Which is faster? A stock FD Civic or a B18C2 EG?

[Glocker]

Am curious to know which car is faster (straightline and cornering)? Lets say they had the same bolt ons (intake, headers and exhaust) and are manual rolling on 17in (for FD2) and 15in (for EG)... Lets hear your viewpoints and arguments in this.

Compare the lap times & 1/4 mile using same driver for both cars and you have the answer

hmm. i think the eg could beat it.
just cause its much lighter.

EG will eat it

is this a serious thread?

Serious thread is serious!
The Eg will be faster, and better around corners in the dry because its so light.
In the wet you would have more weight to the ground in the Fd so you wont wheel spin so much at take off and less likely to fall off the road around corners.

even an ek sedan with a b16a will eat an FD2 on straight

wouldn't the extra grip given by the weight be offset by the fact that it takes more force to change direction/speed, meaning all else being equal, the heavier car will handle worse, even in the wet?

I think you're misunderstanding the concept of traction - more traction comes when a vehicle has more weight over the wheels - yes the FD able to put more power down, but that power is required to accelerate the car

maximum horizontal force = vertical weight distrbuted to the wheel x coefficient of traction x whatever other coefficients
if say, a vehicle weighs double, i thas twice as much traction.. but also needs twice as much force to move at the same rate as the lighter car

i hope that makes some sene

also note the engien specs: the stock FD comes with either
K20Z2
Found in:
2006- Acura CSX (Canada)
2006- Honda Civic (JDM)
2006- Honda Accord (Europe)

or
R18A1
Found in:
2006+ Honda Civic (JDM FD1, American/Canadian-market FA1 and FG1)
Displacement: 1,799 cc (109.8 cu in)

VTEC for economy 1500-3000rpm

they're not performance engines at all. The R18 civic weighs just under 1180 and the k20 civic weighs 1260... you do the maths on your egg


oh and wtf is a b18c2 lol . maybe that's why i thought this wasn't a serious question

Idk how fd2s compare to fn2's but I blew a stock fn2r away. Like pulled a car and a half in 2nd fro
60 and same again in 3rd and was still driving away from it

no. just...no.




Eg will flog it in every way.
