ya i always fill up the tank

when coming from a fullsize truck with 16mpg and about 65bucks to fill up a tank.... 20-30bucks to fill up this little car RULES!!!!!
and i just got shifted in 4th gear at like 85 or 95 not sure...LOL i just didnt want to go any faster... PLUS it woulda took me alot longer to try and top out the speed...... talk about a SLOW acceleration. LMFAO

makes me wanna CHEAT and find a large hill and make a video going downhill. LMFAO

It is normal and your getting beat because you have around a 30% drive terrain loss on a llready tq'less B16. You have about 110 to 115whp and about 80 ft lbs of tq to the wheels. vs a B18B manual Integra which has around 120ish whp and 105 to 110wtq. Couple that with better gearing of a manual and you are going to get beat. Sad truth is with your setup I dont see why SOHC Z6 and Y8 manuals are not walking you.

I dont think i lost that much HP to the wheels, its the 170hp JDM b16 which i believe it has 150hp to the wheels with a Manual and 135hp for a Auto. actually the friend is an Auto LS. He still gets me by 3-4 cars from a dig and the othere way around when it's from a roll. Win for me on a roll, win for him from a dig. It has to be the tranny thats slowing me down alot in the begining but i woop some *** at top end. I raced my friends Rsx type S from a roll and he beat me by 1 car. I just need to get rid of this tranny and do a auto to manual swap. But i dont want to waste more money so i'm selling it pretty soon.

All B16's in stock form with a manual dyno 135 to 140whp, the autos are a bit behind that. The B18B has more tq everywhere in the rpm range that is why he is getting you with the automatic.

I'm guessing if modified it would yeild totally diferent results since everyone wants to take the p30 pistons out of the JDM (more aggressive) and put them in another USb16.

ORIGINAL: nightrider46

yea i heard it was rare that i have a b16 auto tranny but it's not a regular US b16, it's a JDM b16 sirII, i heard that it alil more aggresive then the regular US b16
Lol.

The auto trans has 4 gears, so it needs longer geared ratios in order to work correctly. If you want that tranny to last I'd stop racing it, Honda auto trans' don't like to be beat on. I believe all of the Honda auto trannies are geared similarly, you got bull****ted when you bought the car for sure though.
