I'm New and need help!

[aesg]

hello honda crv forum guys! i am from honduras, central america. im 20, and a couple of months ago they bought me a honda crv from 2001 as a gift because i graduated from high school 2 years ago. my mother bought for her last year the 2006 one. mine was once rear ended, the cost of reparation was of 500 dolars. only the rear bumper was wrecked. i have been looking for performance information about the car. i think it is the lx series, fwd, automatic, no abs. i have searched information about it but always find something different, as its weight, 0-60 figures, quarter mile times, 100-0 times/distance. so what better place to ask than a crv forum?

well this is what i really want to know...
1)0-60mph time
2)hp with 90 octane or more (i know it does 146hp and 133 lbs/feet with 87 octane)
3)weight (take in mind it is fwd, no abs, and auto)
4)quarter mile time
5)60-0mph
6) if the 2.0 liter has the vtec technology

i really appreciate your help guys...

Hola aesg,
Bien benido al VC-R OC.

Excúseme mi gramática. Es alrededor del tercero grado cuando paro my educación formal del español . Sea libre a criticarme.

La fuerza de caballo es igual con octano 87 o cualquier numero de octano mas alto. Con el octano de Sunoco 93 es también igual. O con Sunoco Ultra 94. Si hay una diferencia entonces hay un problema en el motor de un principio!

Si el octano es menos de 87 y tu motor tiene un sensor de 'Knock', la computadora retardará el tiempo para que no tenga 'Knock'. Sera así si tienes uno en tu modelo, no estoy seguro pero creo que si. Depende donde está hecho y para cual mercado. En ese caso la fuerza de caballo pudiera desmenuzar con octano 85 por ejemplo. Pero no aumentará por que la sincronización es optimizada para el octano 87. Cualquier octano más alto es botar el dinero. ¡De verdad! Todo lo que hace cuando es más alto es subir el punto a donde explota la gasolina. Pero no tienes más energía. Sin tener más energía y estar programado para cambiar el tiempo o el ciclo de combustión, no puede tener más fuerza de caballo. Es imposible siguiendo las leyes de physica.

Usted necesita tener cuidado que no hay ningún daño al metal debajo de la defensa. O la zona del arrugamiento que no está machacada sin ver se fácil. Si algunas selladuras de calquín se abren o el metal unido se separa, el agua puede entrar a metal del piso posterior o los guarda fangos puede causar corrosión en el futuro. Oh de bajo de la pintura y no se nota asta en el futuro cuando la pintura tenga signos de separarse con oxido entres el metal y el primer.

Check out internet under (wikipedia honda crv) it does not have all the tech but it does provide some useful info.

TcTurner and others,
I 'm not trying to keep anyone out of the loop. I was just trying to practice a little Spanish. You regulars know all about octane and hidden body damage anyhow.

If there are any objections, I will spend lots of valuable time translating it. :(

For all I know aesg could be French or Swedish. :)

I kinda like that proverbial line you posted and quote:


"A FOOLISH MAN SPEAKS WHEN HE HAS NOTHING TO SAY AND A WISEMAN LISTENS WHEN HE HAS NOTHING TO HEAR";)

To AESG welcome aboard and hope to hear from you more.:)

Radar24 I have no objections to you showing off to us English only speaking common peasants.
Just kidding I think it is great that you helped aesg in his own language but I am sorry to miss out on your answer though.They are usually good and informative.

[aesg]

thanks for ur replies, i tried wikipedia once but i dont trust it that much bc it can be easily edited. i also understand about the knock sensors, but learned a way for it to accept the higher octane. the things that i have found are completely different to the model i have. so thats why i wanted to ask.

thanks for the welcome and for the info...hope u guys can help me more.

aesg,
We would like to know how you defeat the knock sensor so that the power curve will work with higher octane.

Even modifying or defeating the sensor, advancing the timing does not necessarily increase HP. Is that right guys? :confused:


CR-V OC community,
Sorry about the Spanish. I thought aesg might understand my comments better. It seems that was not necessary as he prefers to continue in English . Or maybe my Spanish just sucked big time. :o

i was actually glad to see someone could talk, or write in spanish here...i once tested the knocking sensor advice to defeat it as u said, i read about it in a toyota corolla xrs forum, and they said that it worked with almost every 4 cilinder in between 1800 and 2400 cc. what u have to do is add the octane booster, turn on and off the car like 3 or 4 times, and the knock sensor adapts to the higher octane, i actually tryed it and our last car, which was a corolla 1.8 and it worked so im planning to try it with the crv.

nobody has answered my other questions though, 0-60 times and that other stuff so would anybody do it? i appreciate it alot!

[Radar24]

aesg,
The CR-V is not your typical twaeker’s Honda sled. That is why 0-60 and 1/4 mile times may not be known for stock CR-Vs.

What is the purpose of increasing HP in the first place? Towing? A CR-V has only limited towing capability almost certainly being a uni-body construction and not body on frame construction. Not to exceed 1500 pounds on the ’07-‘08! It most vertainly is heavier than a '01 with all the additional safety stuff. So capable of towing heavier loads???

Not that I am convinced about the timing self readjustment scheme. I suppose it is entirely possible as part of debugging or other abnornal sitiations. But I would think that is only a Toyota thing on specific models only. Not a generic method to most 4 cylinders.

If I am not mistaken, the output power is for the most part a function of the energy in the fuel, the amount of air into the combustion chamber, compression and operating temperature (efficiency increases as operating temp goes up and intake air goes down as defined by the 'Rankine cycle' definition). Advancing timing does not necessarily increase HP output.

As I stated in the first Spanish reply, increasing octane does not increase the energy content of the fuel. Only the point at which fuel detonates or explodes is raised for the purposes of higher compression requirements. Like on a 66 Corvette with 11.5:1 compression ratio high output 327 (just an example I made up). On the ’07 CR-V it is a respectably high 9.7:1 ratio. I would have expected nothing higher than 9.0:1 ratio. So Honda is already playing games with the ratio and timing. The octane requirement on the ’07-’08 is 87 pump octane or higher. The ‘higher’ octane is meant only to prevent detonation. Not for more power!

Of course it goes without saying I have no idea what the computer does with the knock sensor info.

What is advancing the timing possibly buying you without other engine modifications?

2002 Honda CR-V EX 16.50 s 81.7 mph this is the 1/4 mile time and speed.

well the 2001 CRV is gonna be slower than this because it has the 2.0L b20z engine and the 2002-2006 has a 2.4L Vtec engine
