This guy was telling me that he can run mid 13s with his CRX. He got an intake cam, mufflers, and tires. He says he has the timeslips and races at englishtown.

After my car gets done i am predicting low 13s high 12s once I get used to driving it.

Check the sig and let me know what you think.

without a poweradder i have trouble believing that his car ran a mid 13. i dunno, CRX with catback and CAI will run around a 16.0-16.4, so that is like shaving 3 seconds off with a cam and tires. i dont think so.

 

sounds like he might be spraying to me. but have u seen those slips, cause if not then i can say my car runs a high 11 (lol im 15 and dont have a car) i say go kill him

 

What year CRX is it? I could believe it if he did a motor swap in a first gen... the '85 was 1750 lbs dry... with about 150 Hp it could probably run 13's... but a second gen with cam should only run low 15's

 

BTW if your engine does produce those numbers at the wheels, a high 12 may be possible with drag slicks.

 

Well, i know of one CRX with intake, exhaust, 5spd with some mods to it , and he was like yeah, I just broke into the 16s.

That guy has tires as his mod I see, wow, good thing he has some tires.

 

He told me the other mods:

Comptech Header <---haha singular
AEM Intake
Apexi Exhaust <--we all know what that means
ITR Cam
Adjustable Cam Gears
B18c5 block <--not the same engine??
PR3 head
B&M Fuel Pressure Regulator
STR High Flow Fuel Rail
Skunk2 Intake Manifold
RC 270cc Injectors
High Flow Cat
DC Sports Short Shifter
Razo Shift ****
Koni Shocks
Progress Springs
Porterfield Brakes
Cross drilled rotors
NO A/C
NO Heater
Fiberglass hood
Car weighs in at about 1800 lbs

Can he get 13s with these on DRs?

 

a different motor is a different story, and I'm not sure what those import codes mean, but 1800lbs is way light, good luck.

Just get your new mods on, and you'll have no problem.

 

I would say he has a good chance

stock the motor is about 160hp

that puts him close to 10lbs per hp


not a bad combo

 

I thought a B16 was 160 horse and B18 was 180 horse. My brother's friend just swapped a B16 into his CRX and I am wondering if he thinks he is gonna walk my Camaro. Camaro being:
350HO crate motor
Hedman Ellite Ceramic Coated Hedders
MSD Pro Billet Distributor
MSD 6A Box
Turbo 350 with 3000 Stall (will have stall when we race)
Posi with 3.73's (will have gears when we race)
Edelbrock Performer Intake for Vortecs
Edelbrock 600 cfm carb
3" pipe back to a bullet muffler

i am not so sure he will. with 103 horsepower he ran a 16.4, so i really wonder if 50 horsepower is gonna get him even deep into the 14's. i dunno.

 

i think this guy has a acura type r engine in his crx, i believe that is like a 6 grand engine swap.. at least around here it is..

that is one fast crx!

my friend runs 15 to 15.3 with his stock honda 1.6 liter dual over head cam non vtec engine swap he paid 2 grand installed at the local import shop...

 

oooo my razo shift **** gives me 10 hp and my sport shifter give me another 15 hp and you know my cross drilled brakes shaves off 100lbs.
omg some of these mods do jack **** for time so why put them as a mod

 

a b-18c is a 1.8 liter and i think is either a gsr or type r motor. a pr3 head is a mystery to me. short throw shifters decrease a drivers' shift time. tires are a mod if they arent doral or touring tires. and just so these ignorant types out here know, i would say its probable that the car is at least mid thirteens. crx's are dogs stock, but with enough work, and this guys list is rather impressive, theyre quick. 1800 lbs isnt a lot to pull around. oh, and if i had to guess id say its probably about 200 horsepower and has pretty bad traction problems.

 

Hold lets do the math.... Stock CRX=High 17s low 18s... CRX with Intake, Cam, and exhaust...high 15s...


Tim:rockon:

 

add in the simple fast that its not a crx motor and you get a better outlook. a b18c is a much better motor than even a b16, and its in a much lighter car than the b18c came in, and i beleive a b18c integra is in the 15's already. add cam, intake, exhaust, and heads, and thirteens is way easy. take your head out of your as* and understand that imports can be fast, just ask rex... and that imports arent always rice. i consider anything withan engine swap a bit more than rice, but this is a major increase in power for a crx. damn near doubled it.

 

you don't read too well do you


if you look


there is a lot more then just a cam intake and exhuast on that car



remember boy read the whole list

 

Honda Civic 3dr coupe
1713 lbs
1984) 1.3L I4 3bbl.....60 hp
1985-87) 1.5L I4 3bbl.....58 hp
1984-87) 1.5L I4 3bbl.....76 hp
1985-87) 1.5L I4 FI.....91 hp

You didn't give a year, but that's the info I have. I hope it helps. But I sincerely doubt he has 150 hp. I look at it this way. My Crown Vic has 150 hp. To ad 59 hp(the amount to break 13s in the CRX) I'd have to get a cam, headers, duals, 4bbl intake and carb, heads, overbore and several other mods to insure I get all of that. It would take some major work in my opinion.
So must it be with his CRX. Has he put ALOT of work into it? If not, burn him. If so, try anyway to burn the little flea of a car.

 

I swear nobody notices a b18c swap on the list of mods. is it just me rex or is everyone thinkin cam intake exhaust on the 1.5 liter? its a damn near 200 horse b-18c

 

What a joke. He gets a car and immediately drops another engine in. Wow, what a car. The only thing that will ever make that car fast- like less than 14 seconds, is its pathetic, puny weight.
I just wish more people would tune cars that are good cars. But, no, it's "this one's lightweight" or "let's put NOS on it". Gimme a break.
Leaving aside my opinion of the car and this form of tuning, here's a thumbs up to the guy for putting that much work and faith into a project. Especially without "steroids". You know, the stuff that can make dirt slow, **** weak engines fast and powerful? Even so, if his car is fast without it, he can spray all he wants to. It just irritates me that people take this **** that can be put on any engine and make their 2000 lb car fast with little hp and pathetic torque originally.
Good work, if the guy has done all of that and maybe I can approve of 1 or 2 of his methods.

 

things that make you go HMMMM....i took those mods to a CRX forum and got this reply


With a good Driver on a nice set of slick's 12's are realistic..

How much HP? roughly 220 at the crank or so.. give or take 10..

 

HMMM

If he has that much power, he isn't going to be anywhere close to slow though.

 

The oinly thing I think he did himself was the intake cam.

In his defense, I emailed him my sig and he emailed me his. Notice I have my interior stuff in my sig. i guess he was just telling me of his whole investment, and interior mods. He hates ricers who don't do **** to their cars. I think with all his work he can get away with listing the shifter and such in his mods. all the non performance mods are in the bottom too.

--Dan

 

well if he really does have a B18c5 motor then i'd say his car would be running pretty dam quick. A B18c5 motor is the Integra Type R motor, which puts out bone stock around 195 hp. So if he really has that motor then yea his times are more than reasonable.

 

Dan:

At the end of it all there's only one way to find out if he can beat you.......

I don't think he will be as fast as be is claiming though with the B18c5 block and the host of other mod's he may be.

 

it's always good to start with a good base for a car

part of the reason I bought a RX7, and also part of the reason I want to get a 90 something MR2. light wieght good packaging and this way I would need to do less work trying to get rid of wieght out of the car to make it handle better and go faster......


then there is always the better gas milage issue as well

 

OPPS Guys, the CRX board i post on, that guy visits :-) and he noticed his mods lol here are his 2 posts



Haha,

That is my car,

I sent that to a guy that is at my school, that is the exact email I sent him.

I have run a 14.48 before, But I have done alot of mods since then as well as clearing all the codes. I think I should be able to hit mid to high 13's on the drag radials I have. Low 13's with slicks.

Oh yea and its the 88 HF.
I just put the Shift **** in there because I am proud of it and it does not look like rice a roni. I kinda figure that the newbie that posted this is a domestic person, because I was talking about going to the track with a 86 camaro IROC Z-28. And he is making fun of the exhaust. Which is actually pretty quiet, not like the fart cans I hear on peoples car that sound louder then they can drive. If you want a ride to see how fast it really is I have tonight off.

there is the link to the post....u gotta join to view it

 

He goes to my school, I bet he thinks I am scared now or something. Well...i ain't scared, but i wanted some professional opinions. The only thing I said about his exhaust was that the other guy here with the same muffler sounds like a weed whacker.


He does have the timeslips, but I am predicting a good race with a little weight shaving.
--Dan

 

Well, if it's an 88 HF, it is a second gen, which means it was probably about 1900 lbs stock (HF was the small engine fuel economy version)... they weren't quite as tight handling wise as first gens... but I would bet he's near the stock weight and handling better with the shocks and struts... stock these cars ran slalom speeds of 64 MPH, and 0-60 for the Si was around 7 seconds.

All things considered the CRX a pretty strong choice in fact, if I were looking for a small import to build up. I wouldn't doubt if he was pushing 220 Hp that he'd run a high 12... but he's probably only making 200 Hp and that would make me guess low 13.

I personally think this is an instance where import was done right... expensive, but well thought out.

I may be biased though, I once owned an '85... 76 Hp baby! and it still ran 0-60 in 10 seconds with a slipping clutch.
