Has anyone on this site raced a civic hatch b18 motor? Either ss/sc or ss/tc!!!!
Just like the title sais, has anyone raced a civic hatch preferably an eg hatch that has a gsr motor in it with minor bolt ons?
If so what was the outcome?? |
They can be quick. If the swap is done correctly the SS/SC should have some trouble. A TC shouldn't have much of an issue. The HB has to have a good amount of quality modifications to hang with it I'm assuming. Your average GS-R powered hatchback should be a low 14 second range car. A strong one with those quality mods can dip into 13's very easily. If you race one, ask him about the car and make sure he doesn't sound like he has no clue what he is talking about. You never know what you are going to get with a swapped Honda. You may come across one that runs like ass and smokes like Cheech and Chong, or you might get the Frankenstein with a boner running after Paris Hilton.

thing is haha im buying a hatch that has that motor in it, im just trying to get an idea obviously to refrence how fast that car will be all motor...
thanks for the advice |
i've never raced a gsr swapped honda that was even close to me. normally i put 6-8 car lengths on them, but i have never raced a fully built gsr yet. some hondas can be dirty tho, every ls/vtec swap i have raced has been really close. i also raced a european H23 swapped hatch and he got me by a car. if i were u i would definately do my own swap just so i kno it would be done right. ls turbos are really cheap to do and can be fast as hell. my friend had an ls turbo integra and he could drop it in 3rd goin 70 and white smoke the tires

I have a gsr swapped crx fully bolted there no joke.
|
The gsr is mint, it has perfect compression and had a good leaked down test. It was flushed and all so its goin in...
Lol im not worried about boost yet, I love cobalts and if I could truly afford it I would buy the new one but nah cant I go to college full time so its time to get a older toy thats still mint and is pretty quick |

But im all for performance per dollar and i'd say a swapped civic hatch is a good one as long as it is as clean and well put together as you say. |

Not really. But that's what I like to hear and those are the cars I like! I don't dress my car like a Japanese Christmas tree. It looks pretty much stock other than the height and Koseis. (no lips, stickers, Rotas, or pointless JDM show parts.)
Now on the other hand the ones with body kits and all that extra jazz, they are usually the stock motor'd non-vtec cars that are all show no go. Which goes against everything in the bible i follow [haha :lol:] and the japanese christmas tree comment OMFG thats amazing :lol: :lol: :lol: |
^^^ Yea. There is just NO point whatsoever to spending money on that bullshit. You want to see riced out, my toolbox and laptop. ;-) You will surely find quite a few stickers there haha.

2 Older dudes that work around me that always mean mug the shit outa me got their asses handed to them, Trail Blazer SS, and a new Mustang GT CS. The mustang was just yesterday, wasn't much of a kill so i didnt post it. But i guess hijack and here i go: Mustang is bright orange all done up body kit black racing stripes down the length of the car, dude is hott doggin it next to me with this shit eating grin on his face. At this point i open the electric cut-out and smash the throttle just to let him know im game to hand him his rich ass. We get to a light unfortunately im stuck behind him, he takes off pretty quick and as i start to get over into an open spot next to him he tags the gas, i proceed to nail it as well and easily caught him and passed him by 65, when he had a car length and a half head start. dude let off right as i passed him and wouldnt even look over HAHA! |
I had a civic HB with a b18 claiming 170HP play with me before... i didn't race him just gave it some gas when i heard him winding past me at 9k on the offramp next to me... it did pull on me til the turbo spooled up. he said he has alot done to it and i'd believe it but i really don't think it would have a hope in hell if i really wanted to race him because i've seen him wind it through the gears and although it sounds fast i can tell it's not as quick is he thinks.
