B16b or B18c7

^ thats a pretty blatant and obvious fact there espcially about b18c7's running mid 13's dont know where you've been simonnowis but 13's with b18 motors is starting to get common

a stock b18c7 cant easily run mid 13s, barefootbonzai's EK+B18c+ITB etc.. said he ran mid 13s. so ur saying with the b18c7 alone he can do mid 13s?

heres a thread on some 1/4mile times, and all the b18c7 cars ran 14s

any proof u have where ppl with stock b18c7's ran mid 13s?

We have done it twice in two different chasis. (EG and Dc2R) Two different B18c7 with the same bolt-on mods with ECU and tune.. Both did 13.6 with circuit semi slicks..can achieve low 13's with proper racing slicks

[markoJEK1]

I never said a stock b18c , I understood you saying that a b18 cannot get 13's what so ever hence my saying what i did

mate also k20a doesn't automatically run 12s...bolt on with average driver = mid 13s max...

[simonnowis]

then how does yonas's eg with stock k24a with bolt on run 12s, ask him urself

[Benson]

Yonas k24 is modified... the motor is kinda stockish, but has the quality bolt-ons and tune. Yonas's car is very light and he runs it with proper slicks.

[xtercii]

yonas has done over 400 passes and he weighs less than 40kg...

wow off-topic...

firstly to OP, if fuel is your concern then a 12s car isn't

B16b would be the better option if you can get it significantly cheaper for obvious insurance/engineering/rego reasons... get b18c crank/rods later when you can afford it as they will go straight in a b16b block

[Limbo]

insurance wise dsp is right the insurnace companies wouldn't know the difference, but an ek4 is $2k for full insurance anyway.

In relation to engineering, a b18 would be around $650
pm me if you want the details

as said we ran mid 13's quite easy with bolt-on on a b18c7. With slicks possible high 12's if not low 13's. I remember seein a MELB EG with b18c with bolt ons(quality products) running high 12's with slicks.

SO YES ITS POSSIBLE.....

As for k20 swap in civics, don't be shock if it runs mid 13's to low13's.

with no mods and real everyday street tyres it isnt possible. high 13's yes but not much lower.
Once you chuck on stickier tyres and start putting mods on to let the engine breathe and work better THEN you see the "average" VTEC 1/4 mile every harps on about.
Point is , name me anyone here with a stock b18c7/c (no bolt on or engine mods) in a eg hatch that is running "13's". I hope to hit high 13's but thats it.
