I went with my mate kriston to get his car mapped up after he built it, its an old eg civic, some of you saw his old red one at avon, he sold that one and bought this one, started off as a 1.3, the engine was quickly pulled out in favour of a 1.8 vti v-tech engine, he then ordered his turbo conversion kit from the states, and he has been building this one slowly as funds allowed, reason for posting is all the power we chase from our 2.3's is ridiculous when at only 10 psi on his 1.8 the car makes this kind of power, and remember it only weighs around 900kgs, so has got some power to weight ratio.
like the torque curve? lol

There is a lad at work with a s2000 with turbo, it's not running silly boost either but it really does shift. That graph is very good

My mates cvic type r is running 506bhp and was mapped in an hour unbelivable power dont make much torque tho

My Bluebird was the same. 1.8 16v completely stock engine responded a LOT better to relatively minor mods, compared to the bigger Volvo engine.

This is mainly due to the compression ratio being higher so you don't need to run that much boost to get the power out of them .and in Sweden and the USA they run n/a redblocks with turbos and get some amazing power out of them .but you need to listen to detention alot more due to the compression ratio .

Just a question is that crank power or whp but what ever it is it will be quick due to its weight .but would still like to know though
Post 632741 by LiamT4 on 2013-08-05 19:43:10
Also, it does help when the engine can rev to 8k.........

look at the graph though it would keep on climbing if it didnt run out of revs

B20 bottom block ( crv/hrv)
K20 top half (ctr)
Port n polished
With Nugent twin loop
Skunk 2 cams
Garret gt35 turbo
Sneaked in to a ek9 shell few years back in Ireland
The thing was pulling off close to 600 Bhp
Scary cars

Don't think K and B series blocks and heads are compatible are they?

[QUOTE=NORDIC R;633274]Bottoms and tops are[/QUOTE]
But they're not. The B series rotates counter clockwise, whereas the K series rotates clockwise (conventionally). I guess it wouldn't be impossible to mate the two up, but it would need huge changes to work, and I'm not sure there would be any point in it.
Are you sure it wasn't a K24 block (also in the later CRVs) and K20 head? That's a tried and tested combo.
Be interesting to hear more details about it anyway. I'm no longer a big Civic fan but always interested in wild Honda engines.
