D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

Sup, me and my friend are going to be racing our 91 Civic DX hatch with D15B2 MPFI with A6 cam, adjustable cam gear, B &M Fuel pressure regulator, chikara header, full 2.5" exhaust, 1.5" lowering springs, sturt tower bar, SCI MSD iginition, 9.5 APC spark plug wires, MSD Blaster coil(45,000 volts), and cold air intake.

We don't know what the B16 has or which B16 it is so what could we do to prepare for this race tonite? We have put new plugs re gapped them, put in time, reset the vavle lashings, check the gear oil in the transmission, checked the oil, and put a brand new timing belt on. Just woundering what you guys do for checkin and testing before a race to be at tip top condition and any quick power adders. Thanks a lot for any help!

Will record and post link after the race is done and give you stats around 10-11pm.

Goddamn, most of my races are unplanned, or if they're not .. the only thing I do before I race is make the sure the e-brake is off. :) My grandfather once told me, "You can coat a turd in gold, but deep down it's still a stinky peice of ----." :) - Matt

you can put sugar in the other guys tank, this is good preparation

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

nitrous, cause otherwise you are gonna lose

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

If he has a properly swapped b16 w/ a b16 tranny you will lose by like 4 cars or so. Nothing besides some squezze or drop a dohc zc in there are you only bets of winning

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

I dunno you did say you had your car lowered and a strut bar. That adds about 20-25 horses, you just may keep up. :P



Sorry dude, to be blunt, your ganna loose.

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

put a turbo kit lol....you can maybe beat him though...just strip the car take out the rear seats passanger seat the carpet all the plastic etc... and the sound deadening material those stuff are heavy. that should make you half a second faster

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

I know I'm going to catch hell for saying this but B16's are slow as ----, but faster than a D15B. Throw a bottle on and your money. If you don't have a bottle, advance the ---- out of your timing and take everything off the car.

I had one of these epic races between my 90' Civic with a D16Z6 and my friends 91' Civic with a B18A. I kicked his ass like he was standing still, twice. I the instrument cluster was duct taped inside and that was the only thing in the car besides a seat and me

Gut the car like you were a mexican in a chop shop (no racial pun intended, but its the truth)

HAVE FAITH IN THE SINGLE CAM AND DRIVE IT LIKE A ----------ER

SOHC love, baby ;)

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

b16a may not be the fastest thing on the road but christ man, give it alittle credit

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

B16's are good swaps but usually run just as fast a dohc zc swap. With most b16 swaps there done way ghetto to cover the cost of the swap done properly 2000+. Alot have ls trannies and rpm switches with the wrong ecu's so if that's the case you have a chance.

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

mm word to that love :)

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

I hope you've got money on this race. ROFL :D

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

That's gotta be like 5hp!!

LOL, like everyone else said. A little premium fuel combined with some seriously advanced timing-- and some major weight reduction and keep your fingers crossed. Lose all the obvious stuff (spare, jack, etc) and then see what else you can get rid of. Every pound helps. Oh yeah... leave your friend home (or at least not in the car) when you race. That 200lbs can be the difference b/t winning and losing, just incase you didn't think of it.

...then mentally prepare yourself for the 30 second quarter mile that lies ahead... I remember when my car was n/a... It was like two barking turtles running side by side- I remember when first gear actually had to 'wind out.'

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

We ran this civic at the 1/4 track with slicks and ran a 15.2 so i'm hoping we don't get beat to bad but it's worth a shot. Yeah the car is gutted no dash or anything just a seat, huge tack and steering wheel, oh yeah and no a/c. But we'll see thanks for the feed back...yeah ------ 9.5mm APC wires i found them on a junk yard car so i was like hey 70 dollars wires for 5 bucks what a deal. We have 1.5" dorp Tokico coil overs set on, may not get horse power as you joke around but we get better tracktion less wheel hop. Strut tower bar helps out better then not having one, tru? May not be the richest person in the world to buy and swap motors out all the time but aleast we try, good starting out car.

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

i know a guy with a 91 civic with b16 raced a 89 crx with d16a6. The d16a6 won. SohC ALL the way.
It all depends on lots of stuff. You only about a second away in 1/4 maybe someobody will ---- up or you will get the jump on him.

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

your smoking, i walk modded n/a zc's with a basically stock b16, just i/h/e and a good ass driver. i mean damn, a zc is an upgrade from a d series, but not quite close to any b ;) oh yeah, sohc no love over here :P

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

Sounds like my old setup(sort of) I had a 90 CRX DX it had mpfi swap with a a6 shaved head with 3 angle valve/ ported and bullfrog race cam (hccs102 I believe), Hp racing header, 2 3/8 mandrel bent exhaust with arospeed bomb muffler, MSD sci, with msd wires cap and coil. Integra zc pistons(actually A1s which i found out dont raise compression) shot peened rods, knife edged crank, moroso racing oil pump, all new bearings and gaskets. SI tranny, energy suspension mount inserts, short shifter, centerforce DF clutch and a little weight reduction. Guess what I was only .2 faster than I was with dpfi (stock motor with all those bolt ons). But if the other guy can't drive then you have a chance. I managed to beat a few gsts(modded), gsr's(modded) supercharged 99 civic si(dont even ask) and other things that should've destroyed me on the streets due to drivers. ;D

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

^^ that's why n/a sucks! i bet you spent a grip on all those mods, all you had to do was spend a grand on a turbo and decimate all! all motor is just too damn expensive for the power that you gain (or should i say, don't gain). i'm n/a right now but not by choice, i'm spending my money building another engine before i boost again so that i can do it right this time, and not say "uhhhhhhh, i wonder how much psi my stock sleeves or rods can handle"

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

well boys, lets face reality, unless you boost your d series engine, it is just a slow piece of ----. run 10 psi through it and its another story. :o

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

the sohc cam love is kicking over here. I've got basically the same setup, d15b1 with mpfi, a6 cam, i/h/e, underdrive pulley, and si tranny. It sounds lame but at the road race track I caught a passed a vr6 gti on my 1st day at the track. I could hang with a new sti everywhere but the straights at half throttle. Stripped rear half, still full front interior, (cage blocks off the rear half. I even beat a base model RSX with a passenger. He was pissed. I know it's not super fast, but they are cheap and fun. But I'll be boosting in a few weeks, so it'll all be good.

D15 forever... Bisi did it, need I say more.

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

its all in the driver bro! i got a 91 crx si with stock d16a6 in it and when its was n/a i would take out some b16 del slow's and i beat a probe gt (turbo model)! he said his turbo wasnt working right but you could hear that ---- spooling the whole time! it really depends on the driver/launch/ and weight! Launch that bitch at like 5500-5900 rpm's so you can get a better start if you get traction! v6 mustangs and firebirds were no problem either!!

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

V6 mustangs, firebirds and camaro's run low 16's high 15's lol...so those aren't difficult to beat

Re:D15B2 with MPFI racing a B16!!
 

dont get me wrong, i coulda had a b series swap 8 times over but i insiust on runnin d series, my latest is a y7 block with 19,000 on it with z6 head with work, on 10 psi. itll blow a few cars out of the water
