Take back the keys!

Hey everyone. My name is Lenn, I live near Deerfield, OH area. Currently driving a 1991 Honda Civic Hatch. Currently it has a b20b motor with Crower 6402 cams, Cam gears, Titanium Valve Springs and Retainers, AEM intake, Lovefab B series header, and a 2.5" Exhaust. Suspension Mods consist of Koni Yellow 5 way adjustable in the front and 6 way in the rear on H&R Race springs, 22mm Suspension Techniques Front and Rear sway bar, rear disk, 99 si front brake upgrade. Also the car has a lovefab rollbar installed with full interior.

Enough of me babbling, here are pics.

sleepy I like the cage, what does she run?

Don't know didn't get a chance to run it this year at quaker before it closed for the season. I would suspect high 14's low 15's. It's torquey as hell, I love it, but this winter saving up for good ole boost parts.

I see I see, well best of luck!

I like it. Should do better than that though, what is that, a 1500lb car? That b20 with cams should haul ass.

Very sleepy nice little selection of mods too!

If you wanted to go eldebrock turbo kit way I can get you one of those or a turbonetics kit idk what your spending budget is though, both of those are a little pricey but they are complete kits so that is nice

My name is Dave

Cute car. I think I may have seen it around my way. I really don't pay attention to stuff like that..

Well right now I am unfortunatly driving it in this ass snow because my DD is down.. It has pink rota slips on it, they are my buddies wheels, so I am pretty sure it isn't hard to miss..

As far as the turbo kit goes, I am actually piecing it together. Getting a Spoolin Performance Log mani with a garret Turbo from blaast performance. Since my budget is a piece by piece project. I have the fuel part of it done.

Putting it together is the better route to go POST PICS of the pink rims!

You plan on going DBB or Journal? Also to save costs look for used low mileage ones on forums... I mean unless you need something specific with special housings/discharges/flanges, that can save you a few hundred easy.

I've seen that car in Sebring... I have nothing more to say

Yeah I hang out at my buddies house in Sebring, we like things to look a little different then your average honda driver. We are all about performance, more than looks, believe it or not, alot of people don't think the wheels look to bad on my car, which I don't think they do either, but I gave my friend my steelies to sell with his CRX so he could keep the rotas and redo them. We aren't your average I drive a honda and v8's suck. All of my friends grew up on v8's. I just enjoy proving to my dad that you can get power out of 4 cylinders like you can 8's.

I don't know what I am planning on doing. The cams I have in the car make power from 3500 - 7k which is my redline. I want something that will spool fairly early so I am able to keep constant boost throughout my RPM range. I still have a bunch of research to do, since I am only able to push no more than 10 psi with my stock buttom end on a b20. I wish I could find someone with a stock b20, no b20vtec or anything and see how their setup runs. What I really will be running into is budget problems. I am a full time college student delivering pizza's which is good money, but sleeving is not cheap. ~1300 for Darton mid Sleeves, that's installed and buttom end reassembled from Slowmotion in Columbus.

I wish I could find someone that could do tuning in the area for obd0, because delivering pizzas in a b20 with 93 octane, is not fun, because the ecu I am running makes it run lean, so to make up for the lean condition I have to run 93.

I hear you man I deliever pizzas too, Ive got another job as well tho. I have a beater DD tho. Id say look into a gt28r, should see boost very early, still good for about 300 on pump which is plenty in such a light car.

I thought about running the Garrett AirResearch turbo but I don;t know if I want to run the .63/.60 or the .48/60. My buddy has a boosted b18 with a .60/.63 turbo and he gets full boost by 4-4.5k. So I am not 100% sure yet. I drive a CRX hf that gets ~50mpg, so hopefully I can get that back on the road, i miss filling up with 15 dollars and it lasting me a couple of days, pending on if I have to drive to class or not. I am pretty sure it will all fall into place when I see it.

yeah 50mpg must be nice....

50mpg.... /drool

You're not getting 50mpg if a tank of gas only lasts you 2 days..

My gas hog of a GTP (though it has a bigger tank) only lasts about 4-5 days with a full tank of gas and I average about 23mpg with 80% of my driving being highway. My WS6 consumed less fuel (when it was stock) than my GTP does and I was averaging 30-32 in it. A tank of gas lasted me about a week in my Trans Am driving back and forth from Deerfield to my job in Kent everyday. What it'll do now I have no idea, I just finished putting it all back together and I'll have to find out in the spring I guess..

He Delivers Pizza's... I fill up ever 2 days as well.... sometimes more with class.... I get about 20-24 in my beater but I don't aim for gas mileage because its too boring that way.

Again, in that case, he's not getting 50mpg anyway, so it just cancels that out. Who builds a car for gas mileage? Getting good mpg is just a bonus to owning a fast car. I love LS1's..

None of them are fast. Prius' are rubbish anyway.

lmao, the point was there are people who strive to out do the next with fuel economy tests.

Im so lost to where this tread went

yeah we are discussing his CRX's gas mileage...

back to topic!

Rubbish.

Though i'm interested in hybrid cars/trucks, preserving the ozone layer, reducing air pollution and investigating fuel cells and alternative fuels (especially E85). Driving one of these.... ...is not going to restore the polar ice caps or the hole in the ozone layer. We all want better gas mileage from our daily drivers and our toys, but I'm not going to succum to driving something that looks like it was drawn by a 5 year old with a lack of imagination. I'm sick of all of the Hollywood types who are jumping on the trendy "Save the Planet" train buy buying these cars. If you read some of those threads, some of those people are getting "only 20-25mpg for the first 5-10 minutes of thier trip". Another one complains of decreased mpg in his '05 model. I've been hearing from the news and car mags how thse things are basically a gimmick and any new car will get good gas mileage if you know how to drive it. They also explain on the Prius forums (my stomach just turned) that if you drive the car aggressively in any way, shape or form that you'll notice a decrease in fuel economy.

..and here's a couple of videos from Top Gear concerning this technillogical marvel....

I get better gas mileage in town than I do on the highway. The guy I bought the car from about a year and a 1/2 ago decided it would be a good idea to run a stock HF motor with an SI tranny. I sit about 3k rpm, mind you it redlines at 5k, at 65mph so it puts a strain on the gas milage abit. When I fill up, I put in ~4 gallons, I try not to run below a 1/4-1/8th of a tank, I get to about anywhere between 190-210 miles to my tank. As I stated before I deliver pizzas and drive from North Benton to Youngstown 3 times a week. Most of the time I work in the morning on days I have class, which is about 65 miles roundtrip to class and back, and then I'd say 20 miles working, cause we go to Westville to North Benton, and even out to Damascus area.

My CRX is slow as balls, it will always be that way. I don't have alot of cash to sling around. You can't really beat on a CRX HF, I'm pretty sure a 3 cylinder Metro would beat me....

hey len your car is gay.. ok i lied. cant wait for this snow to go away.. you gona spend some saturdays at the shop with tommy and i building our cars?

You know I'm always down for leaving someone elses and my lug nuts finger tight . Let me know when you are going up, so I can see if I can work in the AM or have that day off.
