i keep seeing and hearin about stock b-16 civics beating stock 5.0's r they really that fast or am i missin something? i kno they have the weight advantage but i thought stock for stock mustang had it.

 

I doubt it, unless the B16 motor makes 160+ hp.

 

yeah that seemed a little fast cuz ive seen stock crx with b-16 and gutted interiors at 15.35

 

depends on what the b16 is in. b16's are 160hp at the fly and ~130whp stock. they can be quick in a hatchback civic. i had a b18 (integra gsr 170hp) in civic hatch with just intake and exhaust and i ran 14.3 with street tires. but a b16 in it's stock body 99-00 runs mid 15's. that crx you are talking about probably sucked at driving or it wasn't running right.

 

oh here's a video of my civic i was talking about in the 1/8th, it's the only one i could find. i ran a 9.4 in this vid and the 350z ran a 9.5. when i ran the quarter i ran the 1/8th in 9.2

Most of them do. In stock form, they are 160hp.


Anyways,a few boltons and tune, and they can be quick little cars. Pretty much any B16 Honda is gonna give a stock 5.0 a hell of a run, if not beat it. They're def not something to be underestimated when you're driving a mid-high 14 sec car....

 

Damn those cars were slow.

 

What model and what year Civic ran the B16? And are we talking just a plain jane old Civic like a DX?

 

A stripped out EF/EG with a B16 and bolt ons could beat a stock 5.0(especially SN95). Stock 5.0s aren't fast at all, god forbid if it's an automatic at that(no chance). Now a 99/00 Si(came stock with a B16) will have a much harder time with one since they weigh more. All depends how stripped out the Civic is and how many bolt ons. Stock SN95 5.0 5spd is a good race for a 06+ Si and those are a bit faster than a stock B16 swap.
