That's a lot to chew on, thanks! I have slightly different goals in mind than rrussell, but it just goes to show that you can go a long way with a lean tune. That's a And thanks for the pointer on the T15 and the bike injectors. If I could get a T15 to spool up by 1500 rpm then that would suit...
Before I start, yes, I know that turbos are better, especially for high-end performance. I'm more interested in making sure the engine is boosted - and stays boosted - in the low-end, basically from 1k-2500 rpm. The gears on the CX/VX tranny are pretty tall so it would be very easy to stay in...
Normally I'd agree with you. The parasitic losses from running a turbo are lower, too.
However, the goal would be to try and get the engine under boost at the low end. One option would be to go the route this guy mentioned in his speculative post:
Using boost for mileage [ Archive] -...
Thanks for the feedback!
phyregod, if I can get a CX at a decent price (something that seems rather difficult), I will probably have a d15z1 dropped in there for good measure and go from there. I'm actually very interested in having a 3 or 4-lobe roots supercharger slapped on the d15z1 if it...
Interesting, so the VX has a modified body for lower CoD? I knew the engines were different (non-VTEC vs VTEC-E) but that was the only thing of which I was aware.
So a CX could probably get very close to a VX's fuel economy with a d15z1 swapped in? From what I've heard/read, they seem to have...
What were the major differences between the CX and VX Civics between '92 and '95? I understand that the engines were different (d15b8 for CX, d15z1 for VX), but what else? Didn't the VX have 13" alloy wheels or something, and if so, what did the CX have at stock?
I don't own a Civic yet (this...
