what does a 94 civic tech with a manual trans. run in the 1/4 with a catback , cai, and short throw shifter? thanks

 

I would say mid 15s to 16s. I think with your combo (if you plan on racing) you would kill that car with ease!

 

yea , i am thinking about shutting this guy up

 

Yea, you will definitely take the civic. Long time ago I raced for the heck of it against a coworker's 95 civic vtech manual with exhaust and CAI, and he only beat me by a car from A ROLL!

And I have just a 3.1 auto

 

You shouldn't have a problem at all. I was once at a stop light and I was behind these two cars. One was a 96-97 civic VTech and the other was a 2001 V6 mustang. When the light turned green the v6 mustang smoked his ***. and I ended up catching the mustang and passing him from the second row. You shouldn't have any problem at all.


Good luck

 

You want to know what is sad? The new Si makes less hp than the previous gens.

 

thanks guys, he is coming over in about 30 minutes so we can run, i will update you.

 

well...my buddy chickened out, said maybe tomm, so i will let you guys know

 

Figures.

 

Is it DOHC or SOHC? The SOHC cars run like low 18's and with his mods he might be able to run a high 17. If it is DOHC then a high 15 or low 16. Either way you will stomp him. Let us know what happens.

 

pretty sure its the dohc...i will keep you guys updated

 

Vtechs are DOHC... if you can find a SOHC vtech.. ill give you a dollar...

 

I'm petty sure they make an sohc vtec motor. A girl i used to date bought a new civic with a v tech motor, but it was only sohc.

I want my dollar now

 

So no, v-tech does not mean dohc, as i have just proven that there are sohc v-tech engines. Now where is my dollar?

 

no where in there does it say that there are sohc vtech's ... it says w/o.. but i dont see where it says w/ one... give me more then that man... You know what VTECH means right?

EDIT...
OOPs... well its new so i didnt know about it... SOHC VTECH

 

its in there man 92-95 with 16 valve vtec SOHC...pay the man

 

How could you have 16 valves on a SOHC??.. but i did say i found out that there is a SOHC one... So really.. you didnt find it.. i did... sorry man.. no dice... i looked up and down that sheet.. i didnt see any 8 valve SOHC vtec... but i did find it somewhere else... looks like i got a dollar!

 

its cool, thats what this site is all about, learning things. I didnt know either until a girl i used to date bought one and wanted me to check it out for her and i found out it was vtech but only sohc.

 

hey, if you go to the gathering in MD.. ill give you a dollar then ok? hehehe... Thats crazy.. i only thought that VTEC would work for a DOHC cause of the variation of the valves... oh well ...

 

lol, you can keep the dollar. I was just messin with ya man, its all good.

 

Enough Honda talk, back to the race. Did anything pan out? I suprised you were iffy about the race.

 

i am not iffy, just curious what they run. i have handed many imports their asses. dude keeps putting the race off. so, who knows man, guess i will just save some gas money.
