I figure you might know the answer to this question. Has the '92-95 Civic DX been considered for a move to ITB?
Right now it's in ITA at 2050lbs, which is laughable if anyone thinks you could actually hit that. I don't know if I could even get an EX to its classified 2305lbs. Our old ITC car was classified at 2140lbs and I never came close to hitting that.
Compared to your EF DX that got the move to ITB, it's not that different. Power is the biggest difference, which looks like this:
EF DX - 92hp & 85 lb-ft with DPFI
EG DX - 102hp & 92 lb-ft with MPFI
The gear ratio's are actually worse:
EF DX - 3.25, 1.89, 1.26, 0.94, 0.77
EG DX - 3.25, 1.76, 1.17, 0.91, 0.70
The brakes appear to be virtually identical:
EF DX - (F) 242 x 21 Vented Disc, (R) 181 x 39 Drum
EG DX - (F) 240 x 21 Vented Disc, (R) 180 Drum
Other than that stuff, the displacement (1495cc) and compression ratios (9.2) are identical. The wheelbases are 98.4" for the EF and 101.3" for the EG. Plus both cars came stock with 13" wheels, and the aero is probably very similar for the two. Rear suspensions are virtually identical. In the front, the EF uses a front radius rod setup while the EG uses a rearward radius rod setup, but are pretty much identical in operation.
With the EF DX classified in ITB at 2240lbs, I don't see why the EG DX couldn't be put in ITB too around 2400-2450lbs. Does that sound like enough for the extra 10hp and 6lb-ft over the EF? With almost everything else being nearly the same, that's about all that would need to be adjusted for.
I think that classification would be really good for ITB. There's a ton of those cars around with great aftermarket support. You know people would build them. So what's your opinion on it?
