damn slow :\

I swear my shit can't even roast the tires for more than 3 seconds in first gear no matter how high i rev. I'm sure somethings wrong but I just don't know what. It still runs a little boggy but I did get my alternator on today. I'm getting an o2 sensor error could that make it boggy? I did a b16a swap into a 91 civic dx and I got everything running nice today but the damn thing still runs boggy off the start. Like honestly my friends 92 honda civic dx with i think a header and exhaust could beat me off the start into probably third gear. whats up with that? something sound wrong or is that how the b16 is???

thanks for the advice peace!

You got a shitload of mods.U should be toasting that 92 civic dx

I thought so to.. off the start though I imagin he'd smoke me. You have any idea what could be wrong?

at what RPM are you launching at?

IS your clutch slipping?

it doesn't matter my car off the start runs MAD boggy.. no matter if I launch at like 3500rpms (which is what i launch at in my d series powered CRX si and spin the shit out of the tires) now I try to launch at like 6 grand or higher because it's the only way I get off decent. I try to get out of first and second gear ASAP because honestly they're worthless to me the way they're running.

I can't spin my tires in 1st gear more than 4 seconds no matter how high i rev and drop the clutch. No clue why. top ends decent and vtec kicks in ok. things sound good but you can tell off the start somethings wrong its to boggy like its getting to much gas or not enough or something like that.. I dunno I wish I did though :( any suggestions?

clutch is brand new stage 3 heavy duty ACT clutch setup w/ street disc. I don't see how it would be slipping already I got it new w/ all my other parts I have but I have only used it a hand full of times because I haven't even gotten this car out yet I just recently got it together.

Sorry dude i dont know.But hey there are alot of tech heads in here that can help you out like civicdxdude and 4thgenhatch.the b16a isnt all that great with torque i believe it has 111lbs of torque.

..... stop spending money on that car then, go buy a better one....that isnt boggy....:tongue:

Look on the bright side you have a hott ass girlfriend:biggrin:

hahahaha yea at least I got a hot ass gf I guess :D

somethings definitley up if it bogs down so much ...

but yea ... be thankful for the woman :bigthumb:

Get your O2 replaced ASAP and let us know how it does from there.. A bad O2 will cause your car to bog.

If I launch from anything higher than 3500, I'll just spin all the way through first, with no hope of traction in 2nd. :( There is definatley something not right if you can't get the tires to rot with ease.

brand new

check your timing, it could be a few degrees retarded, that will defidently bog your low end RPM.

if its brand new you must break it in.... do you know what that means?

I know what breaking in means, but how do you go abouts breaking in a clutch?

Your not supposed to drive your car hard for the first however many miles it says. My friend has a Lexus SC300 and bought a Clutch Master Stage 3 Clutch, and it said to not drive it hard for the first 500 miles. So he shifted at like 4k or less everytime, which was hard for him cuz he likes to kill his car. But yeah, if you dont do this then u may end up ruining you new clutch, or maybe ur engine, not really sure. Just read the papers that came with it.

nice thanks will do! shifting at 3.5rpm from now on.
