my little modifyed vtec honda city 650kg @ 130kw
well people its time i show off my little car, basically my car is a 1992 honda city import, and i got lucky to get the highest version available which has features like power windows/sunroof/steering/windows and not to mention being factory injected, but the real bummer is the factory engine, only rated at 50kw its weaker then the civic breeze engine, d13c vs d13b, however due to the weight compaired to a civic (1000kg+) the little engine flys, but i wanted to go faster to in the world of modifying cars, which i have modifyed heaps of hondas in the past, some of you might rememeber my vtec dual carb or some other crazy thing i thort up with in the past, anyhow i decided to put in a civic jdm d15b engine, rated at 100kw., twice the power of the factory 50kw, now if you think about it, a integra has 140kw give or take. thats 140kw @ 1200kg, and if im pushing 100kw @ 600kg thats like 200kw @ 1200kg, in other words this little car would blow the doors off a integra. anyhow, so i decided that i want to work this engine,so originally i installed it still using the factory d13c intake and exhaust to make things fit, but i found this way to restricktive, so i started off with a rebuild, and ordered some forged pistons from ebay america, getting the zc pm7/p29 would heavyly increase my compression, as sourced from dseries http://www.d-series.org/forums//showthread.php?t=21761 which explains the mods you can do to make your little sohc vtec make the same power as a b18c. yes that sounds crazy but not impossible. so i got head work done,and rased the compression ratio to 11.5 cr, not to mention getting some decent extractors, and modifying my intake manifold using the jdm vtec one, now comes the computer issues which im chipping and remapping the eprom, while using a datalogger made out of a nokia usb cable. http://forum.pgmfi.org/ my aim is to make a good 130kw out of this engine, and dont forget this, 130kw out of a sohc vs the b series, well we all know the b series is heavyer due to the dohc and block design, the bigest challenge was to fit the engine as its very close to the firewall and the rail, i had to smash out the sides alittle to make it fit, i think ive somed it up, enjoy.
