wanting to know if my tib ( 97 1.8 full catback exhaust, cold air intake, new clutch) can beat a 92 RS integra with a stock b18, 192,000 miles? friend of mine is looking at one and hes already talking mess to me, was wondering if anyone would know if i can take it? b/c hes starting to be a dick evil.gif about my car since he started to looking at this car. Help would be great. thanks

 

Well here how it breaks down the integra has (140@6300rpm-HP)&(126@5000rpm-Torque (lbs-ft)) stock your tib has (130@6000rpm-HP)&(122@5000rpm-Torque (lbs-ft)) stock. With your cat & cold air you most likely have more HP but not by much. So it would come down to driver skill. Hit you shifts and u will win.

 

Good calculations.

A LOT of folks forget that driver skill is 90%, the machine is 10. I used to beat folks in my Sprint because I knew how to drive.

 

You also have to factor in that the Integra ha almost 200,000 miles on it. If the car was taken care of, this is not a problem. If it is beat.... it probably is done on power and torque.

 

doesnt the b18 have more than 140hp?

 

Which B18 is it?

B18C1 170hp 94-97 GSR
B18C5 195hp 97-98 TYPE-R
B18A1 130hp 90-93 INTEGRA
B18B1 140 hp 94-97 INTEGRA
B17A1 160 hp 92-93 INTEGRA

 

my driving skills are good
my car redlines at 6500 not 6000
its a 93 and he claims it has 140hp
i told him if he can drive good he can run it good, he didnt say much bout that. so i will find out soon.

 

when is the best time to shift? This car is my first manual and I'm still trying to learn some "drivers skill"

 

i dont realy know about 1st Gens. but my 2rd gen auto shifts around 6500. i dont know if that helps.

 

well i have beat that gen & newer ls integras in my 01 tib, i know mine is a 2.0 but they are pretty close. And i shift at about 6500-6700, you can kind of feel a little less pull in 3rd or 4th once you hit that rpm, before you hit the rev limiter
