------- Dual Point... that bastard child intake manifold has been making honda's piss poor slow, and have no throttle response for nearly 20 years.

Multi-Point convert it. ;)

Snafubmx234 - i know, but I mean torque at takeoff. Unfortunately, unless it was a tiny ass turbo it wouldn't help that, and I'd be afraid of a belt driven blower stalling the car out at idle if active at very low throttle.

This thing is a d15b1 right?


i dont hate. tease, yeah, but it's all in good fun. Wonder if a set of proper long-tube headers would help... Ofcorse... I could always just go see if the ECU will let me get by with turning the idle up a couple hundred rpm LMAO!

Re: How do you drive these ballless damn things!?
 

they do make engines that drop in that double the tourqe on that engine lol. im pretty sure throwing in just a b18b would tripple the cars performance. and at least double the tourqe. even a better d-series engine would make it a new car. maybe you need to throw in a heavily used clutch while your at it so you dont stall it anymore lol. but i do agree hondas are tourqless. with my unsprung clutch my car wants to stall too

Ah man I don't really care about all that LoL! I have a faster car that i know everything in the world about to tool around on.
The civic is just my backup / economy car / hauler. Always has been. Why what do B swaps get mpg wise? 30?. I like 40 better. :) Just wish it had a hair more torque idling.

Re: How do you drive these ballless damn things!?
 

it gets so much faster when you swap it :1 I actualy think it gets slower until like 4-5k rpm's.

Try checking your ignition timing. :P

70 horsepower. No wonder LoL!
Glad I'm not the only one that's ever stalled one of these things tho. Sadly... it needs your stereotypical $15 spray paint job. Inside & out. And it's got seat-covers in it cause the seats are shitty.
