you want proof okay well here it is...
my buddy has a 95 civic ex automatic 4dr. which just happens to be the heaviest 5th gen made he slapped a turbo kit on it and it would hang with a b18b hatch so he got a swap a b16 to be exact w/ an auto to manual conversion. he still had that d series turbo kit laying around so he port matched the exhaust manifold and hooked it up to his b series motor. what did he run you ask oh only a 14.5 @ 97mph so you take off oh about 800lbs from the 4dr which is the difference from his to mine and slap a d series turbo kit on it i promise 13's
so what i am saying is that your turboed d16 isnt all that great cause the v8's and all the other stuff you boast about beating i can beat too and i have a stock b16 hatch which has a lot more room for potential then your d16 which is almost at its peak.
you are retarded...
first of all, i dont' even think about racing b16 equipped cars unless they are FI anymore because that motor just plain sucks. If you're gonna swap at least do a GSR. Hell i'm beating 5-6 psi greddy turbo SI's so stock internal d16 vs stock internal b16 on the same boost it's 50/50. Anyways...he is only on 6 psi right now, just wait till he goes to 8+ he will be spanking your ass so hard you won't know what you were racing.
I ran a 14.1 @ 99 with a really bad fuel setup and a 2.36 60 foot in a heavy ass 00 ex coupe with leather interior, crucial has a hatch so i guarantee you he will be in the 13's with some more work. Besides apex doesn't even make a kit for the b16 so :fawk: And your friend must be a real shitty driver if he can only pull a 14.5 with a 97 trap, hell my 14.1 was only a 99 trap and my 60 foot was already terrible.
And to rick...what was your 60 foot on your 13.9 run, you are RWD so i bet you have a pretty good launch out of the hole. I'm willing to bet your trap isn't much over 100mph if at all and s2000's aren't very impressive on the highway, i've beaten quite a few from a roll and i only trap between 99 on my old setup to maybe 101-102 now.
