Me and my friend's integra with CR-V motor lined up tonight. He peeled off and I just did a normal start. We were dead even through 1st and 2nd gears. I started pulling on him in 3rd gear but had to shut it down. Anyway, it was a fun race and he really appreciates S2000's peformance as well as the handling and braking.....

 

What mods did your friend have? and also which B20 motor?

 

I really dont know all about it but he told me he runs high 12s to high 13s......

 

sorry i meant low 13s

 

you`re lucky that motor wasn`t in a HB

 

I'm surprised that it runs low 13's with a NA CR-V motor. We have two local Civics with CR-V motors. Both of which are turbocharged and both of them run mid to upper 12's and put about 280 hp to the wheels.

 

depends wether it was straight crv or had a vtec head. Straight crv will fall flat on it`s face after 6500 rpms but a decent crvtec setup would do 13`s all motor w/ the right parts.

I thought all CRVs have vtec... Can you tell me which ones do and don't?

 

do not quote me on this BUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

I though tthe CRV had the Accord 2.3L VTEC in it? That motor isn't going to propel anyone to the 1/4 in less than 14 unless it is touched by a god.

 

The CRV engine is a b-series block motor, derived from the B18A/B series of engines. It is not a VTEC engine. The first CRV engine was the B20B4. The next version was the B20Z, with increased compression being the primary change. Both engines use an 84mm bore and 89 mm stroke. On the stock bottom end 7500 rpm is not a problem, but the head and cams will not make power up there.

Most hybrid owners choosing to go with the B20 are now adding a B16 VTEC cylinder head to the engine. The potential exists (with the right parts) to create a streetable engine producing 215-220 hp and 150-160 lbs-ft _at the wheels_. The parts are readily available, all it takes is money.

The typical B20 VTEC conversion that I've seen produces between 160 and 180 hp to the wheels with a lot of torque. In a 2600 lbs car, 180 wheel hp will propel you into the 13's at over 100 mph. In a 2200 lbs car, it's good for low 13's, maybe even high 12's.
