Why is my car so fast?

[SeveerEX]

What up peeps? I have a 1994 Honda Civic EX Coupe D16Z6 Motor. Under the hood is all stock. (As far as I can see!) I was rolling down a local Import spot. My friend has a H22 Prelude(97-98 I believe) and I decided to race him. beep...beep...beeep! We both take off from a 40 roll I smash to 2nd and instant VTEC. I pull on him about half a car and he begins to catch up. If i am right, He should have pulled on me by about 2-3 cars right? WRONG! I kept up with him Neck and Neck ALL THE WAY TO 120-125 Mph ! All I have on my Civi is a Tonabe Exaust, 2.25 Piping and Removed Resonator. (To my knowledge)
He has Cold Air Intake, Apexi N1 Exaust, 2.25 Piping and Carsound Cat. I got mad props after that from everybody that seen the race. What do u think would have to be done to the engine (Internally) to stay up with the DOHC H22 beast? I raced other civics and even a CRX and put about 4 cars on em.

Any details? Is there a way to look and see if the motor is bored?
Can it be a fully built engine?

The car is crazy fast, and I love it 100%! BUT I wanna know why its fast!

factory freak probably. Fellow cc member my_ex_is_faster has a 95 civic ex coupe, d16z6 with a few minor bolt ons, and he hit a 15.6, then he got it chipped and gutted the interior and hit a 15.4

sounds good to me i raced a prelude in my ex civic and i stayed with him the whole time but his prelude was sport shift, i dont know if that makes it any slower and all i had on mine was a intake.

I got it from a dealership. Looked (and still looks) to be all stock!

[SeveerEX]

The reason I ask this is because I do not wanna upgrade my car with mods IF they are already done. I was just looking for a way to look at the motor and TRY to determine where all those ponys are coming from!

 

[SeveerEX]

ill race ya

go to the track and run it ... if you hit a 15 keep moddin the existing engine cause thats an accomplishment.

Take it to a shop that has a DYNO...stock hp for a 95 ex should be 125hp.

anyone who gets 125 hp on a dyno isnt stock. whp and crank hp are 2 different measurements.
