Hey it wasnt my choice that my beast was an auto and since tranny swaps are not reccomended I figgered what the hell. But thanks anyways onward to a turbo then...And I mean no offense whenI say this but those numbers dont add up to me and prestage.coms calculations. If I only had 79 hp I should have been runing at like 18.8 but I had 17.1 and The 93 civic ex I raced that was a 5 speed put down 17.2 and best of 16.88. I know youre the ones with the dyno and know almost everythign honda (if not everything) but how else could these figures be right?

quote:3771d85535d HP is usually flywheel horsepower...... then you have to factor in drivetrain loss this will give you wheel horsepower which is what a CHASIS dyno will tell you. So in all reality you do have 125 horsepower coming out of your motor but by the time is sees the groudn you now have a mere 80

 

I went to www.prestage.com (interesting site BTW) and the only HP - ET calculators I could find were dealing solely in REAR wheel HP...big difference.

 

Okay my math must be really wrong then. I keep coming up with stuff like the number is about a 37 percent difference maybe its just my public ed background...But I still cant explain my race on sat.

 

93ex ardperformance.com sells auto b16s engtraecu for 1500 shipped but they are cable trans and if you were going to switch to cable you might as well do a 5spd with a hydro-trans and as for you beating a manual ex its beleivable since most d-series engines with autos get at lesat 200-300 more rpms before the revlimiter but thats just my opinion

 

Keep talking....and keep talking about this cable/hydro trans its news to me....
