jerrodh Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Thats the d16y8 right? If so your terms of quick must be very different than most. Not ragging on the car or you but 100whp doesn't really detail quick for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamEj6 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 ask for like $3k then it might sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Pictures? HOw does anybody ever expect to sell stuff without pictures? Blows my mind everytime. 6000 and 8000 is a pretty big difference. 8000 is way high. I sold my GSR for 8k and it had about the same mileage.

Black93Sol Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 he will never get 6k for that with a single cam...ive seen ek hatches sell for 5k with b series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Also, it will never sell if he can't get his vehicle information right. d16y8 + vtec = EX d16y7 + no vtec = LX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88prelude Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 well i guess it might be vtec he said it isnt and he is a 25 year mechanic lol it is an ex tho but it doesnt say vtec on the valve cover and when i drove it i never felt vtec kick in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slosol Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 the majority of the y8's didnt say vtec on the valve cover, also your not gonna feel vtec kick on a single cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 the majority of the y8's didnt say vtec on the valve cover, also your not gonna feel vtec kick on a single cam You would only "feel" it if the car had an aftermarket exhaust. The sound and the vibration from an aftermarket exhaust changes when it engages but that is about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamEj6 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 dude just look on the block to see what it is. you will never feel vtec in a SOHC unless its built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88prelude Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 ohh well i dont know as much about civics as i do preludes but if it is vtec then more power to it i was told by my friend that it isnt vtec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black93Sol Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 dude just look on the block to see what it is.you will never feel vtec in a SOHC unless its built. on the contrary my friend, I had a civic dx with a stock z6 with no intake and stock exhaust and it was a beast... u could hear vtec kick in hard...and i was beating b16s...

Yea... z6 with no intake would be a modified vehicle. vtec would be more pronounced in sound since you were opening up the secondary lobes and sucking in more air in respect to the amount of air taken in using the primary lobes.

And your grandma was driving the 1994 Del sol, right? Yea... z6 with no intake would be a modified vehicle. vtec would be more pronounced in sound since you were opening up the secondary lobes and sucking in more air in respect to the amount of air taken in using the primary lobes. I think he meant the vehicle had the stock intake box, though I see where you got confused I've driven SOHC vtecs and TBH I didn't feel or hear it. It wasn't THAT pronounced on my B16 until I put my short ram on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elusiveshame Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I'm almost positive the DX's didn't come with VTEC engines... last time I checked my DX, it had a D15b7 engine. As for a stock D beating any B series is impossible, unless 1.) you are one hell of a driver, which I doubt, and 2) the person driving the B series didn't know how to shift or step on the gas. Stock D's are good for one thing - fuel economy, they aren't mean for speed or high performance. You, my friend, are a D series fan boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
