New Rx-7 parts for dirt cheap!

I was just wondering...do you guys really think a a 1.3 liter turbo II rx-7 would beat a 1.6 liter civic with a b16a? I didnt think so. Honda's are the easiest car to make fast and their parts are inexpensive unlike Rx-7's where parts prices are astronomical! STP!!!!

Is this guy joking? He sounds like the guy that wanted to swap a honda motor into an rx-7. He said, well 1.6L+turbo is faster than 1.3L+turbo right.

What variables are we talking about? Full interiors. S4 or S5 T2? Which civic, EG or EK or EJ8 or what?

A T2 with $1000.00 into it with a full interior would beat a Stock civic or even an Si that had a $1000.00 into it.

Turbo back exhaust and FCD you're likely to push 250 at the shaft. I don't think the Civic with the B16a would even break 200hp at the crank with $1000.00 in exhaust work. Weight wise is probably around 300 lb difference.

well the b16 has 160 stock. i know i use to have a few crx's. they rev to 8200 just as high as a rotory. it depends on what year civic the b16 is in. if your talking about a 99,00 si. those only run a 15.7 from factory. a t II is almost a second faster.

Integra LS has a B18 non vtec. With boltons vs my bolt ons Si... was either dead even or whoever got the jump pulled a little. VTEC isn't that wonderful of a thing. A TII will eat a '99 - '00 alive.. now a B16 in say an EG vs a stock S5 TII that could be more of a whoever drives better.

oh, since this post was started.....the guy that posted probally was talking about his 91 honda hatch he's getting a b16a...n/a he wont have turbo money for a while. What do you guys think, will he be faster then an 87 t2 with a rebuild motor (30k ago) and RB 3in turbo back exhaust and intake? Even if he gets the tubo...dont know the size?? I really dont. Let me know what you think.

naa.. he'll have the 1st gen b16. 160hp. which is atleast a 10 year old motor and with only 30k miles (so they advertise) not likely.. but ne ways... he'll see 15's with just the motor. boltons do little to a honda basicaly they are a 1,000.00 + for more noise and a little torque. It's not until you do internal work that the boltons start actually doing something for the car. The TII should be able to wave goodbye.

My friend has a '93 CX hatch with a b20/vtec full built high compression blah blah.. his best was 13.04. with a Total of 5g's invested including the car. Now he has Hondata (standalone ECU) and ITB's... that's a budget racer and it's pretty damn quick too

To use all 1.6 liters of the Honda's four stroke engine, the crankshaft must turn two times for four power pulses. When a 13B rotary turns two times, it also experiences four power pulses but uses 2.6 liters of combustion chamber volume, not 1.3 liters.

Someone once posted that RX-7's are considered in the 2.5 liter class for some sort of road racing, and I agree. I consider the RX-7 engine to be a 2.6 liter rotary because for the same number of crank turns, it uses that much air/fuel as a conventional auto engine. Or you could look at it the traditional way (the way two stroke motors' displacements are identified) and call it a 1.3 liter, similarly to how a 500cc two-stroke dirt bike motor uses the same volume of air / fuel as a 1000cc four-stroker, at the same rpm.

VTEC , put simply, allows most Honda cars to gain massive amounts of horsepower and torque by simply unlocking the technology with a "Powered by VTEC" sticker.
