Thanks
Travis

d16z6 i believe.... somewhere around 120 hp

Si/EX = D16Z6 125HP@6600RPM 7200RPM 4800RPM

125 on a good day lol

thats kife ass, is that to the ground or flywheel? It still goes pretty good for a 4 banger. Would the air filtyer and removing the air silencer help at all/ i know removing the air silencer on my stang is 10hp dyno'd. anyone know? Also i have full 2 1/4 exhaust with a fart tube. What do u think im at?

Travis

that's to the flywheel.
As for the mods you have so far, you're probably somewhere around 127, that's if the motor is running perfect.

that's flywheel hp. With the exhaust and air silenceer I'd guesstimate +5 hp? :shrugs:

your probably pushing 105-110 hp at the wheels... you gotta take d16's apart to get anything note worthy from them...

then i shouldnt be able to beat sunfire GT's they have 160 hp. But i do. Hmm. I read that the si had 165 hp, maybe thats the american one.

Well i have a US 95 civic ex coupe (EJ1), its an EX not SI in the states. It came with the 125hp d16z6. The 1999-2000 US SI's have the 160hp b16a2.

i also have the 94 si .... i love it .... but it needs more balls!

sometime it's not just the horse power of the car.
you can have a 200hp car but u can still beat them
but they are heavy like a f*ker. that's the reason y
if you are talking about the same car and wif different
engine inside than you'll know which one is faster.
also sometime it's all about the driver too..
maybe you did beat the cavalier but maybe they didn't
even race...

reasons you can beat a sunfire

1. your car is lighter than a sunfire.
2. your car has a wider powerband than a sunfire.
3. sunfires are built in america.
4. sunfires are turds
5. sunfires are built in america.
6. the sunfire could have been automatic
7. hondas are mad tite fast y0!
8. sufires are built in america. (didnt i say that already?)

it was a standard sunfire GT i know the guy he races regularly and he was 'givin er' maybe its my 'mad tight skills yo' as some people would say. I dunno anyways its a good reliable winter/ regular driver, my mustang has more balls when i need it. lol.

Actually Jay, that's where you are wrong, Civics are built in America (in this case probably Canada) and Sunfires/Cavaliers are built in Mexico. We found 3 Mexican beer caps under a buddy's spare tire... scary...

Travis, does your vin start with a "1" or a "2"?

the first number in the vin is a 2 (whats this mean)

Travis

^^ It means check your trunk for american beer ^^

you wont beat a sunflower....
120hp vs 160hp

come on now... and i'd imagine their torque is WAY higher, and that's what comes into play... TORQUE.

My vin # starts with a JHM... What does that mean??

LOL.

I suspect you could beat a Sunfire/Cavalier, they are built like crap. My Mom has one and it drives terrible. IT'S EVEN NEW (2003).

JHM means Japan built Honda... same as mine :) mad tyte jDm

I saw a Civic get raped by a Sunfire yesterday while I was filling up. They were at a stoplight by the gas station, and I heard a little squealling, and then the sound of angry hampster powa as the Civic was eating Sunfire dust. got beat by a good 3-4 car lengths.
