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 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.

stock video I posted earlier: http://video.aol.com/video-detail/94...id=VIDURVAUT06

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

big difference lol

 

Here's a list 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
