civic_crazy91 Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 I want to build an engine...I want it as a daily driver, but i also want to race the crap out of it...but then after the races drive it home with no problems...so what engine would be the best and how should i build it...I'm open to all opinions. Thanks
Humphries Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 haha b18b1 turbo i never heard anyone say "im gonna race the crap outta my car"
civic_crazy91 Posted February 17, 2007 Author Posted February 17, 2007 Well i like SPEED...and i will be racing every weekend...drag racing
Rick B. Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 get a gsr swap, put a skunk2 intake manifold on it, and larger throttle body, and a cold air intake. that will be enough
cranny Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 set of pistons too maybe. get your compression up. dont build a turbo car for circuit.
Humphries Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 lol bolt-on gsr would be the laughing stock of the Drag strip
Rick B. Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 you have no idea what youre talking about ebp. my gsr only had bolt ons at the 1/8 mile strip here in san diego and it did very well. i had quicker 1/8 mi tmes than the single cam turbo civics. bolt ons on a gsr really make a big difference. chubs can tell you the difference he felt when he got his skunk2 intake manifold. A 9.3 on a 1/8 mi is a good time and i got it with steelies.
Humphries Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 single cam turbo civics are not fast. 13 seconds is not fast.
CleanGSR Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 I was about to say.....Single Cam turbo? Unless it's fully built, it would also be slow.... If it was fully built, a bolt on GSR wouldn't come close to it.
Ben. Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 single cam turbo civics are not fast. 13 seconds is not fast. Not at all. My buddy's k20 eg is running sub 8's in the 1/8th mile on catback, 70 shot and dr's. By sub 8's I mean 8.09 and whatnot.
Rick B. Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 ebp, does your civic run a 13 sec 1/4. if it doesnt, then 13 secs is fast compared to you.
Ben. Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 ebp, does your civic run a 13 sec 1/4. if it doesnt, then 13 secs is fast compared to you. Wonder if it's in the 14's.. Seriously though. I've never asked.
CleanGSR Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 A bolt on I/H/E SI, will take a really good driver to break into the 14's. My del sol had (essentially) the same motor, less weight with those 3 bolt on's and I bet I was running about a 15 flat. Maybe high 14 with a great launch.
Ben. Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Gah I strongly dislike the b16.. The only things I've ever had FROM a b16 were a head on an itr block, with supertech valvetrain and itr cams..and b16 tranny on that motor/head combo.. Ran pretty damn good..14.1 and 14.0 on dr's. And that was in a '92 hatch.
Rick B. Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 my gsr civic had no problems hitting mid to low 14s with the im, tb, cai, header, exhaust, and vtec set at 4800rpms. this was also with a jdm tranny.
Humphries Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 my brother and i got the same time me-14.967 him-15.002
Rick B. Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 case and point. 13 seconds is faster than you.
CleanGSR Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 my brother and i got the same time me-14.967 him-15.002 I'm not calling BS, but I would like to see your timeslip. Curious as to what your 60', etc... was.
SolLesHonda Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Billy, sorry man. SI's are not fast and wouldn't run 14's with your mods. All you have is an intake. Your suspension isn't necessarily helping you either. Only mods you have are intake and painted valve cover, right? And to Rbolander who said single cam civics are slow, unless built, that's the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. Many SOHC's are stock making 200-280whp. They would eat any GSR swapped civic alive - with bolt ons or not. GSR civics run mid-high 14's.
CleanGSR Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 I'm the one that said they're slow unless they're built. Show me a 280whp SOHC on completely stock motor that's lasting any decent length of time.
SolLesHonda Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1722429 How's 300+ for you? Lol. I have tons of threads I have seen and I personally know many people around my area who have SOHC turbos stock (excluding ARP's) making 230-260whp daily for years and years.
