1999 Dx vs 2000 EX

will guys I raced my friend 2000 ex and sorry to say I lost

it was not even a good race

I could tell when his vtec kicked in

we lined up I have the horn so I got the jump

1st gear I was in front have a car

2nd he pull beside me then I was still in 2nd and he jumped to 3rd pulled his hood in front of me then in I shift to 3rd

then I saw it

the damn Vtec kicked in and he pull his whole car in front of me

I lost by like Car plus some but not a car and a 1/2
:frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown:

ex civics have vtec?......i though the only diff between his and yours was DOHC vs SOHC:confused:

no they are both SOHC EX is vtec DX is non Vtec

Wouldnt his Vtec of engaged for him in first and second gear as well? Its turned on by RPM... thus it would of been engaged alot earlier... And if he's a quick enough shifter it would never come out of Vtec...



But... what do I know... I drive a Nova. :icon16:

gotcha thanks:smile:

yes it kicked first and sec gear but I had the horn so I was a car in front off the line plus as you know 1st gear goes so fast when you are racing the vtec pulled him to the side of me then 2nd he was beside me when it kicked in then 3rd when it kicked in he was gone

The Slow and the Furious
coming soon to a theater near you

but I had the horn
sounds like kansas talk to me

sorry, but SOHC VTEC doesn't pull anything ahead 3/4 of a car.

yes it'd pull in all gears, but its not gonna matter that much really. its such a subtle difference in power, ur not gonna see him pull like that from the VTEC alone.

I know that the 21 more Hp help too


just sayin I can see the vtec at work

OR maybe, JUST maybe, you saw a better driver at work.

With a 1997 LX...same motor as yours...I used to beat similarly-equipped EX's.

haha, I've always wondered if the 1/4 counters go past 59 seconds?

Only during the Geo Metro Invite.

I wanna go to the track and line up with a Metro to see how bad I beat him.

On foot that is. Two Foot Turbo all the way!:bigthumb:

:)

Have you ever dug through the Geo area on this forum? Guys talk about metro turbochargers on their three cylinders. It's pretty damn hilarious...

will there is a tight Gep here in kansas He is ugly green with 17s racing rims Neons all over it and a Big ass wing that sits on the roof of the car



:spit: :eek7: :sly:









(no I do not really thing his car is nice I want to run my head into a wall everytime I see his car, or maybe run his head into a wall)

do the 2000 EXs have same motor as 1999 and down EXs what is different about the 2000 and 1999 EX






Man if I had a tach and some stickers on my car I would have smoked him


next week going to add DOHC Vtec sticker and Turbo Sticked and a supercharger Sticker and a NOS sticker


Then let see if he beats me




:dogpile:

Torbo 3 cyl!:lol:

Does that push it up into the 17's?


And beware of that green Geo. That wing of his probably added about 65hp! Unfortunately, it was all added to the rear wheels since thats where all the downforce is going.

One could have 1500 posts and been a member for years, and still be a noob by saying/doing things like Redrunner.

It's not quite his fault that he "only" drives a Civic DX, as far as that goes.

I do agree, that his comments/questions sometimes are quite novice-like.

hehe, there's the dictionary p.c. definition of noob

you guys need to learn to take a joke

anyway this is the place to learn for other people right

Quite true. Sometimes we just get carried away. :twak:

The bottom line is that he was supposed to beat you. His car is a 150hp SOHC V-TEC compared to a 135hp SOHC NON v-tec

From 98-02 all the Accords (except for DX models) has the same engine (150hp and 152ft lbs of torque) Except for that SULEV engine which comes with 148hp because of that CA emissions or something

:sly: They are talking about Civics.

:eek: :eek: Thought they were talking about Accords

Both engines are pretty weak. dohc is the way to go.

I agree. But there aren't many Honda's available with DOHC V-TEC that a person can fit in comfortably.

1996-Current Honda Civic EX coupe and sedan: 1.6L SOHC VTEC I4
1999-Current Honda Civic Si coupe: 1.6L DOHC VTEC I4
1996-Current Honda Civic HX: 1.6L SOHC VTEC-E I4
1998-Current Honda Accord LX/EX I4 coupe and sedan: 2.3L SOHC VTEC I4
1998-Current Honda Accord LX/EX V6 coupe and sedan: 3.0L SOHC VTEC V6
1997-Current Honda Prelude Base/Type-SH: 2.2L DOHC VTEC I4
1993-Current Acura Integra GS-R coupe and sedan: 1.8L DOHC VTEC I4
1999-Current Acura TL: 3.2L SOHC VTEC V6
2001-Current Acura CL: 3.2L SOHC VTEC V6
1991-Current Acura NSX: 3.2L DOHC VTEC V6

Thats also true, and the b16a2 has discontinued in production. but there are other swap possibilities....

You're right. I think the only other option is for a nice engine swap. I was gonna swap in a Prelude engine but I'm gonna wait till my warranty expires

I haven`t seen that done in an accord before. That would be nice. Keep me updated on that.

Here's one I found on E-bay that I was really interested in



http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33615&item=2425477201

2 things:

1) Why does it say 30-50K miles on the engine? Are they selling more than one? Don't they know what Lude it came out of?

2) You'd think they could clean it up a little for the pics. Presentation is everything. IMO

Be very careful buying engines off ebay. There are scams going on where people post PICTURES of engines, and in the explanation they say "for $xxxx you will be buying exactly what is shown below". Person pays the money and gets an envelope with a picture in the mail and can't do a thing about it.

That'd be pretty messed up if you paid all that money and then got not only a picture, but THOSE shitty pictures:lol:

I agree....Buyer beware. That's why I would pay with a Cred Card

They probably have more than one engine and saying the their engines has between 30K-50K miles on them.

I might be wrong, but it does seem logical

And most of the engines on ebay don`t come with any kind of warrenty except a start up warrenty.

True. This one has a whopping 60 day warranty.:rolleyes:

Day 61: Engine dissolves:frown:

lol yeah, thats how it would work out too.

You guys are really discouraging:grinyes: :grinyes: :grinyes:

I might just keep my engine and drop in a SC or something:biggrin:

Well, good luck finding SC for F23a! Ive been looking for 2 years with no luck. Jackson Racing has been blowing smoke about SC on F23 for two years now and has produced NOTHING! The only option for SC in our cars is to (ironicly) swap for H22a THEN SC. With JRSC on H22a, youd make about 261hp I believe and like 230ish tq (its on the website www.jacksonracing.com i think) So after the swap, SC, and ihe, you have a 2003 Accord V6 with 5 speeds instead of 6:frown:

Its not easy being green.

My SC dreams have crashed and burned. I dont have the kinda $$$ to have one custom built for me. At least not yet. Try a buildup on your engine, then drop in a T3 or T4. I have some homework to do about turbos, but (from what I know) either of those would be good depending on how much boost you plan on running and how much you reinforce your internals.

The path of the F23 is a difficult one my brother.

You're right. A T03/03 Turbo would work nicely on a F23. I was concidering that also. Not much, just a decent amount of boost. Maybe 7 or 8 psi. But I'm still not sure on the options.

words of a true honda zen master:worshippy

Or there's always the option of Nitrous. Nitrous express has a dry kit on sale (so they say) for under 400

I personally don't wanna go the Nitrous route. Its too much of a quick fix to me. Like popping speed pills. Sorta.

Plus I have abad mental association with Nitrous and ricers/burger boys. Thats all they talk about is how they're gonna get a NAAWWWSS kit and start smoking Mustangs/Supras:rolleyes: Its their one and only dream. It can be very useful in the right hands, but is placed in too many of the wrong hands unfortunately.:frown:

Yes that is true, but usually the ricers that buy it won`t ever use it, they will just brag about it.

Check this out...I've even seen some ricers who say they have nitrous but look in the trunk and it's a sub woofer disguesed as a friggin NOS bottle!!

:disappoin What a sad world we live in :disappoin
