Owning Hondas and being around them during my early formative driving years, in a time before the majority of them were turboed and the K-Series was still new, the sound of an N/A B-series or K-series just gets deep in my soul. I can understand when others who didn't grow up around the sound say that they don't like it, but there is no denying that it is unique.

Watching this episode now…. And he stated he loves that engine feel……… I think it’s because new cars you don’t get that feeling of being one, rolling through the gears and hearing the motor and intake not piped in…… it’s a visceral feeling a intertwining of human and machine singing together to the melody of high revs

[@mattres9173]

That was a nice 2-3-4 shift during that second pull! Effortlessly smooth!

For anyone worried about noise, theres an easy solution. A turbocharger will quiet it down substantially without losing any hp.

[@ivtec4fun55]

k series 90's civics and integras are so much worth the fun! Yes, you hear everything, rattles, squeeks, feeling the road, it's very engaging and an experience. When it revs to the moon pulling all the way on a stock engine in a cheap car. Beat the crap out of it all day and she'll keep rippin! Also, my double wide aluminum radiator would never let the car get over 145 degrees. Very not good for the engine on the street to run that cold, the tune was a pain when it doesn't warm up all the way. I switched back to stock style radiator. Feeling like that car is worth $10k. Labor time doesn't really transfer into the sale price.

[@Ontheregz]

I have a jdm k20a and 6spd lsd in my ‘00 em1. The sound and driving experience is amazing. VTEC through ktuned 4-1 and no cat is pure ear joy.

[@theejoeylee]

After you talked about how soft the engine is, you go into talking about the single stage thermostat in a large radiator and how it never gets up the operating temperature... If the motors never gettin warm than the ECU is probably pulling timing, running rich, and that's why you're down on power.
