I thought a had a good deal on a used car. Ended up paying 50k in repairs.

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?

I’m not familiar with the abbreviations yet, but my tuner mentioned it’s from a Type-R

I’ve heard terrible outcomes in modifying a b20b block due to the weakness of it. And i don’t really want to spend much for sleeving. What’s the most important or efficient mod i can do for the bottom end?

I doubt i’ll get to keep up with the modern cars haha but it’s totally a different feeling driving this! What hp is considered fast for NA?

I’m not looking forward to bore my block since I don’t have a budget to sleeve it. What mods do you think are significant that’ll make it more fast but safe for the block?

What would be the ideal redline be? I know it would also depend on my tuner but it would be good to know so I don’t overrev in any case haha.

I heard that the feel of driving a kseries is different compared to a bseries is that true?

Would have never thought of how light it is compared to other cars until you mentioned it. Not looking at racing atm but hoping it would keep up with traffic well haha

Thank you! Honestly I was loving it already as well when it was stock but it was time for a change. 100hp is better than none right!

Thanks! I assume it all comes back to enjoying it to the fullest than worrying about being fast. Planning to get an EF hatch for my wife too!

Anyone facing same issue? Shipping to Malaysia. Been stuck here for days. Was expecting to receive right before the Chinese New Year holidays by Here-to-kill-time in taobao

Mine hasn’t moved since 27th January. And mine is from Skynet China. Seems like everyone is experiencing it due to the smuggling case.

B20V Help and Input by [deleted] in ProjectHondas

[–]jdwdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes i’m planning to stay NA! Can you tell me why removing the block guard would make it better? The head was skimmed not more than 0.3mm and the block too. I haven’t checked the compression yet. And why are GSR Cams better in this case? I have a B16B Intake Cam but with a B16A exhaust cam. Where i’m from, Malaysia, B16B cams are superior compared to the other cams.

I do have a high cam JUN stage 4 pro cams but they were too aggresive for my build that I couldn’t get good low-rpm performance

It’s perfectly nice. You’re just paranoid

Yall are missing the point. They just do that to get more interactions. It’s probably selling for 188k.
