im pretty sure a JDM D15B (its a lot more different than the North American version) can even beat the 1.8l civic stock
The normal D15B only has 92hp, JDM has 130ps
mybrother just got a 95 civic with a JDM D15B stage 2 V-tech engine swap...with camshafts, shortram air intake, port polished head, Complete exhaust system including headers, ECU tuning by TECKNOTIK.CA, stage 2 clutch, plugs nd wires....sumother stuff....revs over 8k...
so, id say its over 140hp....right now, its giving around 15mpg, like 100kms in the whole tank, i think the O2 sensors messed up or sumthing...
yea...back to the point, a JDM D15B
the engine has 60k, 130hp stock....with the mods, id say atleast 140hp....it beats any civic even the Acura 1.7l ...just doesnt beat SIRs hatches
yea...soo...point being, a stock JDM D15B 95 civic can probably beat the new 1.8l civic, the older ones lighter too
