Question concerning HP gains, and if i can hang with a b16
- Thread starter Suanico

WERD....My B16 put down 155whp and 115lbs to the wheels with intake,headers and exhaust with a slippin clutch and ran a 15.6 at 98mph.I dont think a Y8 would keep up with just a few mre bolts ons.MY boys boosted Y8 at 7psi put down 175 whp and 173lbs ran a 14.6 at 102mph and he could have put down more but his car was running really really rich needed to be leaned out more.So.......that should explain if u wanna beat or keep up with most B series engines either juice up or boost it.If thats your goal i would save my money for a swap or boost leave the Y8 stock for nowKing Bob said:
why does everyone hate on d-series. anyways, since you all say d-series is only good, with turbo. then lets hear your ideal d-series setup, be specific.
I f**kin hate on b-series, I have the vids to proove it 
Hate dosent make a stock D slow and love dosent make the b fast (potentialy), Its simple fact the best way to imporve the performance of a d is to boost it but even so you will hit the performance wall much sooner in a d than in a b, hence the reason most people swap.thexperiment said:

naw bro trust me bro...this one night my cousin with the 94 civic was telling everybody how he hangs/beats tegs all day...so we all decided to go out to the country and race...i have 5 people to back me up who are all roomates... there was the 94 ex coupe i/h/e gutted ps and A/C, 91 LS 4-door with i/h/e,92 LS 2 door with intake,93 2 door LS converted to a GSR even with a b17 i/e, another 92 LS 2 door with i/h/e, another civic ex coupe but a 93 with i/he, and a Eg with a b16...not sure what he had but he smoked everybody...all night the 94 ex beat everybody except the EG....we were all cracking up like crazy...i'm not saying every D can do this but with a good driver there is hope...defvayne said:
Alright check this, i know everyone is flaming on me, but i was just asking a simple question, everyone says to swap, but i bet for the $2200 a b16 goes for i can get my single cam to tear on a b16, I do also have another questions, my mechanic said he would swap a super clean complete 99 LS swap in my car, labor and all (with receipts and everything) in trade for my Y8 motor and tranny (header, intake and pulleys too) plus $900 is that worth it
shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, my d-series hangs with b16's.
its all about the driver.
its all about the driver.
I agree with alot of people regarding this thread. IMO (from what ive read, and researched) the best thing to do is boost. I would agree with doing SOME engine mods after, or before to ease strain of boost. Even though the d series is a very tough engine, it wouldnt help to add better pistons or cams. But like Bmoua mentioned. How one drives is a very big part of it. Im a fairly new driver, and ive been beat by people in slower cars simply because they were better drivers. Ive realized that learning to drive your car as if it was an extension of your body adds virtual HP. JUst my two cents though
boo
I can out run my friends 05 si, not bragging , i have considerable amount of things done to my d16. sri, dc header, short shifter, megan driftspec exhaust, 12lb act flywheel, exedy stage 1 street clutch. I rape him on the launch then in 3rd we're dead even, and he only has Intake , buddyclub short shifter ( 131whp).
terbo and build will be soon. i like sohc 
simple and cheap. A ls has like 10 more hp, but they like boost so i think ls would be another good choice in swaps, then ls/vtec / turbo . thur quick Oh and if you arent wanting to swap, get you a comptech cam ,and valve springs, i hear that's a good 14whp, plus tune with cam gear, very good gain, that plus edlebrock manifold with long runners, is hawwwwt.
but that's a kseries, ive never raced a b16

sohc = sex
i have no problem hanging with a b16 thats stock or like most of them basic upgrades. but if your looking to run with a build b16 you have to boost, trubo or what lm doing this winter j/r superchargerbizoneoeh said:

my stock EJ8 can hang with my cousins 4-door GSR...(mods-intake)...i hang with him untill early of 3rd gear...but i;m a better driver than him....ej8ster said:I can out run my friends 05 si, not bragging , i have considerable amount of things done to my d16. sri, dc header, short shifter, megan driftspec exhaust, 12lb act flywheel, exedy stage 1 street clutch.

Single cams have potential mine smokes 99-00 Si's with basic bolt-ons like I/H/E and keeps up with GSR's and i've only lost to an 05 RSX-S with CAI by like 1 and a half.....so just think about it the SOHC isn't that bad of a engine its more like the underdog! Just get intake,header,exhaust, a b-series throttle body and a good clutch and flywheel and you'll be happy! just like driving a stock GSR! Believe me!
