Default d16?

This seems pretty fast for a d16 engine with no turbo, and nothing done to the internals.

Claims to be just a mini-me swap to a y8 head, s20 transmission with Fidanza flywheel, megan header, catback, integra throttle body and selfmade airbox + PBV.

If this is true I might just upgrade my transmission and throttlebody!

It's still an 8 second 0-60, so I believe it.

i cant say its not quick for you because you might think thats quick but, my stock 95 civic runs 0-60 in same amount of seconds...btw if you watch the video it took 10-11 seconds to get to 60

yeah... that was definitely slow. He started moving at 0:02 and hit 60 at 0:10. My automatic EG is faster than that.

Only mods to my civic are listed in signature below - add a short throw shifter to that. My 0-60 is around 6.8-7 seconds. Take into consideration that Ive been driving a manual since I was 11 years old. Learned on my fathers big rig. Shift times count for everything!

maybe the gauges just made it seem fast lol? I dunno I was up late that night.

He pushes it to redline, I usually only go to about 6000 rpms when I get on it cause of worry about wear and tear. Maybe thats why it seemed fast to me, that tranny is very smooth tho you got to admit. you can play all you want..... unless I see some major upgrades in your sig it's just banter, so don't play me that kinda crap....

great..... now this makes me seem like I drive like an old lady.... Believe me I get on my sh*t when I get on it, and learned and drive on stick aswell my friends

"SovXietday"

Is this when i'm supposed to bow my head and make you feel like some kind of polished gem? ....I'm sure you get enough of that on here.

You obviously put a lot of work in it, and I respect that.Obviously your on a whole nother level than I at this point withmy car. I don't have the money to replace my engine if it blows, so subjecting it to constant redline wouldn't be in my best interests.

Does that make me a pu$$y? I dunno what your trying to imply with that comment....
