My Ex is slow also and it has like 127hp.. The other night on the Belt Pkwy this guy in a Geo Metro took me :oops: and when he got in front of me he put his caution lights on to show that he won :roll: anyway I would have took his a** but my mother was in the car and I did not feel like hearing her mouth. But there will be a next time! :twisted:

yeah ive decided against the b18 and instead getting a complete swap kit for a b16a for only 2350, which is not bad, so expect new pics of my ride, in about 3 months(have to save up some CASH) with its nice new shiny stang stomper(no offence Turbozinc) engine, im so excited =)

in a heavy sedan, a b16 aint gonna be a stang stomper, unless your refering to v6 stangs. it will be quick tho, figure about what a 99-00 si runs, like a 15.0-15.5

factory si runs ~15.7..... if he gets the jdm b16a, which is what i think he will be getting, he would be looking at similar times in his 95 sedan..... i believe the 95 sedan is lighter than the 99-00 coupe (do not quote me on that), but you have to consider system and 17" rims......

so, mid to high 15's with some practice

good luck, though..... i remember how excited i was when my motor was in the mail on its way to me.... :mrgreen:

im still thinkin low 15's because just about everyone who gets a swap does at least the bolt ons, plus the jdm b16 has the extra 10 ponies to start with. im pretty sure the weight is pretty much the same, but its really impossible to tell without getting both on a scale. and remember a b16 is about 70lbs heavier than the stock d15, so that needs to be taken into account also.

if you transfer all the sensors from the donor car, and you keep your catalytic converter and you wire it all up correctly, there should be no change in emissions. emissions only get messed up when you dont keep the sensors/ have broken ones, use a test pipe, or mess up the wiring.
