Krzys Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Ooooh ok i get it now!! Lol ta for explaining lolSo we get vtec!! Then that is improved MORE by iabs!!Yep! The B18C4 is a compromise between pottering around town and out right hooning and trying to get the best MPG whilst doing either, not that it matters too much as we'd all have Ecoboost motors or VW Bluemotion's if we were that bothered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Thank you for the info guys!! Starting this civic project has been such a great learning curve for me! And as for the small package next to the opie oils box... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Just to add to all the above info, you'll notice that most other vtec engines B18C/K20 etc the vtec crossover is much louder/noticeable but it's also much higher up the rev range. With these engines everything happens at once, when the vtec cam lobe engages it also adds the extra air, with ours, as said, it happens in stages which is why the crossover is less noticeable but the engine as a whole is more useable without having to constantly wring it's neck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 You lot are just getting me more tempted to get a B18! I quite like the VTi badge on the interior trim. I might do this if you don't mind me using your idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'm obviously bias towards the B18 as its all ive driven and all i know!! LolNow i know more about the VTEC and IABS ranges it seems im in VTEC quite a lot haha... I thought it kicked in at about 5500 ish lol! Never mind!Cheers kyfer, no problem as i got the idea from Carl747's Vti-S Deck... Unsure if the Vti-S comes as standard with the dash emblem or not but it looks kool anyway!!Hope you dint mind me posting it here Carl?

vtec2011 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Cool, I will be taking the Civic badge off the boot, spray it gun metal grey or black and stick it on the dash... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Not standard on the dash, just a boot badge stuck on dude! Well least the VTi-S I'm about to fetch doesn't have one on the dash anyway, is a nice touch though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakey135 Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Yeah looks meant to be on the Vti-S!!In other news...My first gear is a bit clonky at times when putting in gear from a stop, and it pulls quite hard when i go up to second aswell... Even when i try to control throttle and clutch to get a smooth transition into 2nd but it still jolts the car as if im being hard on the clutch...Anything i need to look into here or is it just how these box's and clutches are?
