possible low 13 sec EG with b16a?

[Sexc86]

boost your b16 with a quality basic turbo kit... should see low 13s for sure..

[iijjee]

Hey I'd love a turbo kit! But your know any decent 4 cyl. with a decent turbo can run a 13! How many NA 4 cyl. can run a 14? When I pull away from my mate's BA XR8 Ute (260+kW) at the lights in my NA Civic, it's quite a satifying thing! Honda has its reputation for engines for this very reason.

Turbos are awesome! I have owned a few and currently have a 240+kW turbo Stagea which would take my civic down the 400, but I know which one gives the bigger grin...!

If I had the $$$, I'd K20 it before turboing - no competition!

[Sexc86]

are you after the "wow look what i can do" factor or the "value" factor... That seems to be the question.

[iijjee]

If you ask Honda.... simple answer! Achievement before Easy Option!!!

[Sexc86]

Yes well.. the thred is asking is it possible to make EG b16 do low 13s...

NA = Slicks, hardcore weight reduction, A full NA internal build (cams, valve train, Pnp, High comp pistons etc etc) + all quality bolt ons.. not to mention ability to put the power to the ground (gearing + lsd) and suspension setup well, as well as shitload of practise and good luck

Boost = most likely a Good quality bolt on turbo kit + a Decent tune

a Na b16 (keeping 1.6 displacement) build will probably cost you twice that of a boosted bseries setup

This is IMO, any feel free to disagree with me.

B16 with internal build, weight reduction, handling, slicks, and good driver certainly can reach low 13sec IMO. I don't have the experience but some already proof it. And I rather stay NA with b16 and if an option for putting in turbo come, i will just think about K series

I love NA on Honda, but yeah I love turbo's on Nissan

I reckon its doable on b16a EG. But how much budget do you wanna blow ?



here is an example of 11 sec B16 CRX :

Anything is doable... just depends how much money you want to throw at it... But then comes in the value factor (a different path could get you there cheaper).. If your just specifically chaseing 1/4 times

You will struggle to get even into the high 14's in an EG

Stripped EF8 will get you into 14.7/8 with a decent set of tires

You could go extreme on the stripping and remove all the AC/Condenser/Fan assembly from under the dash; much more than that you would have to start cutting the car up but that will make it redundant for street

Theres an EG in New Zealand that runs a K series with honda internals and ITB's that pulls 11s with a cut up chassis

???? Sure about that mate? We did 13.9 on DOT approved street semi slicks. These are not even on drag radials yet. With slicks, 13.5 is very achievable.

Our car still have all the required accessories to make it a legal street car. only the P/s and a/c been removed. Heater core is still there for winter comfort

[Drew]

But whats been done to the motor?

[Benson]

CTR cast pistons, arp rod bolts, b18c head with ITR cams with valve springs to suit the 9200rpm rev limiter. Then the usual bolt-ons I/h/e plus euc and tune. Simple mods nothing to dramatic.
