Project "GET LOUD!"

Recommended Posts

and i reccomended the B-series because they are pretty much the honda universal block (doesnt take much modification to fit a b-series into an A,C,D,E,F engine bay...probably easy to drop into an H enigne bay but why would you want a B-series in an H bay) with lots of power for such small cars. They are also very easy to tune as long as you have a working EMS which can be bought really cheap and are quite prevelant (at least around here).

You are going over my head my man...I get the idea of what you are saying. Any version Civic/CRX motor will fit in any of the same bay.

wasnt saying use one type R....i was saying they are that easy to get loud as phuck in. We where dabbleing in the 150 realm with little knowledge of what we where doing with a crappy battery and crappy power.

i want to see you touching 160's with that type of equiptment :)

60's would kick ass...I am thinking 55-56 range myself...

Well any CRX/Civic/DelSol/Integra/really anything honda, but you have the idea.

Rebuild the carb and play with the timing, if that doesnt get 'er running i say stop by a local salvage yard and find an integra and steal its engine. There are probably 100+ B18 to CRX swap walk throughs on the net. :)

Honda NSX... ;) That is who the NSX is "made by" everywhere else but the US and close contries.

and the B-Series was never used in a USA honda, correct, but it can easily be transplanted into almost any honda. :)

Yes, Honda made the NSX before Acura did...Honda owns acura, just as lexus and toyota, infinity and nissan...Enough with the bickering.

Cause a I have them and the DDs are getting reconed ;) I am not a bandwagoneer...they hold together when abused with 10kw, that is why I use them. The DDs couldnt handle the power, but were louder.

Now...Bad news...car is shot. Its going to cost way to much to get it where I want it. I am going to just bite the bullet and buy one in good shape.

I can understand DD's getting reconed.........I've just seen too many dead MT's due to chitty and/or not dry glue.................they don't impress me at all.

before you do that seriously look into a new engine. I have faith in you and honda engines are the next step after 5hp briggs in mechanical knowledge (its kinda sad and ironic. going from working on a go-kart to working on a bigger enlcosed go-kart)

do a price comparison and pay yourself for labor too in the price comparison. around here running CRX's run 1000-1800 dependin on how ragged they are and what "modzzz" the owner thinks he is selling you. :wacky:

And though i have no first hand experence with the MT's or the DD 9500's or 9900's, the MT's seem to be dominating the competition right now so they cant be a bad choice :).

It just going to cost more to get/keep it running and add to the body pannels then if I were to just go buy a '88-91 body style in good shape.

I've never had one fail. They take the power and are still only being tickled. The DDs failed very quickly.

where are you located anyway?

There is a Geo Metro for 1200 right down the road from my grandparents house. It has been sitting there for a few weeks though and it says negotiable so you could probably talk them down, i was thinking about stopping and takig it for a test drive for my own project loud but unless they would give it to me fore less than $400 there is no way in hell i could do it.
