Newb with plans
Hey all, I go by Commeatus. I've just acquired an 86 accord hatch (CoD .31!) that will be a project over the next year or so. fe currently hangs around 25 mpg no matter what we do with it, but it needs a tune-up--the first step!
my goal is a car that gets 40-50 on the highway while retaining the excellent driving qualities of the 3rd gen accord. with custom engine mounts I can have ay of honda's A- and B-series engines swapped in with a transmission from a civic si or a prelude--I'm looking at the civic since the gears are closer together.
I'm interested to talk with the number crunchers here and find out relationships between fe, weight, and power delivery. for instance, the blocky CR-v weighs over 1.5 tons and gets 20/30 with a CoD of .45, roughly. what happens when I put that engine in my slippery, 1-ton accord? this is my current line of inquiry.
