Feels like a vtec....
I have a 93 civic 1.5. Oddly enough, it drives just like a vtec. It's not that it has little power on the bottom end, but about 3500, you can feel the motor take off. It is the same in every gear. Mods are a cold air intake, no cat, 2" pipe, RActive exhaust.
Anyone have any idea why it is doing this? PS. The cam cover is black, but I know it is stock. all of the ones I have seen are silver. |

Your probably smoking the cheap ----..... next time pick the seeds out of it...
It just feels that way cause its not stock anymore. Cause i could of sworn everytime I added something to the car it seamed to be faster ... for like a day... than it felt normal again... but unless you have aftermarket CAMs or something then your just tripin.... |
Re:Feels like a vtec....
a 93 1.5 is slower than an old lady with a walker and a broken leg. if you lived in my town I would give you a ride in my car and I would bring plastic bags to put down on the seat so you dont get pee on it.

and yes mine feels alot quicker with the intake etc. Yes ur motor is probably ... 160+BHP whilst the 1.5 is 90bhp ish.... Look in the same class ..... dont compare it to your motor. and yes above 4k in my car it pulls hard to the red line. and keeps going. It might not be a "quick car" as your but its farily quick. So Far ive raced Corsa's and 4x4. saxo's but only ever lost to a Vti, (that car belongs to my cousin) |

Re:Feels like a vtec....
Let's not forget that they do make VTEC 1.5's.
My 1.5 did alright, but I guess 14psi will do that to any motor. ;) __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |
Re:Feels like a vtec....
it's just a sweet spot in the cam, every honda i have ever ridden in/driven is like that, it get's a deep sound and starts to pull harder at a certain rpm (usually around 4 or 5k)
