eclipse rs vs. civic w/b16

buckchuck27 · #1 07-09-2004, 04:47 PM

who would win, my eclipse rs stick or a 94 civic stick with a b16?

I would have to say the civic would win. It has a DOHC VTEC 1.6L that revs very high. and the civic is lighter.

You stock RS has only 117whp, and that civic may push about that, but it is lighter and more agile, so it will turn quicker than you and accelerate faster.

The eclipse has stock hp of 160 at 4,000 rps.
if the civis only has 117 hp a few pounds wont make a diff
u would be stupid to think that eclipse would lose
eclipses 160 hp is easier to reach, doesnt that make it accelerate faster?
think what u think if u think eclipse has 117 hp u r mistaken.!!

"think what u think if u think eclipse has 117 hp u r mistaken"I think ur mistaken actually, JohhnyBGood said an RS has 117whp not 117hp. Theres a big difference there, WHP is wheel horse power u dumby! :22yikes:

BTW, the stock RS of 2003 has an hp rating of 147 and puts down 117whp. Fact is fact and my dyno does not lie. I dyno'ed 8 different 3G's and that is the number most commonly hit by the stock RS/GS.

And the 00-01 Fed Spec 3G RS/GS' are rated at 154hp. no 3G 4 cylinder has ever been rated for 160hp.

i can't stand it when a newbie comes on here and thinks they know everything. they don't know the difference between rated hp and whp. i think the civic would win though.

oba, it's a 94 civic with a b16 swap. That's not Granny's DOHC VTEC. It'll pull even more if it's a hatchback Civic. Well... driver's skill also counts as well.

I'll admit our cars are not the fastest..but with the right driver..a lot can b done

buckchuck27 · #11 07-24-2004, 08:30 PM

what about a BMW 318ti and an eclipse, anyone kno that?

Going by instinct..Don't race the Beamer in an RS/GS, chances are you'll get raped.. even the 3 series'... But if you do i'd like to hear the details...

dude, what are you doing? That honda would run u over man. Turbocharged 1.6 VTECs are nuts, and the 2.2 VTECs are even crazier. Naturally aspirated 4-banger VS a turboed one, no competition. VS a V6, that boosted lug would have more competition. Its strange your even suggesting that you would come close to that civic. Youre relying heavily on HP figures... not cool. HP figures are magic numbers. Its all about the track. Have you ever driven a turbo ? Go drive one and then youll see what I mean when I say that turbos gonna kill u.

b16 honda vs rs 3g........... I say the honda's got it by like 3 cars.

Ive been reading the posts and i have the answer to the question weither the 3rd gen Eclipise or the B16 civic would win.

The 3rd gen would win. I own a 2000 rs (all stock, auto) and have raced many B16's over the weekend and unlees the Civic has NO2 they usually lose by about 1-1/2 car lengths.
