KiNK43 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Out of interest jake, where in the revs does it start to pick up?Ermmm. It's top endy as it is.1-3k sluggish.3-5.5k feels Torquey picks up well in any gear.5.5-8.5k obviously starts to go well high up in the revs. I keep reminding myself it's a n/a 1.8And that considered it's good.Tuner also told me he could make it better at low revs with adjustable cam gears but then would loose top end. Always a compromise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a compromise.Wouldn't want to sacrifice top end for low end grunt IMO. I think the combination of exhaust and skunk2 intake side makes it naturally better up top too!!

KiNK43 Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Absolutely. Try and poke it low down and that sweet honda sound turns into a barrage of farts accompanied by no power for 5 seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbob738 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 yeah but if you took the 2.5" off and replaced with a nice 4-2-1 2.25" and same bore exhaust it instantly returns, the 2.5" bore isn't really suited to the b18c4 as its not ported and polished like the ITR but the intake mod helps things as the standard c4 intake is soooooo restrictive its untrue in my opinion the worst thing Honda put on a B series engine, made sense on paper ( due to economical driving and fuel consumption) but not in practice, just chokes up top end power.I bought the dual Valve ITR springs and looking for cams now to try and get past the low end issues on the b18c4 I think a mild polish and 3 valve seats will make it a different engine IMHO. I like the SOHC D16 and D15 for the intakes they had on them, they roared like fook with a £20 induction kit on them and went like a biatch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
