Sr20 240 vs B16 Honda Civic
 

Ok, My friend is a Honda fanatic and has a 1993 Honda Civic. He want's to do a B16 engine swap(or something like that). We work together and everyday at work we argue on which would win a 1991 Nissan 240SX with a S20DET or a Civic with a B16? And this is with stock internal's and all that stuff. I say the 240 would win and he says the Civic. So can anyone who is not biased or just a very technical person chime in with what they think would win. We are both going to end up doing these swaps and want to race. Mind that we both are at about the same driving skill. So any help! lol

0-60 for the 240 should be around 6 seconds or 6.1. The B16 Civic is around mid to high 6. thatz my .02 cents anyway.

sr20

stock sr20det = 200hp to the crank and like 190torque

stock b16 = 160hgp and like 115 torque, unless he's light as poop he's done

Dr.

SR20 is a 2.0 litre

B16 is a 1.6 litre

Bigger engine = more power. + the SR20DET has a turbo and the b16 doesn't. I am pretty sure both of the cars weigh about the same and another thing, you have RWD and he has FWD. I'm pretty sure you would beat the Civic.

No way. That's way modest for both cars. i say mid to high 7's for both cars stock with swaps. 93 civics (esp. hatch) are way light. Power to weight ratio should be the same with the two cars. Sombody do some numbers to prove me wrong or right.

180sx test

you can expect a 0 - 100 km/h sprint to be despatched in low-to-mid 6 seconds( taken from the above link)

Even if it was a k20a you would still win. 0-60 in 8.5sec>

ummmm.....how light is poop?:dunno: :D

More hp, torque, and turbo > B16 civic in my honest opinion.

Thank's guy's appreciate the input. I found alot of that info after I posted and he has finally bowed down to me and admitted that he would lose. Thank's for the help guy's!

wait... if my numbers are modest, wouldn't mid to high 7's be even slower...? If you're hitting 60 in mid to high 7's in a Sr20det powered 240, there's something wrong... I can hit 60 in Ka Zenki at those times!

Stock KA's should do 0-60 in mid 7's. Especially if they had intake and exhaust. S14 SR20 0-60 is 6secs, so i imagine s13 sr should be low 6's

B16 = 160 HP FWD
SR20 = 208HP RWD
CA18 = 175HP RWD

RWD is better then FWD for drag, and all the JDM motors for Nissan push more power then a B16.

power to weight i'ed say is a tie if the honda is a bubble back. but you still have RWD advantage at launch.

it would depend on what model civic. if its a gutted hatch he might beat you, but if its a coupe, then you will take him. i have a sohc non vtec in my crx and it takes my 240 by a long shot, and its only about 110hp base. but then again my 240 still has the ka24de in it

yea, but isn't the crx is like the lightest chassis around (not including Lotus's 'n' the like)
