are obviously a bit better supplied out in the world of mods.
if a WRX or Skyline driver - knows how to launch his car, the race is over sooner than it even started.
yeah have to agree with qstoria on this one with out a turbo, serious work or k20 wrx will dominate even with a bad driver in the wrx they pull to hard down low for the b16 i have raced a stock 98 rex and an 06 rex same result get like a car and a half off the mark thne pull away slowly but surely admitantly the race didnt go for long due to a red light but i could see what was going to happen. OWNED give it 12 motnhs and ill get infront of them VTEC YO
To throw another spanner in the works, this all stemmed from this reply i got from a CRX seller
---------------------------------
Before Chip
Max Power 61.5kw @ 6440 RPM
Max Torque 315.9Nm @ 2951 RPM
After Chip
Max Power 70.0kw @ 6817 RPM
Max Torque 334.6Nm @ 3085 RPM
---------------------------------
This sounded a bit low so i went searching, what to you guys think of this. He said the chip made a big difference to the power. he also said that was power at the REAR wheels, :confused: go figure?
what chip is this?
if its a Unichip Gold 98 or something like that - yes - you can get improvement over stock but they won't tune the chip for anything other than a generic brand of intake, headers and exhaust.
I won't even say anything about the 'rear' wheel power thing but if thats the case it sounds dodgy. Its not off Ebay is it?
I think he said PowerChip, its apparently programmable and what not. ive decided not to go with the car for other reasons anyway.
and no not off ebay, im not that silly, um just carsales or carpoint or one of those.
what do you think about only 70kw after the chip & IHE though. you said about 90kw wont be much trouble with basic mods, has he read the dyno sheet wrong?
PowerChip Gold is about $500+ and yes its programable but only for certain things - they won't tune for cams or gears etc.
I said about 90Kw shouldn't be much of a problem but not just with IHE and a chip - you need Cams and cam Gears and a good tune - more like a piggy back SAFC or VAFC, Hondata or Emanage.
120HP@wheels (90Kw) is only achievable with Cams/Gears and ECU.
70KW (100hp) is good for stock car with IHE and chip. Its achievable. I've got about 76Kw (102hp).
