1998civicsi

hey everyone!
I GOT A 98 civic si...1.6 sohc vtec. just minor bolt ons ( exhaust and intake) ..i got a guy i know from school (college) who said he could beat me in his 95 sunfire swapped with a 2000 sunifre 2.4 gt engine


is it true or not? besides that his car is stock. so would he take me??????????????? and also i know this isnt a domestic website, but would anyone know if the 2000 2.4gt engines from sunifre are the same as a 2000 cavy z24 ?

hit me back ppl
thanks!

yes the z24 and sunfire gt motors r the same, and yes he will beat you .hes got more power and more torque, 150hp and 150lbs lbs of torque.

1998civicsi

Brett

2.4L GT engine? why the hell would he swap that motor in. That quad 4 motor is like THE WORST motor GM ever made. So many problems with that thing. I'd rather just stick with the 2.2L

coreyhayman

^ the 2.4l isnt a quad 4 motor, only the 95 z's and gt came with the quad 4 and its a 2.3l not a 2.4l

my girl got a 98 2.2 sunfire...and i have a stock 95 cx and i smoke her everytime off the line and we race for about 300-1000 feet...or maybe she just dont know how to push the car.

imported_nsr250

Oh you're right haha , aren't quad 4's also in olds alero and i think maybe some grand am's too?

coreyhayman

yeah there in some grand ams, not to sure about the alero's

1.6L SOHC VTEC... never! the sunfires are too Torquey but die in the top end

i had a 2.0L DOHC NEON, and i ate those things left and right... and plus i had some torque too something i miss so much....
wirth the mods i had on my Neon, i was as quick as a civic swapped with a GSR motor

all i had was Intake, chipped, AFX pully, solid FMM, solid rear bobble strut, and i dont remember, but that car was fun to drive and not to mention pretty damn confortable.

I have a 95 Civic and a 96 Sunfire. The Civic will have the lead until about 60-65km/h. After that the sunfire will accelerate faster because of the oversized engine.

I've raced 'em many times. And mine is a 2.2 not a 2.4. :P

Sorry man. It's raw power comming out of the Sunfire engine. It's not far from twice the size of yours.

Pimpin-EL

Can i beat the sunfire? my EL has a b16a n an intake only

coreyhayman

no ull lose as well, as long as its a gt..u got 160hp and 127ish or w/e torque and u weigh more, sunfire is lighter and has 150hp and 150lbs

imported_Yuki

Depends on the race type.

0-60: you'll win.

1/4 mile: he'll win.

anything longer: he'll win.

drifting: you got the stuff baby.

There are always someone else faster. You need to get your car dyno-ed / tuned and start making changes that way. Racing another car won't tell you anything.

imported_Yuki

True man. Very true !

imported_loudsubz

neons are torqy little fer's lol

I had one come up behind me the other night as I pulled onto winston churchill, I was driving normally and shifted at 3000 rpm and i hear this loud sound coming from behind and some yougn kid was gunning his Neon, so i stepped on the gas and stayed with him but then shifted to 3rd and let him go cause it was like almost 80 in residnetial area, it had some *****
