VR4 vs B20 swapped Civic hatch

[Twizted_3KGT]

This happened a couple days ago, tried to post and it got messed up. Newayz this kid who's my friends cousin has a B20 hatchback has been wanting to race me since I had my SL. So the first day I got my VR4 he shows up and we decide to finally go at it. I take the middle (turning) lane and he takes my right. I beep three times and we take off, by the end of first I had 2 cars on him, 2nd I had almost 4, 3rd he stopped falling back and stayed the same distance back, we shut down at about 110 (short road). This was all on my very bad clutch which slips in 2nd and through most of 3rd, can't wait to put a new one in! He ended up going to the track the next day and ran a 13.5 with slicks on, so now he wants a rematch. I'll give it to him, but this time i'm puttin money down on it...even with the bad clutch.

whats a b20? cr-v engine? you mean a k20??? and nice race!

[lover707]

b20 yeah, crv engine.. it has alot of torque like 160 or more.. not sure.but 145 hp. but running 13.5 is really good..usually only runs mid to low 14 with that motor.. maybe he added vtec.. b20 vtec.. man, now that has alot of hp and torque..

[Twizted_3KGT]

Yeah it's Vtec...I don't know too much about Honda motors but I was pretty surprised to see him not just drop back outta sight.

B20vtec is no slouch in a car that weighs about 2000lbs.

[lover707]

b20vtec is supposed to be around 200 or so hp.
with all that torque too.. man is it a killer.. i havent
race one yet.. but i did lose to my friend at the track to
an lsvtec (180 hp but only 120 torque..)from the start i lost by 1\2 a car..but i still had the better time..
13.9 for me and 14.2 for him.. lol.. but if it was a street race man would i have lost.. where it is all about the reaction..

He ran a 13.5? Did he show you the time slip? I know that those hatchs weigh nothing and if you do them right they will haul but 13.5 is too quick for just the motor swap, IMO

[Twizted_3KGT]

Oh it's not just a swap, he has the motor built. I have no idea what's in it, but I know it's not stock internals...they have slips, i'll be going to the track with them as soon as I get my clutch in.

Nice run. Sounds like you love your new vr-4

I wouldn't say 13.5 is out the question with a really good driver...

[lover707]

my friend with is lsvtec ran 13.8 with a gutted interior..
so b20vtec can make low 13..

Yea my friend said he could only get a 13.7, but his cousin ran the 13.5.

and a nice tiest pipe to finish it off. im not sure if you need 2 for the 3kgt. not really sure on how their exhaust comes off. but a nice downpipe and a test pipe will eliminate just about all backpressure from the exhuast. plus ur car sounds like a drag monster when u put it on. less lag on the turbos as well.

Most downpipes eliminate the cat already, so no need for a testpipe.
And we have td04-9bs...they're too small to have turbo lag
