ok so im talking to my roommate today and he said he rode in an older hatch, im assuming 4th gen but he said he looked under the hood and everything and it was a dual cam vtec engine and the kid said it was a 1.8 liter. So I assumed it was a gsr swap. The odd thing is, he said it pulled really poorly and only had a 4 speed transmission, yes manual. I wasnt even aware of a 4 speed that would bolt onto that engine...

What am I missing here?

 

:eh: :thinking:

 

ME TOO

 

there was a auto b18c in japan that went all the way to redline
but i dunno how many spd

 

you sure it was a B18C?


it was probably an older ZC or D16A from japan that had a 4 speed

 

would the older ZC be vtec tho...he was very sure it was vtec and the owner even said specifically that it was a 1.8L vtec

 

maybe the owner doesnt know what he's talking about :dunno:

 

Thats the only thing I can think of...they were just WRONG

either that or its a 5 speed with really shitty gears.

cause the car didnt pull at all.

 

Could be stroked/bored :dunno: Also, I don't know of any honda ones, but I know there are a couple Saab (and probably many more) aftermarket racing transmissions that have 4 gears instead of five.

 

you need to see the engine code stamp for youself
