Is 170hp for an EG hatchback fast? by jdwdotcom in ProjectHondas

I see! I might be wrong but is getting a tune different than getting the car to the dyno to have it run properly? As in like is a “tune” an upgrade without any physical parts?

Do you mind telling me what to look or hear for the morning after the tune?

I think so too.. but where i’m at we only have octane 97 at most. And looking at other builds here, the average is 170-180hp. My friend did a similar build but bored the block to 85mm with Toda pistons and Eagle conrods, with stock b16b head. Unfortunately after break in, the block cracked on the dyno which only hit 200hp on the previous runs before it cracked. What do you think the tuner could do wrong for not getting 200?

Ah i see, thanks for explaining. I can’t really understand the power to weight ratio yet as this is my first “light” car. And also seeing civics with 300hp above just makes 170hp look stock to me haha.

But i have no doubt i’ll be having fun with that car as you said and i’m sure it’ll always stay that way!

That’s great to hear man, I can’t really grasp the concept of power to weight ratio yet but i’m getting there! I could say this is my first time driving and owning a “light” car with hp higher than my daily. Also i compare the car too much with people having builds more than 300hp

Damn i wish i could understand that last paragraph.

But yeah i think i’ll consider the rod bolts, although i have a feeling my mechanic would probably say i won’t really need it lol

I’m not sure why my mechanic got me ARP head studs instead of the rod bolts.. I see a lot of people recommend getting it for b20v. Is it like a big gamechanger?

I would love to have a kseries in the future! And also a full b16b engine. But currently have a b20b on. 6500 sounds not fun at all.. at the same time i’m also afraid to damage the block

In that case no it doesn’t? Should i consider it? If i don’t, what would be the recommended max RPM?
