Formaz in Perth told me they just fully built a b16a2 engine with stock parts but ugrade the head using Civic type R cams n type R valve springs (im sure they upgraded the ECU too...n it made more power than the b16b engine... i didnt believe it until the staff showed me a dyno sheet comparing each engine.. .. the b16a had a higher power reading than the civic type R engine.
I'll try see if i can get a copy of the dyno sheets n post em on here
Dyno sheet??? haha...
Dyno Sheet doesn't mean anything at all...
If not, find someone with a CTR and race with that car you've mention, and i'll see which side you put your money on...
Friend made low 14s in his ek4, which is quicker than a type R,
Full exhaust, replacement K&N filter, ECU, ITR cams, Semi slicks, Cam gears, HKS suspension.(can't rem the other mods)
Otherwise stock engine. Pity he sold it and got a type R.
Someone on these forums owns the EK4 now though. It got more work later on but he said he never got a chance to run it again.
i said makes more power than a civic type R... not ova take a civic type R cos they have a close ratio gear box with LSD n it will always win the drags!
Also from what i heard unless you get ECU and cam gears the ITR/CTR Cams and valve springs are gonna make you loose power rather than gain. Also the Vtec controller ain't gonna control the fuel map and timing maps which will allow youto make more power.
If it was that easy everyone would be doing it straight away and not buy a Type R.
CTR Cams ($800), Spring ($300), Vtec Controller ($400) that's $1,500. I'm sure everyone would spend that to make their car quicker than a type R cos that would cost around $8-12K (from a b16a model) to a Type R model
making more power on a dyno doesn't mean much, take it to the 1/4 mile track and it will show you what your car can do.
P.S closer ratios do not always mean quicker 1/4 mile times, See the Type R Vid by Best motoring where they run the earlier model type R(4.4 ratio) & later model Type R (4.7) they were equal at the end.
