this thread should be locked in a dark room and the key should be thrown away! i'm sorry but if u dun know what v-tec is then either don't say anything and wait for a post explaining it or just do a god damn search! not to mention... spell it right... plz just spell is right...
1/4 mile times
- Thread starter steamed-rice
- Start date
Hi retards and non-retards....just kidding! ;-)
I'm brand-new on this site and read "1/4 mile times" with pleasure (it was -how can I say- 'funny').
Anyway, ClubCivic.com seems to be a very frequented and good site, so you'll hear more from me in the future!
My ride (an EG6, for most or some of you this code 'will ring a bell'. My hatch is rather stock ... I only made some minor changes) can be looked at on http://www.cardomain.com/id/myreddevil ... feel free to have a look and tell me what you think!
Take care!

dirtyd is right, to get vtec on a non-vtec motor you need to swap in the head from a vtec motor (such as d16z6) and an ecu that can handle vtec operation. (I dont know if you can put a d16 vtec head on a d15 block, but pretty sure it will go onto a d16 block)
For the love of god, dont any of you buy spoilers because of it's "performance potential." LIke dirtyd said, it's a FWD car and you don't need downforce on the BACK. Think about it.
If your transmission and all of your shifter bushings are in good condition, a short shifter will only help a little. Despite what fourdoor92 said, there are no drawbacks to shifting faster.
One final note: even if you get a new head for the motor, vtec won't kick in until around 5k rpm. So before you even consider it, make sure your engine is healthy enough to rev to about 7k.

HECKA, LOL
I don't have any experience with computers that plug into your ecu, but on a stock car, vtec engages at about 5000 rpm. Don't mistake this with the beginning of your power band (mine kicks in at about 4300).
My 95 si hatch (d16z6) has a stock 1/4 mi of 16.33.
Keep in mind this is a 125hp vtec motor in a 2390 lb car.
So depending on the quality of your intake and how far you revved before shifting, your non-vtec 4-door could possibly do it in 16.2 (which is still really slow
) Either that or your computer is off.
GET A SWAP!! b16 or b18

OMG n00bs (this is my last post on this thread, I swear)
VTEC is a feature of some Honda engines which describes how it handles power output at high rpms.
The specifics are still a bit hazy to me, but at 5k rpm something happens where your camshaft(s) allow more air into the combustion chamber (and gas too I presume) and thus you get a substantial gain in power from the resulting bigger explosions. It's more complicated than that, but it's a start. Vtec has NOTHING TO DO WITH FUEL.

mine>>>34.6.....lol j\p its a lil faster prolly
Wow, this thread has gotten insane and I'm going to try to talk some sense into it. Not that I know all the answers, but I've done some homework on these things....
GTech Pros are decently accurate. They're ok for giving you an idea of how fast you'd go, but never quote how fast you are until you get your ass to the 1/4 mile.
16.2 seems to be a little optimistic. I ran 16.7 in my D15B7 powered hatch with short ram intake, header and full exhaust at 1700 feet alt. In a car that weighs more than I do with fewer mods, I fail to see how it could be faster than I was, even at sea level.
I'm still sorta new to this forum, so I pray those who claim to not know what VTEC is better be kidding. I understand the desire to gain knowledge, but don't throw crazy ideas out into the open unless you know what you're talking about. Some might actually take you for being serious!!!!!

This entire thread was the funniest thing I have ever scene(ignorance)...All i can say 2 you people is research and not just on this site ...the entire web,there's tons of info for those willing to learn if you have questions you can also ask me i have done tons of reasearch and worked on several honda build-up projects including my own civic.
wow these cars are SLOW
:Im sorry, but this whole thread is pathetic and should die. Well, OK, now i have a new quote for my sig at least! Thanks Mr. VTECH!!!
