nothing wrong with being a noob. we don't hate you guys. just the idiots who come on here to be e-thugs and think they know shit because paul walker sucked them off before they went to bed while vin diesel gave them a reach around

LMAO. actually made me laugh out loud thanks tho.... tho i will admit, i did like that movie at first, then joined some car forums back when i was an UBER-n00b (tee hee ) and realized that shit was bull.... then started learning the real shit. my dad built land rovers in his spare garage which was where i really got my start. but those weren't really what i was into.

but x12047861 bout the e-thugs and ppl vin diesel gave the reach around to... not even a joke...

fa real tho, funny as shit what u said!

u guy have me lmao lets see i own 2 cars my lil 2 shitty d16 is slow and crap thats why i can walk on a em1 si and ep3 and buddy ur only lighter by shortly 300 pounds if that but ill agree d series in n/a for dont get u far ive swapped the block to a jdmd15b used a y8 headgasket y8 rebuilt head ported polished 7lb flywheel stage 2 clutch new motor mounts i/h/e and it might have 120whp if im luck or lil more figure higher compression and the block allot more rev happy and no it has int been tuned yet i dont think a tune would be all that worth since i have another car that can shut up most domestic drivers good driver can make up for diff mods

1. congrats on walking 16 second cars

2. you're nowhere near 120whp without a tune..... that's the most important part of your build. that's like putting a turbo kit on your motor and boring and stroking it but not putting gas in the car. it's pointless.

3. and all top of the line entry level domestic sport platforms all run around mid 13's what do you have that runs' that?

u will prolly bearly even tell a difference when a sohc vtec kicks in, but my dohc is fuckin loud and it sets u in ur seat (not to show off) but it does, b series 4tw, my vtec kicks in at 4,500

[WVU97GS-R]

honestly not knocking our but i'd take a boosted d-series over a b16 any day of the week.

boost of course. lower compression ratio, lack of vtec, and flat torque make it a very boost worthy motor. i would never do an n/a build on anything smaller than 1.8 liters to begin with

thats so true. i have seen so many a6 builds with a pieced together turbo kit and some simple piston/rod setups just murder some people, and i love the reaction when they are all like, "dude, you just lost to a single non-vtec" , priceless i say, priceless

if your gonna do the cl motor you can just go frankie and put the 3. head on top of a tl-s 3.2 block witht the 6m. very nasty in a earlier accord like say 99 or so

i dont know bout u other ex rivers but my engine deffinetly pulls aloot harder when vtec is engaged

dur, 5500? do I need to slap the both of you? vtec in the y8 engages at 4800 rpm and yeah redline is 7200 rpm. vtec would be pointless if it engaged at 5500 rpm not much of a rpm range

3 Stage vtec equipped engines
1st engagement is 2500 rpms
2nd engagement is 4800 rpms
vtec equipped engines
1st/only engagement 2500 rpms
vtec equipped engines
1st/only engagement is 4800 rpms
