Well the only thing I can say that has gone really wrong with the car is that the driver's side window crank teeth was chewed up, so drivers window can't go down.
Alternator replaced when it blew (approx 10+ years on original alternator so not bad!)
The stock OHC 8 valve engine is a bit underpowered (120hp) but VERY reliable. HAS NEVER blown anything. Always revved it up to redline and never blew.
Abused the crap out of it and never burned oil or cracked a cylinder head.
KILLED crappy hondas with my SOHC Quad 4 8-valve little baby hahahahahahaah.
My car is 4 door... lol imagine that passing your civic with the massive wing!
Decided on a new engine for it because I wanted MORE power. New engine is still a Quad 4 but a W41 model High output.
**UPDATE*** New engine keeps up with mustangs & corvettes. 4 doors baby!
Well about the only negative thing I can say is that I don't believe your car can keep up with corvettes and mustangs. I also have a 93 2.3l quad 4 h.o.and it is quick, but not that quick. I love mine, but lets keep it real.
You have a H.O. which is good for about 160-170 at the flywheel? A W41 is a TOTALLY different animal. Try 185-190hp. I dynoed at 187. Sure the stangs pull away, but when you ram on first gear and start catching up at 70km/h finally shifting at redline at 100km/h seeing their faces around 120km/h with you beside them is classic. BE CAREFUL in commenting on an engine you don't own or know nothing about ;) Not to knock H.O's, but they're nothing compared to the olds W41 package.
Hi there!
Where did you get that W41 engine from? I`m planing on getting one too, but they seem to be hard to find. If you know of any W41 engine, please let me know. My email is Andrew_Bruestlein@hotmail.com. I live in Cologne Germany and drive a 92 Chevy Beretta GTZ.
Cheers.
Andy.
