Hey, i am going to be putting in a b16a2 engine in a 1995 civic lx. I have also a magnaflow exhaust (cat-back), a short ram intake, and going to add a lightweight flywheel, and a performance clutch kit. Anybody know how much power this would be pushing? I was thinking around 200 for sure. Cuz the engine itself is 170, but let me know guys.

 

175 crank.
140 to the wheels.

105 lb/ft

Good for mid 13's.

 

I think it would be more than that. The engine itself is 170 so how can a cat-back exhaust, a short ram intake, and a lightweight flywheel only add 5 hp?

 

180 crank if you're lucky. it'll still be a quick little monkey

170 + short ram = 171 or 172

172 + exhaust = 177ish

flywheel = nothing at the crank.

 

the lightweight flywheel will free up a lot of horsepower being used to spin the heavy stock flywheel. So how could this add nothing?

 

it will stll be pretty slow.. maybe 145 or 150 front wheel hp and good for maybe if ur lucky mid 14 sec 1/4 mile time

 

You can't believe HP claims first off. 170 at the crank is good for about 140. Plus your simple bolt-ons are usually only good for +/- 5 hp at the most. Yes you can actually lose hp from your bolt-ons, but pick up some torque. and you lightweight flywheel will help out mostly with your throttle response. That is where you will feel the most gain from that.

 

And yeah I would agree with mid 14's if you are lucky.

 

I've been asking that same question for years now. Honda's are the mystery of the universe.

 

throw it on the dyno and find out.
