crx w/ b16, I want it to be faster
 

I have a 90 crx si with a b16a, it has a cold air intake, dc sport 4-1 header, straight pipe and 2.5 piping to the tenzo rear section. We put the car on a diet and it only has a del sol seat and its completely gutted. All air conditioning piping has been pulled out, no heater, and underneath the dash is completely empty. The only problem it has right now is the tps sensor is shooting a code, and we haven't gotten fixed yet but don't think it would hurt performance a great deal. The b16a is from an integra xsi, pr3 ecu. We took it out yesterday for a spin, and raced my friends v6 mustang and raped his ass. But when we raced my other friends 95 eclipse gst (he only has an intake, and he had two people in his car, and a heavy ass sound system) and we were even until about 50mph, then he just started taking off and the crx felt like it was struggling. It was a little dissapointing since the eclipse is a heavy bitch, but I guess what else can I add to give us more power. We were going to run a friends 5.0 mustang, and want to actually stand a chance. Thanks in advance

Turbo! :D

Re: crx w/ b16, I want it to be faster
 

get cams...Turbo isnt always your best option. www.jhpusa.com sells different ranges of sick cam shafts. My weapon of choice? Jun Stage 3 or 4 cam shafts with (of course) upgraded valvetrain. You should smoke quite a few cars with that setup...

Hahaha, you finally found out DSM's are beast huh?

Two ways to go: Forced induction, or naturally aspirated.

N/A: I would use the b18c1 block (for sale on dragva.com now) with cams and gears. Shave the head a bit (higher comp.). NO2.

Turbo: What ever that aluminum 1.6L can hold.

ive heard no more then 15 psi on stock internals (tuned).

Re: crx w/ b16, I want it to be faster
 

you can buy my built gsr block...then you will be super fast. Pm me if your interested and I will tell you what I have( It makes more than a stock type r)

Re: crx w/ b16, I want it to be faster
 

That is seriously surprising.


:stupid: Get this.

Re: crx w/ b16, I want it to be faster
 

i have a b16 crx with full interior and ive beat a 5.0 and a gst all i have is exhaust headers and intake besides that its stock it ran a 15 flat in the 1/4 mile when it ran bad befor the headers so i dont know what im running now but i feels better then befor and i raced those cars when it was running bad

Re: crx w/ b16, I want it to be faster
 

Sounds like you have got some problems in your motor or swap. Or maybe you cant drive? IT SHOULD BE FASTER!

Re: crx w/ b16, I want it to be faster
 

Your TPS sensor is very important. Get it fixed.

Re: crx w/ b16, I want it to be faster
 

YEAH BOOST THAT MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!......i gotta td04 that i"ll hook u up on pm me

Re: crx w/ b16, I want it to be faster
 

:stupid: I have no problem with stock GS-T's, and I'm a stock b16a in a Cx hatch.

Re: crx w/ b16, I want it to be faster
 

i feel ya jarrod......i do think a b16....in such a light fuckin car should yank that biotch past any gst....but id still boost it

Re: crx w/ b16, I want it to be faster
 

Well. First he should fix where there is a problem. Honestly.

Then he could either boost it, juice it or build the motor up. If he's on a budget, he could spray it.

I'm stock, and I'm stuck between saving up for a turbo kit, or bolt ons(and doing my suspension setupd) But seriously, he should be able to take that GS-T, with no passengers.

I used to have a Coupe, and even then, I had no problem with stock GS-Ts, and it had I/h/e and other little bolt ons, and this was in a 2500 pound coupe.

So I bet its TPS fucking things up.

Re: crx w/ b16, I want it to be faster
 

id get that tps fixed...and run the FUCK out of it,..make sure its not throwing anymore codes..decide on how u wanna go w/it,BOOST,BOTTLE or just all motor upgrades

Re: crx w/ b16, I want it to be faster
 

Cant remeber what magazine did the article.

But a internally stock B16A2 took 17psi before a psiton fractured at 18psi.

They used C16 to keep detonation at a minimum risk. They used FAST tuning.

I beleive they were using a T3/T4 setup.

Re: crx w/ b16, I want it to be faster
 

Not very safe smart for daily driving,but take off your front and rear bumper reinforcements.That will get you about .2-.4 in the 1/4.If your really serious take out your dashboard,get a die grinder and cut out every peice of excess metal in the interior of the car.Don't get to happy with it though or you could really destroy the integrity of the chassis.Get plexiglass windows.Don't forget the Nitrous.Skunk2 makes a drag launch kit tha will does wonders for 60ft times.Just a few ideas.

the thread was posted back in april? :wtf: I fixed the tps sensor and the car stopped being sluggish.
