I have seen heaps of da6 integra's over here pulling low 14's from a motor i described above. Thats a 1.6ltr.
I have seen loads of them with a b18c chucked in reach into 13's with no stress.
Going on about how an outdated low power per ltr motor makes ok power is nothing special, a smaller engine making much more power per leter is far more interesting from an mechanical point of view, and like I said in a lightish da6 14's is easy with very basic breather mods.
Are you being sarcastic? It plays a big part. Its all about power to weight, and having a motor that weighs less and has a higher ouput but is still suited to the car is what its all abou
Honda make amazing n/a motors with fantastic power for their size.
Maybe im lucky living in NZ as we have so many imports here (like 80%) and I get hands on experience with a rang of cars. American cars are ok at using lots of gas, and being big. Its not hard to get good power from a big v8 is it?
It cracks me up when people hassle a b16a motor making over 110kw at the wheels. Thats 110kw at the wheels from a 1600 with I/H/E... not bad power per ltr....
Dont get me wrong I love v8's too, I love any engine that makes good power and is well designed, so I dont see why people need to bag honda's just because a lot of younger folk own them and stick clear tail lights and chrome wheels on them... right motor, wrong body
Turbo spool would be great if it was a bit louder... Seems strange that all the turbo cars take so long to come on boost though... quite unrealistic compared to a real turbo car....
