When To Shift??

[94DXSiR]

Im not so sure on some of those calculators myself, I did one and it got my hopes up but then reality came crashing down.

I put in for my DX coupe about 2400 pounds, stock its 2230, thats also with me in it and a B16A, and im not the biggest guy in the world myself, pushing about 130 and I think the B16 weighs about just 50 pounds more than a D series. Taking the base power of my engine, its 170 because its the 5 mill series engine. I didnt add any power I got from my mods, even though to the flywheel it would only be about maybe 10-15 at most with i/h/e/fw/cl, I just took the base, and its still a low miles engine, just bairly past the 30K mark and its been rebuilt.

It said with those imputs I should be running:

Calculated Best ET: 13.94
Calculated Best MPH: 97.2

Anyone even think thats right?

shift points in a b20b are at 6500k. Trust me. i have one...but that's with I/H/E...if you don't have those, power will begin to fall off at 5500 instead of 6500.

[bambam89lx]

btw...if you have a b16 tranny on the b20, then bring 4th gear all the way to 7k in the 1/4 mile or else you'll be shifting to 5th!
if you have an ls tranny...then...BAH!!!

whats I/H/E???

[BLU CIVIC]

intake, header, exhaust...basic 1st bolt-on's that many people do...helps engine breath better by giving better exhaust flow...good for about 5-10bhp (base horsepower)

[Sargento69]

oh yeah i got those i have a magnaflow cat back exhaust, when i bought the b20 it came with 4-2-1 headers. and the intake it just has the filter attached to the trottlebody.. anyone one know what kind of intakes and cold air intakes would fit? so the filter would be where its suppsed to be..

90-93 Teg would be your best bet if you don't want to move your battery.

[Sargento69]

ok..and if the battery is already in the rear??

then you can probably get just about any intake for a short ram to fit, but for a "cold air" that goes to the bumper, best bet would probably be for 90-93 integra.... note: if you cheap out on CAI, the lower pipe will face downward leaving your filter vertical from the ground... quality intake will loop smoothly to your bumper for a nice horizontal fit)

[Sargento69]

thanks alot for the help !!!

[SiZ]

Aye!

If the battery is already in the back (bonus), use the 99-00 Si intake, it has less bends.

I wouldn't know but it just seems by the different shape of the front ends that would be kind of awkward.

Huh?
Thats the setup that people with B series motors use the most if the have the battery relocated.

I just meant since a 99 coupe chassis is different than a crx but w/e...
