I don't want to be an a$$ but what is up with all of these posts asking if some moded car could beat a modded SR. I mean if we say the SR would lose then would you sell your SR or not buy one. I mean best of luck to you in racing, but even if you lose who cares. I like my car because it is a great car, even if I lose to some random car.

I have a friend with a b16 turbo in a crx. He runs low 12's but a crx is also a lot lighter. I wonder how much a 4 door civic weighs. Vtec with a turbo can be pretty damn fast. Also what year civic is it? if i remember right the early 90's like 90-91 are the lightest. My buddy with a b16 in his 91 hatch runs flat 14's. Race him, and let us know how it goes. Ps. If i had to guess though i would think civic would have bad traction problems, car will be slow till he hits boost @ around 3000, and vtech at like 5200-6000, and if he launches hard he will just spin the tires.
well, mike_do just to let u all know rite now in my garage i have my 240 with the engine swaping so i'm almost done, some of u might not believe me if i have the car or not but if u want the picture will be post for prove. and with this sedan its a 92 and i dono its weight. Greddy make super afr but i think its the same as super afc. "super air fuel regulaor" "super air fuel ratio" i think the are the same... oh its not clutch master LOL its spec stage 3 from srswap. and yah thx guys i hope i smoke him this spring, i'll let u all know the results...
You'll more than likely beat him. If he has not built his block than you dont have anything to worry about because thats about as much boost as he can hold and you can turn yours up to 14 without beating the turbo up to much. 16max. I wont race a honda unless its from the light and I have a chance to ask them if they are force induced or I just use my judgement. If I get a ticket it better be worth woopin the shiznit outta it because its not worth racing any honda unless otherwise. Youv'e got the torque and control. If he dont have lsd he's gonna be sweeping the road for a few while your four lengths ahead. Iv'e always walked away from my cousins gsr suppa chagga from the light and on the h-way.You dont even have to dump the clutch cause he's already guarenteed to do that and if hes not on drag radial s than you good to go. Hondas....no torque biatches.
if its h-way i wouldn't worry much LOL, but if its 1/4 mile honda seem to be pretty fast cuz i got a pal with 92 hatch ls v-tec turbo and he running 13.5 on 1/4 with 7 lbs. but seem u all have confident on sr i wonldn't worry no more thx guys, i give u all the result this spring LOL, its quite a while....
but you should take him no matter what seeing if his motor isnt built he cant run much boostMy 2000 civic si iwht a drag kit and 10psi of boost made 262hp and about 180tq. I ran a 13.3 on 17inch enkei shoguns (heavy *** wheels) with a 2.3 60ft time. my 8th mile time was 8.1@89mph. My car was about 2800lbs i guess. I have never driven a 240 with an sr20. mines in the mail. But run him and see how you do. Just dont put down too much money as it might come down to the driver.

BTW...I beat my friend's 87 civic sedan with a b16a1 with basic bolt ons just the other night. By the end of third gear he said I had him about a bus length and a half.
Jus Curious... Are you sure it was a 87 Civic Sedan? 87 Sedan's came with carbed engines and a B16 swap would mean carb-to-fuel injection swap. I own a 87 Sedan, its just sittin on my driveway with a blown engine, just wondering if you could ask you friend how his swap was done. Thanx.

never happened! a b16 @ 9psi should be putting down around 225-250hp depending on the kit used.
your friend doesn't have a b-series trubo, those are d-series numbers with a i/h/e set-up.
