My plan for my hatch

By fresh eh2*
- Mon Oct 15, 2007 4:46 pm #26542 ok i plan on ordering a JDM B16A from Hmotors.
I plan to throw some skunk2 stage 1 cams
ITR TB and intake manifold
maybe some F1 headers
whale penis intake
exhaust
i also plan to take it to a tuner to give it a good tune.
what kind of times do you guys think this would make in my hatch?
i saw a few 99-00 si's at the track on saturday and they were hitting 15's....do you guys think i will hit 15's on my set up? if so i will prolly forget about this set up and do somthing else. what do your guys think about my set up overall? good? bad?

anyway, that was on a standard ECU with a chrome bass map and road tyres.

Specially now that my tranny broke.

Short block - $400
Head - $400
Tranny - $400

Cheaper than a complete swap.

- Thu Oct 18, 2007 4:29 pm #26848 plans sound good! I have seen some pretty quick civics with that engine. Should get low 15's or high 14's for sure.

- Fri Oct 19, 2007 6:46 pm #26939 Also depends on the trim of hatch you have. Definitely harder to hit high 14's in an Si hatch like mine (sunroof, PS). If you have a CX or VX should definitely be able to get there. You'll always want more though! :D I would swap the B16, and save the rest of the money you want to spend on mods for a minor turbo kit! :thumb: Kinda what i did, but i started with a B18b.
