four barrel?

do you mean four banger or four barrel carb? I'm confused.

 

Whats the difference?!?! i'm used to american engines. what qualifies for the d series. what are the other series and what qualifies for those. thanks!

 

d-series is the sohc motors found in most american civics. B-series are the more powerful Dohc motors found in civics and integras.and yes Ohbiskits, you'll feel it, it makes it more responsive and it feels torquier. and when i did it to my d15, i went from about 22-23 mpg, to about 30-33 mpg city mileage on premium.

 

whats the difference between four-banger and four-barrel?

 

See, thats what I'm asking. you said four barrel, I have no idea waht you were saying when you said that.

Generally though a four barrel is a carbeurator, which we don't use anymore.

 

thanks sacicons i think im gunna do that this weekend...i just had a hose blow today tho so thats first on my list to get me back up and runing...TODAY hopefuly....for the record i was a little confuesd on the four barrel thing too, but i just took it as a carb...oh well..later guys

 

MAKE SURE YOU RUN PREMIUM. advancing the ignition and running regular will cause detonation and hurt your motor.

 

yea no probelm if it helps in anyway im up for it...you said 18 BTDC? thats the perfect number? little more little less? let me knoe...oh yea by the way fixed my hose problem when i came home my dad had looked at it and he found that it was the heater house and i dont use heater nor ac because the dont work so we just capped it...no more probelm!

 

yeah, 18 is best. 16 is stock. there is one mark on the crank pulley by itself, thats tdc. then there is three marks next to each other, line up the mark on the timing belt cover with the one farthest away from the tdc mark. any more than 18* will move too much power away from the top-end. I advanced mine too much because i didnt have the timing belt cover on, and with that and an ex tranny, i went from 17.2@ 83mph to 16.6@78. if i could have set the timing right, i could have broke 16.5 or 16.4 and close to 85mph. oh well, ive got that beat now

 

Has anyone else tried this? I live in l.a. and am in high school, if your from around here gas prices aren't that cheap. So if this really does provide for a significant increase in low end torque, let me know.


Thanks, Josh
