MustangMuscle86 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Okay,straight off the bat,I don't like Imports.I probally will never buy one unless I am in some financial trouble and need a car and an Import is the cheapest.Yet,I want to learn about some stuff. Okay,can someone explain to me the racing engine stuff.I know the VTEC that comes in the cars are not race engines,they are fuel economy engines.So explain to me the difference ebtween the racing engines you cans wap in.People talk about all these letter engines (i.e b16) and I jsut don't understand.I jsut wanna know what a few of ym friends and all the tuners are tlaking about.

accordracer07 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 ! you dont like r imports!?! ur such a domestic ricer! VTEC is a turbocharger for r engines stock, they put out a ground shattering 200HP and nothing to play with, i pulled on an LS1 with mne teh other day! u can even use them on mustangs to mke them atlst a lttle bit fast!

bossshinoda Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 B18A2 swap would be a b series 1.8 liter engine swap. Most swaps are for more displacement and lower compression for boost. But the main thing to focus on is a big nice wing and body kit. and don't forget the 4 12" subs and amps that weigh 250 lbs to help with traction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..SSR.. Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Actually VTEC is used in racing engines. See RTR Integra Type R and RSX Type-S. Look at all the Honda Challenge H1 guys, they are all VTEC. Only guys that aren't VTEC are some of the drag racers. They get big cams, grind away the primaries, and use either Phantom Grip or Crane rocker arms. There are a bunch of turbo guys running the Crane Roller rocker cams as well. No such thing as a B18A2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossshinoda Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I meant 1.6. So whats the point in swapping in an integra engine, lower compression? I mean, is the rotating assembly built better? Or does that get swapped too. My buddy tries to explain but he's more into rims and stickers and crap. I don't think he knows much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Civic = 1.6, either 106, 127, or 160bhp. Integra = 1.8, either 140, 170, or 195bhp. The B18B from most Integra's has the same CR as the 106 and 127hp Civic's. People usually just swap them because of the better torque. Try searching next time.

bossshinoda Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Then what is this site for? Bashing people because they're not as "knowledgeable" as you in imports? To me that just shows why i'll probably never own one. Stuck up pricks like you. *Goes and gets a kleenex* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 No. This stuff is pre-school crap though, it has been beaten to death^18. Go to any Honda forum and they will tell you to search. I also don't feel like telling everyone everything when they aren't even going to get a Civic to fix-up. Even Ford has a variation of VTEC now.

MustangMuscle86 Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 But SSR,if I have no clue about Imports,a search isn't going to be much help if I don't even know what the engine is called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossshinoda Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 No, he just thinks his import is gawd of all vehicles. And he is too good to talk to people who normally drive domestics. But in reality, he is just scared of what a mildly bolt on GT would do to his ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Hmm, common sense says "engine, VTEC, 1.8, etc." My car isn't anything special, my driving is. I don't care what a bolt-on GT can do. I don't drag race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossshinoda Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 So does that mean you street race? I don't mean to drag out a pointless thread, but I just don't see how you can just make assumptions about people who haven't said anything to you or anyone else.

..SSR.. Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I don't street race either. I do SCCA Solo-II autocrosses and various HPDE's. I'm not making assumptions about anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossshinoda Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Ok. I really don't race either, in fact I have no idea what you just said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
