Thread: Civic Si, sit down

I seen a 2009 Honda Civic SI

and i Really liked the Mesh seats!!

but thats it!

haha.
have you ever had seen a Gsr then..
there is in fact a B18c1 which is a GSR,
all those engine codes you just got probably from wikipedia,
but well ok cool.
& yeah the b18c5 is ITR (integra Type R)
& b18c is the JDM type R.

& i never did compare a GSR with a k20z1 which yeah is found in a
RSX, yeah a rsx will probably walk by a gsr.
the type S motor pulls hard,
& yeah the integra is heavy COMPARED to a hatch.
which go head & find out which is heavier,
im talking kuz ive had these cars & pulled on some too.

& the EM1 those coupes with that k20 motor haul a$$ too.
couple friends down south had some modded like that.
hands Down compared to b Series the K series is the winner,
potentially & right out the box.
& by K series I mean ONLY the type S motor.
the ep3 motor simply in my opinion & in my eyes just suck.
& yeah if you do boost it well thats different,
but do the same to a k20z1 & put em side by side.
then who pulls harder

Ever seen a GSR.. Kidding right? It's not like this insanely rare car. As far as this made up B18c1, the reason I brought up the JDM motor is because there's this thing where people buy JDM motors and have them shipped here. WOAH what an idea?!?! Got the codes of wiki? No, I got the codes off the block as i've owned them as well as built a few haha

Sorry man, there's no comparison between a K and B series. K has a stronger powerband while the B series gets all it's power in the 5k range.

You've owned them... Prove it. I've owned two and shown pictures to validate my statements. Also helped build a turbo B16 EG which I can also prove with pics if you'd like

I'm sorry dude, but I have to go with Michael's mechanical and Honda knowledge over your hear-say Honda "knowledge."

B18c1? Haha, someone needs to visit Honda | Acura Research, Reviews, Performance Parts, Owners - Honda-Tech.com

That motor doesn't exist there, sped.

Pic Found on a site.
heres the Link where the
MADE UP
engine code is pictured.

Im not Bs'n anybody.
& i guess you just never owned a car with a b18c1 motor in it.
like the b17
93 gsr
i think that was just made for like 2 years..

& i also helped to build a b18b1 (LS) turbo setup,
got tons of pics of that build.

& yeah thats where they make the most power,
since thats where the stock ecu engages vtec..

here some pics,
the white ef,
Silver EM1
& the kinda golden/brown hatch
were mine.

EF-
*2000 SOHC swap
*DC headers 4-1
*Skunk2 intake manifold
*complete exhaust system
*stage 2 clutch
*TUNED

EG-
*1995 Gsr Swap
*DC 4-2-1 headers
OPEN HEADERS.
*AEM fuel regulator
*AEM short ram intake.
*stage 2 Clutch
*VAFCII
*TUNED

EM1-
AEM intake,
Skunk2 int. Manifold
DC headers 4-1

here some pics of some cars from our crew.
*my Cousins DC before it got jacked.
*my brothers EK (before it was painted type R yellow & jdm bumpers where installed)
when it had a GSR,
then with the LS-t setup (now it just has LS, got tired of the turbo probs.)
*a Crew members BUILT Ls-v setup (before it had C/F hood, type R headers & after C/F was installed)
theres more pics

just trying to prove it

& yeah a K series is a nice engine,
& even better in a lighter car.

& i still say k20a3 $UUUUUUCK
my resp. to the k20z1..

__*9ordohz

Actually...peeps. From my understanding in the Honduh world...there is a B18C1 and a B18C5...both of which were put in the Teggy...but internally the B18C5 is a lot different (rods, pistons, etc)...making 195hp @ the flywheel vs. the C1's 170-ish.

I'm not saying you guys don't know alot about Honda's...but you can't deny an actual stamped block and the fact if you do happen to search it on the web...its a pretty popular motor.

yeah i do admit i searched the internet
cuz Im was SO positive that there is a b18c1
since ive seen em with my own eyes & drove em too.
had to prove it
& btw the gsr shown in the
silver EK is a b18c1

*So yeah Thanks blue

Touche on the picture proof man. However, back to the VTEC bit, K20's have power well before 5500 when VTAK kicks A3 or not, while the B18 is only a VTEC power motor. Respect to both engines, but you can't compare the two when without a doubt the K series is far superior. There's a reason people are ditching their Bseries builds for K20's

never did say that a B series was superior to a K
& if i had the money & could pick a motor to build
I WOULD GO WITH THE K20..
& yeah a bunch of people who have the money to swap
a K into their cars will do so & probably dont even take a second look
at a B series..

but all vtec motors make their MOST power
once vtec is engaged..

but hands down between a B & a K series..
k20 wins
k20 from a type S
haha

*I wouldve put that motor in my hatch,
but i dont have 7 grand or more
to spend for a complete swap
& if i did wouldve probably bought another car.

Yeah and then there's the whole sleeping with 1 eye open. Especially out here in CA where they're stolen every night. Right now trying to figure how to fit a VQ35 into a S13 haha

You know whats funny...people talking about VTEC like it is actually something great. It's Honda's way of turning on the VVT system...its so retarded...why not let it run like that all the time so you can actually make torque before 9,000 rpm? I laugh because my Cobalt took a B16 Si until about 80...and all it has is a cold air and HIGH PERFORMANCE PLUGS! It's all about the torque...the Ecotec will make every bit of 150+ ft. lbs. around 3000-5000 rpms...YAY GM. I just think Honda could have designed that better.

:P
i took a friends b16 with my dads
old toyota, has a 22r.
we started from a stop from stop sign to stop sign,
we went head to head until his vtec kicked in,
& thats a b16 that had some bolt ons..
skunk2 intake manifold, headers, AEM CAI & exhaust system,
& it was gutted.
my dads truck has over 300k
wont tell you the real mileage probably wont believe me
jeje

hey while the stereo sound good
& i know im not from the other side
F*** it,

well thinking about it,
theres a line,
so yeah it might DEPEND.

& since this is on a thread that talks about hondas,
Blueish purple are on the 99-2000 Honda Si
jeje..

But if you think about it
that color looks kinda cool,
unless its BURNED OUT & FADED,
then yeaah it might scream out
G*y pride.

Don't worry about it...I still would rather drive an assfire since most of them were 5-spds

The Balt is an auto...

trade? Only bad things about the Cobalt are ummm...

1) Wrecked Passenger Side and Pass. Front door doesn't like to open unless you roundhouse kick it
2) Salvaged Title
3) Manual Everything minus transmission
4) All Passenger side speakers don't work with the radio
5) Slight burns on ceiling and 2 in the backseat from previous pot head owner...which also wrecked the car the same night...hence issue #1 & #2
6) And for some odd reason...has no trunk insert to cover up the spare tire and battery...hmmm.



I'd take a clean manual car anyday
