I raced a turbo civic last night. He just got the car back from the builder and got it tuned a lil earlier that night. He put down 305whp and 298wtq. He had a built b18 bottom end with a b16ported head. Tubular exhaust manifold, with a 60 trim turbo. From a 40 i pulled a car then top of third we were even then by fourth he was a solid car and still pulling when we shut down. He was very quick to say the least...but holy turbo lag.

 

Nice run. I ran a very similarly built civic hatch minus the turbo. This guy had a built b18 with all the bolt ons. I only have intake and i was only able to pull about a car on him from 40-95. Those little buggars can be fast.

 

Wow... he made 305 and only pulled a car! Good kill!

 

BULLSHIT!!!! No way a honda put down almost as much tq as hp!!!!! lol

 

Turbo changes the whole game. But i think you were joking anwyays

 

It is a B18... but that is a little hard to believe.

Not on a Honda...

 

idk he said he just had it dynotuned that day, but didn't have a sheet...But all i know is he was fast. And that turbo spool is loud

 

Well I would still love to see one put out as much tq as hp.

 

yeah thats alot of torque for an LSVTEC, atleast in comparison to his HP

he could make those power levels with a 50 trim turbo too not sure why he went so big...would probably be quicker as well

 

to big of a turebo for the set up...go watch some of the vids on youtube of some civics...people wonder why they spin when high RPMS come..starts hitting boost at frick 6 grand...

**** lag

 

Civics can be fast, esp when you turbo them. And they are cheap to do, compared to other cars.
Fortunately for me all the Civics I've ran against had bolt-ons and weren't fast...

Yeah I don't know jack about the B18, or VTEC's so seeing those figures wouldn't look skeptical to me...

 

Good run,

 

While it does seem high... I've seen LSVTEC builds put down weirder numbers.

 

what does lsvtec mean lol

 

LSVTEC = B18 block (non-vtec) w/ VTEC head.
It gets it's name, because the B18 non-vtec block was commonly found in LS model cars.

Similarly;
The CRVTEC is taking an early model CRV B20 and putting a Vtec head on it...
CRVTEC = B20 block (non-vtec) w/ VTEC head

 

haha ok gotcha. apparently ur knowlege of hondas pwns me

 

I've built a few in my days...

 

Oh really. Which head would you recommend putting on the B20.

My Brother-in-Law wants to do a CRVTEC...

IIRC, my friends LSVTEC was a B18 Bottom, B16 Head, and IIRC GSR Cams.

 

easy with all the honduh talk lol jk guy's , good run , im surprised he has that much TQ , but his turbo lag is prolly killing him !!

 

I assume he's going all-motor.

As far as easy... the B16a head is by far the easiest to find and work with, although in stock form it's not going to make the biggest baddest powerplant.

I'm partial to the B18c5 head for power, due to the larger, smoother ports, and upgraded valvetrain. Although, if your in the market for an LS-VTEC build, and you find a complete B18c5, you'd might as well just use that motor, as it yields similar power to the LS-V. For a CR though, you gain the advantage of the extra 0.2L.

 

It's like a whole different language... Must be Japanese...

 

Well and he probably made that torque at a close rpm to his Hp. (up high) Which is a very good thing once you are off the line.
