This is probably the Newb'ist questions ever...

But how would I get 13's N/A?? Or is that possible? Or could you get better times N/A? Give me a list of mods (w/ a b16a engine).

Thanks for the help guys.

13's NA is definently possible...it requires gutting the entire hatch, b16, header, exhaust, intake, cams, valves, valve springs, rods, intake manifold, and a few others im sure im missing...But by this time you're going to want LSD (Limited Slip Differential) which helps give traction when you apply all this power.


With all that, I can definently see low 13's.

Damn, theres al sorts of stuff you can do to a b16a. But if possible get a JDM B18C. :thumbup: and then start upgrading. Thats what Im gonna do.

reliabilty, as well as being able to drive it daily without the maintainance and tuning that is needed to constantly keep it in peak condition.

NAAAAAWZZZZZZ

I guess you could start with intake, headers, full exhaust.
Then get a chip, do your cams, cam gears, full head work (port and polish, retainers, springs).

Then work on the bottom end with pistons, rods, polished crank.

I'd do drivetrain stuff like flywheel, clutch, tires and wheels. Maybe even gut the interior.

If a CRX it really doesn't take much, that all the mods I can think of off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more.
