General Civic Talk - 0-60 for '99 DX?

Hey, I'm new to this site and new to civics. I'm just about to buy a 1999 DX sedan and want to know roughly how fast it goes 0-60. I also want to know if it'd be worth it to turbo or not. Umm, thanks ahead of time.

Haha not very fast if its bone stock :D But it's got a D16 which is a great engine to boost....should get you about 200 whp. Turbod16.com is a good site to check out.

lol, 12+ seconds?

the only way to describe a 0-60 for a stock civic is slow

I checked that one yesterday. Right around 14 seconds.

if it's anything like this, hella slow

wow...i figured at least ten seconds but i had no idea...kinda sad. If i were to get it around 200 whp would that reduce it substantly or not? Would it be worth to even do that?

200hp would require a turbo.

you'd be doubling the power at 200hp compared to stock and it would make a world of difference.

turbo(not sure how much power): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXlrpW4qs_g&feature=related

big difference lol

Here's a list (http://www.hondaclub.com/forum/articles/4859-stock-honda-1-4-mile-0-60-times.html) of times for various models, looks like 8.5 sec for the coupe...or so they say. Count on the time being exponentially slower with a slight incline. Accleration feels about the same as my 1998 4runner (3.4L V6) on flat ground. Uphill the 4runner would smoke the Civic.

Also, there is a big difference in times when comparing an automatic to a manual transmission in the EG Civic line. The automatic will ALWAYS shift for the best fuel economy :(

Who races in an Automatic though?

thanks for the info, i would plan on a turbo after what I've found out and hopefully get it under nine seconds. Thats my hope at least.

I would guess 200whp(basic turbo setup) would put it in the 6's(0-60 times) for a DX. But I wouldn't turbo an automatic.

+1
never turbo a honda slushbox

Save your money and buy something more performance oriented. That motor/trans is not worth the trouble, at all.

And, the only way you're in the 6's 0-60 in a boosted Honda is with a good driver, STICKY tires, and a great suspension setup. Wheel hops a bitch ;)

SUPERCHARGED K24!!!!!!!! do it! you won't!
