2.0 fd vs. sir

**yumyum** · February 2nd, 2009 10:48 AM

which one is fastest in stock condition?

**1D4LV** · February 2nd, 2009 11:35 AM

imho, the SIR has more HP pa din, i think.... not sure ha?

**alwayz_yummy** · February 2nd, 2009 11:47 AM

high-revving torqueless wonder ang local SIR..and consumes like a 2.0 accord...

kung local 2.0FD civic gusto mo, get a manual, di ka magsisisi.. 2.0 power in 2.0 consumption...

personally, ako, pag mag FD-civic, i'll get the USDM 4-door Si....better if its an jdm TYPE-R...babadtrip lang ako sa local FD civic at 09 city-- INALIS ANG ULT seats!

**kumagbehota** · February 2nd, 2009 11:47 AM

power to weight ratio... SIR pa din....

SIR:

bhp * rpm 160 * 7600
1034 kg

fd:
bhp * rpm 155 * 6000
1265 kg

FD 2.0L

Peak horsepower is not everything. It's the power curve that will tell you the whole story.

I have eaten up SiRs with my Project Sentra 2.0L with it's previously untuned engine.

nothing replaces displacement....

**Horsepower** · February 2nd, 2009 02:12 PM

except turbochargers (or a bunch of turbochargers)

**niky** · February 3rd, 2009 03:32 PM

The FD has a better torque curve than the SiR. The 1.8 FD is almost as quick as the SiR, and that's only 140 hp... the 2.0 has nearly the same power and much more torque. Given the weight difference, it balances out.

OT hope they re-release the 2.0s m/t version..

this time with color choices of Racing Blue, Carbon Bronze, Taffeta White, Passion Orange, Formula Red

**yumyum** · February 3rd, 2009 11:06 PM

so i better go with the fd 2.0 manual than the sir? i'm choosing between the racing blue 2.0 and passion orange sir. naisip ko rin FC, talo ako sa sir.

Is it possible to turbocharge a Civic FD? hehe

**XTO** · February 4th, 2009 10:32 AM

wala nang m/t na 2.0 kung brand new puro a/t nalang. FD can be turbocharged kaya lang panay eg, ek pa lang rin nakikita ko (dito sa don manuel-banawe st.) siguro this year (after 3 years and warranty expires) dadami na.

Kinda OT na. but yes.

**yumyum** · February 4th, 2009 11:24 AM

i've seen one turbo charged fd. a black one, from team fd.

**Memphis Raines** · February 4th, 2009 11:42 AM

This is a nice comparo. I wonder if the wheelbase can also be a factor.

**alwayz_yummy** · February 4th, 2009 01:03 PM

wheelbase comes in only during slalom attacks... wherein turning radius matters..pag drag-attack it desent matter... weight and torque matters...

My stock engine 1.8MT FD beaten up bunch of SIR's on the track several times. Im not a professional racer though.

You have better torque and a better chassis. SiRs are fast in a straight line, but the chassis rigidity and handling limits are actually lower than many more modern cars. A Honda Jazz can outcorner an SiR handily... as my cousin learned to his chagrin when he couldn't shake one off his ass on the BRC.

**ejaydpogi** · February 5th, 2009 12:15 PM

off the line from idle, fd 2.0 will win hands down. an fd 1.8 might also do the trick.

**alainroyce** · February 5th, 2009 01:09 PM

2.0 FD will win against SiR... SiR is overrated vehicle.. even the 1.8 FD stock can beat the SiR..
