Hey OB, this story is for you. Tonight im bored with nothing to do. so i go out in my pony. I'm driving along, and i buzz around on the highway for a while, and then decide to take it in for the night. So im comming back and taking off from a red light slowly see headlights zipping in and out of people. He catches up to me and i laugh, i head his VTECH kick in and i pull hard in second, and catch up to him. And then i get behind him and he pulls a u-turn, so of course i follow. He then goes into a local resturant and pulls over and i come up to his window and he opens his door and comes over to my window. he says, not bad for 1,000 is it. I laugh and his buddy says. lol. Arent you the guy we jst smoked back there?" so be being prud of my v-8 i said. You wannarace that piece of ****? he says "yeah, anytime". So i said, how about now. Then he says by the way i just ran it a NEDW and i got a 13.5. I beat mustangs all day long. So i sid, lets go then. Then to top it off h says, you know its got a b-16 or o something. lol. and i have engine management, and a cold air kit with exhaust. lol. I was still happy for this race. S we pullout and there is a red light but one person is in the other lane. So i sit net to his car and hold up traffic and he said. ON 3. So i let him count and of course he takes off before me and i pull a car on him to 70 mph. we come bak together and he complains about traction. i laugh and yell from a 30. He down shifts and i saw go, we take off and i take almost 2 1/2 on him. and then another red light. We stop and go, i got a perfect launch and i killed him. He just shrugs his shoulders after he blows by me. We then went to his house and he shakes my hand and says, you must have a supercharger in this. So i said what i had and his buddy didnt belive me. Then i tell him to coem to NEDW this wednesday and he says ya. Cool kid, but doesnt know about cars. Another ricer killed with my SLO 4.6

"Arent you the guy we jst smoked back there?"

I love the ricers that pass you on the highway think they won a race.

On my way back to school, there was a riced out 92 maybe? LX stang bright orange with a ****load of stickers... not even a 5.0, i know these cars are damn slow cause my gf has a 92 vert. But they were weaving in an out of traffic and blow by me while giving me a look. Well i couldnt have any of that so i catch up to it going about 80-85 (It's in the right lane im in the left) The kid looks at me and just looks like he stomped on it. Well i shifted into 4th, i know 3rd had atleast 10-15mph left but i wasnt going to hurt my car for this. Im pretty sure when they stomped on it they didnt excellerate i fly like 3-4 cars by. I then dropped back and get next to him and give him a look like hes an ass... he gives me the finger then exits.

One of the funniest things ive seen on the road.

Just sorta raced against the last generation prelude
Or was it this one.
Anyhoo it was newish and he was toying with me and crap.
Didn't really feel like going, was almost out of gas and I was a little ways from the station.
But we get to a 2 lane stoplight, I'm in back of him.
Hes edgin forwards looking back at me in his mirrors.
So I give a little rev saying FINE.
Light turns, he just dumps the clutch squeeked the tires and crap.
So I decide I'll just pass the guy to shutem up.
So I pull up and get on his ass and notice him punch it(like when the white smoke comes out for a sec when you accelerate hard)
and So I do to near the top of second gear.
I dart over into the right lane and just slam it into third passing him very easily.
Toss it into fourth and get up to about 5500rpms
and just let off
Hearing my wonderful cackle[sm=smiley20.gif]
Then I notice him on the left side of me after a couple secs just looking forward still winding out his car.
Then I turn onto the highway and leave him be.
Didn't even wanna give me a thumbs up or nothin [:@]

If he really runs 13.5 then that really is a very respectable kill. That's what my Z ran stock.
I raced a civic at the strip that ran 13.9. It looked and sounded stock; I was very impressed.[:-]

i want to know why most of you v8 guys want to go make fun of hondas. make fun of the ricers driving the cars not the cars themselves. the 00 SIs have 100 hp per liter NA. no stock ford has that. that would be the same as your GT making 460 hp stock NA. i think hondas deserve some respect due to that fact and that they will run longer than any other car on the road.

Now, care to tell me he posted it to just tell a simple story? hrmm.. ;)

And the B16 is not the top of the line B series, that'd be the b18c5. the B16 is the bottom of the barrel of the DOHC VTEC motors. Yes, it's true. It's got great potential but the B18c line has MUCH MUCH more.

oh that's right, you big bad domestic boys make ALL your power down low and don't need to rev high- of course with all the pistons and displacement that you guys have tucked under your rusty hoods a honda motor could have made double the power

but i'm proud of the dude at the top who beat the b16 civic- but your posted best time is 14.5 and you managed to beat a 13.5 second civic?
was the air REALLY cold that night? is that what accounts for the full second or better that you shaved off your quarter mile time?

or did you just make your girlfriend get out of the car?

Dan mucho respect to you... but what you just stated and the link you just gave... COMPLETELY contradicted each other...

The survey, the largest of its kind to gauge automotive reliability, yielded information on the serious problems our subscribers have faced with some 675,000 privately owned or leased cars, trucks, minivans, and sport-utility vehicles. It shows that among cars less than a year old, the average problem rate for European cars and trucks was 20 per 100 cars. For domestic vehicles, it was 18 per 100. In our 2002 subscriber survey, U.S. and European automakers were tied at about 21 problems per 100. The graph below shows the trend for vehicles up to eight years old.

Overall, the most reliable vehicles continue to be those from Asian automakers. The problem rate for the newest models among all Japanese and Korean vehicles is holding steady at 12 per 100.

As the comparison tables show, Acura, Honda, Infiniti, Lexus, Mazda, and Toyota have been the most reliable makes over the past five model years, based on the average problem rates. (Those averages can mask a wide range of problem rates among individual models; reliability varies from model to model for most makes.)

18 per 100 is a higher number than 12 per 100... I'm confused by your statement compared to the link you gave us???

Ford has 276 problems
Honda has 209 problems

Um alright.... those cars that never reach 50 mph & are never modified or beaten up on by teenagers have less problems. who would have thought?

Apparently Lincoln buick and cadillac are doing something that GM and Ford aren't, as Honda still scored higher than GM and Ford... but since Mustangs aren't built by Cadillac I'd say your point is null.

I never said anything about Ford. Can't argue the facts man, I guess I should have known better than to post this.

Lincoln, Buick & Cadillac are more luxery based cars, (note Lexus being #1) Superior build quality, they are a GM & Ford product still. I don't know why you are so insistant about Honda placing higher than Ford's line of cars.

No, i'm not sitting here speculating anything. I never said Honda was the car God would drive, we already know that is a Saleen S7. ;)

Apparently we were debating each other with two completely different arguements.

Being that we are on a Ford site I made the assumption he was here to defend Ford. He proved a valid point, but all he proved was that the luxury division of the domestic side has fewer problems than Honda as a whole, Honda including people with Si's, GSRs, and the upper models like the prelude and Accord... which teenagers get a hold of and beat the living **** out of.

That, to me at least, is kind of a given seeing as the people who drive Infiniti's, Cadillacs, etc aren't the same people who drive the sport compacts of Honda and the pony cars of Ford and Chevrolet.

He's comparing apples to oranges, which is my only problem with this topic.

But, the simple belief as it still is that imports are the better car just isn't the story anymore. ;) I should have made it more clear that I wasn't trying say Ford's line of cars are better than Honda's. But, this is why I said domestic.

Guys who cares about HP per liter? Only people without much HP thats who. Yeah so what if you can get 180 hp from 1.8L, its still only 180 hp. On a bike that is great power for a 4 cyl. So then if my car can make 100hp per liter will that shut them up? Its only a 7.5L do the math...

I also wonder why all of our domestics have to be rusty, care to guess how many rusted imports I have been forced to work on? Metal rusts, fact of life. Join a forum just to say one stupid thing to a bunch of Stang guys who couldnt care less about how fast a prelude really is. Moronic is the word that comes to mind.

Si, you sure defend Honda alot bro. It almost like you are gettin paid to do it :) I dont like them because I had to work on them. I have large hands and Honda has tight spaces. Crappy engineering IMO, GM and Ford have some of the same, but Honda puts stupid ideas into everything they build.Ever heard of pullin an axleshaft, strut/ spindle, and tilting an engine to change a bad alternator? When a simple alternator change pays 5-6 hours that doesnt show superior engineering. For Fords, Heater Core on a late 90's Lincoln, gotta pull the dash and disconnect the AC to do something it only take 30 minutes to do in most GM cars. #8 sparkplug on an LS1, you need to be a skinny kid with tiny hands to get that thing out. I can get one fingertip on it. Honda is touchy when it comes to alot of things. Ever rebuild a Honda trans? OMG shoot me before I ever think about doin another one, ok?

Hyundai is a POS right? Well they are easy as sin to work on. Timing belt on a Honda, takes all day and requires special tools. Timing belt on a Hyundai takes all of 3 wrench sizes and a bit over one hour. My dislike for Honda doesnt stem from kids puttin fart cans on, it comes from having to fix the stupid things. I like to work on the Mod motors, there is actually a bit of room around in there, its under stuff but you can get to things.

Racing a Honda is like a foot race with a 5th grader. Why bother cuz its not a great achievement when you win. If the 5th grader/Honda driver is sayin how fast he is, and saying he can whup your azz, then most of us seem to get stupid and put them in thier place. I have done it, we pretty much all have.

So im comming back and taking off from a red light slowly see headlights zipping in and out of people. He catches up to me and i laugh, i head his VTECH kick in and i pull hard in second, and catch up to him. And then i get behind him and he pulls a u-turn, so of course i follow. He then goes into a local resturant and pulls over and i come up to his window and he opens his door and comes over to my window. he says, not bad for 1,000 is it. I laugh and his buddy says. lol. Arent you the guy we jst smoked back there?" so be being prud of my v-8 i said. You wannarace that piece of ****? he says "yeah, anytime". So i said, how about now. Then he says by the way i just ran it a NEDW and i got a 13.5. I beat mustangs all day long. So i sid, lets go then. Then to top it off h says, you know its got a b-16 or o something. lol. and i have engine management, and a cold air kit with exhaust. lol. I was still happy for this race. S we pullout and there is a red light but one person is in the other lane. So i sit net to his car and hold up traffic and he said. ON 3. So i let him count and of course he takes off before me and i pull a car on him to 70 mph. we come bak together and he complains about traction. i laugh and yell from a 30. He down shifts and i saw go, we take off and i take almost 2 1/2 on him. and then another red light. We stop and go, i got a perfect launch and i killed him. He just shrugs his shoulders after he blows by me. We then went to his house and he shakes my hand and says, you must have a supercharger in this. So i said what i had and his buddy didnt belive me. Then i tell him to coem to NEDW this wednesday and he says ya. Cool kid, but doesnt know about cars. Another ricer killed with my SLO 4.6

so you mustang guys are too good for less restrictive intakes and free flowing exhausts?

a motor is a motor bro, we all benefit from the same power adders


No....but we all know that intake and exhaust isn't going to put us on "#1 stunna in town" list. Where you think it adds 50+hp, we know better.

And actually, my motor would benefit more from an intake/exhaust than your motor, simply because it's bigger. I don't have a Mustang, but I did stay at a Holliday Inn Express last night.

Guys who cares about HP per liter? Only people without much HP thats who. Yeah so what if you can get 180 hp from 1.8L, its still only 180 hp. On a bike that is great power for a 4 cyl. So then if my car can make 100hp per liter will that shut them up? Its only a 7.5L do the math...

I also wonder why all of our domestics have to be rusty, care to guess how many rusted imports I have been forced to work on? Metal rusts, fact of life. Join a forum just to say one stupid thing to a bunch of Stang guys who couldnt care less about how fast a prelude really is. Moronic is the word that comes to mind.

Si, you sure defend Honda alot bro. It almost like you are gettin paid to do it :) I dont like them because I had to work on them. I have large hands and Honda has tight spaces. Crappy engineering IMO, GM and Ford have some of the same, but Honda puts stupid ideas into everything they build.Ever heard of pullin an axleshaft, strut/ spindle, and tilting an engine to change a bad alternator? When a simple alternator change pays 5-6 hours that doesnt show superior engineering. For Fords, Heater Core on a late 90's Lincoln, gotta pull the dash and disconnect the AC to do something it only take 30 minutes to do in most GM cars. #8 sparkplug on an LS1, you need to be a skinny kid with tiny hands to get that thing out. I can get one fingertip on it. Honda is touchy when it comes to alot of things. Ever rebuild a Honda trans? OMG shoot me before I ever think about doin another one, ok?

Hyundai is a POS right? Well they are easy as sin to work on. Timing belt on a Honda, takes all day and requires special tools. Timing belt on a Hyundai takes all of 3 wrench sizes and a bit over one hour. My dislike for Honda doesnt stem from kids puttin fart cans on, it comes from having to fix the stupid things. I like to work on the Mod motors, there is actually a bit of room around in there, its under stuff but you can get to things.

Racing a Honda is like a foot race with a 5th grader. Why bother cuz its not a great achievement when you win. If the 5th grader/Honda driver is sayin how fast he is, and saying he can whup your azz, then most of us seem to get stupid and put them in thier place. I have done it, we pretty much all have. What does it prove? They have something to prove, we dont.


Couldn't have said it better;) Slammedlude, we are referring to the people who put on a intake and a big exhaust tip and act like they are hot sh!t. It's just annoying when ricers like that talk crap just because they did 1 or 2 mods. You're starting with a 4 banger ....you need lots of mods (turbo, etc.) to even come close to keeping up with a V8 mustang. We're not saying they are crappy cars.

Hey OB, this story is for you. Tonight im bored with nothing to do. so i go out in my pony. I'm driving along, and i buzz around on the highway for a while, and then decide to take it in for the night. So im comming back and taking off from a red light slowly see headlights zipping in and out of people. He catches up to me and i laugh, i head his VTECH kick in and i pull hard in second, and catch up to him. And then i get behind him and he pulls a u-turn, so of course i follow. He then goes into a local resturant and pulls over and i come up to his window and he opens his door and comes over to my window. he says, not bad for 1,000 is it. I laugh and his buddy says. lol. Arent you the guy we jst smoked back there?" so be being prud of my v-8 i said. You wannarace that piece of ****? he says "yeah, anytime". So i said, how about now. Then he says by the way i just ran it a NEDW and i got a 13.5. I beat mustangs all day long. So i sid, lets go then. Then to top it off h says, you know its got a b-16 or o something. lol. and i have engine management, and a cold air kit with exhaust. lol. I was still happy for this race. S we pullout and there is a red light but one person is in the other lane. So i sit net to his car and hold up traffic and he said. ON 3. So i let him count and of course he takes off before me and i pull a car on him to 70 mph. we come bak together and he complains about traction. i laugh and yell from a 30. He down shifts and i saw go, we take off and i take almost 2 1/2 on him. and then another red light. We stop and go, i got a perfect launch and i killed him. He just shrugs his shoulders after he blows by me. We then went to his house and he shakes my hand and says, you must have a supercharger in this. So i said what i had and his buddy didnt belive me. Then i tell him to coem to NEDW this wednesday and he says ya. Cool kid, but doesnt know about cars. Another ricer killed with my SLO 4.6


ORIGINAL: Casper98GT

200si i posted this because i knew you would have somethig stupid to say. He was the one telling me i would get shut down and telling me he beats up on Mustangs all day long at the track. I knew I would kill him so it wasnt very special in my eyes either. I do however enjoy racing Civic SI's............. In my buddys Focus SVT> LOL.


That may have been partially the reason but the first thing he says...

Wow. I just sat back and read this whole thing. I did post this to cause a big fight. lol. j/k. I dont usually race people, but when someone flaunts what they have at me and direct it at me then im going to do what every normal person would do around here. Race them. Most of the people in my town get along and the "ricers" and import people know what they have and most keep their distance from the domestic guys. There are 2 car clubs around here that consist of IMPORTS, and or other 4 cylinders. I hang with them and work on their cars. The only time one of them asked me to race was a N.O.S equipped cavalier. Yeah i know i typed NOS because it had the brand name NOS. They are cool kids. So when i raced this Civic, i had never seen him before, so i went after him to chat for bit. Then he says he went to NEDW and beat up on Mustangs all day i wanted to see if he had anything. After i wasted him 3 times, i talked to him for a bit. Now he knows im faster its ok. And who ever said i knew i would win because of my big bad V8. Well, im only pushing 207 hp! Thats right, some imports have more than me!. And my big bad 14.5 in the quarter. Yeah I have been killed at NEDW bya 4 cyl. before. I dont care. He was the one boasting a 13.5. I knew what i ran, and i wanted to see if he was likethe usual ricer and talking ****. As for 2000SI, sorry if you took it to heart, but i knew when i posted this, you were one of the people that would post back for sure. lol. And then a couple ricers, saying that im now the great amerian hero because i beat an import. It was fun, neither of us got into a fight. ( I've seen it happen) and we both went home happy. Oh yeah and he did have a big fart can and a cold air intake that looks like he has an intercooler. I didnt think they made them, but i was wrong when thinking they didnt make fake blow-off valves.

hokay :)

now we're all on the same page- I def. agree about the kids who believe putting an intake and exhaust on their car thinks they have a ferrari- They piss me off just as much as they piss you guys off, because although you guys have a completely different car, I am unfortunately and unfairly grouped with those fags when it comes to honda crowd generalizations

i just want you guys to realize that even though I'm starting with a smaller motor, i'm starting with a drastically lighter car- MY civic has a stock motor found in acura integras and has thus far managed a best 1/4 pass of 13.8 @99 mph

i'm 5 grand into a car that is already running 13's, and while i'm not doing it with the massive brute force that you guys are, i'm still pulling similar times to a fair amount of mustang owners- And believe me, I def. understand that starting with a four banger is somewhat of a handicap, and that i will almost never keep up with a mustang all motor- But a good turbo setup on my motor will move me down into the 12's for about 15k, which i still feel like less than most of you have spent on yours cars and that is why honda appeals to me

and please don't think that just because i like hondas means i don't think any other car on the road is even worth the rubber it rides on- everyone of us is interested in the same thing- and that's going fast- whether you do it in a honda, a mustang, a corvette, or your mom's minivan- if it's fast it's cool with me

just didn't want to get off on too much of the wrong foot here :)

Once again 2000Si has to stand up for a weak honda that was out looking for an asswhoopin! The guy even said "arent you the one we just beat"! That in itself deserves an asswhoopin! They drive their fart cans around like they are the sh!t then you blame us for beating up on them. Makes no sense to me.

Yes... if there were two cars left in the world, that being a honda and the other being a Mustang, then the Stang would be the end of all cars!

speaking of ricers with fart cans.. don't you love how when you blow them away right off and then just shut down cause it isn't much of a race, that they just continue to floor it to zoom past you? i guess it makes them feel as though they've actually won or accomplished something. i prefer not to really race anyone the way it is (not until i get a few decent mods at least), especially ricers. a lot of the time i'm just driving and getting up to the speed limit decently quick and then i look over a few seconds later (after they've finally caught up) and see/hear a bumble bee ricer smiling & laughing as they pass me.

anyone living in NOVA can vouch for me there. this place is filled with asian cuisine with coffee cans.

Maybe I do get a little defensive, but in this instance I was in no way defending the little homo in his hatch. All I ever did was make fun of the guy with a 98 GT flipping uturns to catch a race with a car. You act like the civics are the only people who do stupid **** to catch a race, well flipping a uturn is pretty stupid in and of itself.

You know the other day i was talking with a friend and he thinks Hondas are the best thing since fried rice and says they last longer then Domestic cars. Well way i see it is Back in the early 90s and 80s Honda guys wasnt trying to race. Now since that Fast N Furious came out. Since that movie you see Hondas trying to race everywhere. Back in th 90s and 80s a Honda would last longer cause most people bought them to have a nice ride with good gas mileage , NOT to DRAG race with. So being that kids and adults drive them like Nascars they gonna break. But when i look on the streets i dont see many early model hondas anymore there are a few but i see tons of old fords and chevys everywhere. See when you purchase a mustang or LS1 you know its gonna take a pounding and if it makes it to 200,000 miles before overhaul you a lucky man.Example when some of you bought a used mustang 5.0 , you knew it was raced and abused before laying ur eyes on it..RIGHT? Yea!! So what im getting at is back when everyone drove around 90 -110 hp Hondas you aint gonna break much except maybe wipers. And another point is price a Honda compared to a Ford Focus or any car in its class. One last thing America hasnt been up on 4 cyl cars very long!! Just like Hondas hasnt been making V-6s very long.When i say very long im saying in last 15 or 20 years. Im a old guy so thats not long to me.Trust me im not kncking on Hondas just saying when they start producing alot more HP and TQ the reliability is gonna go way way way down. :D Also my 95 chevy astro van is almost at 166,000 miles never had motor changed or nothing, only had to fix normal stuff hoses, tires. My point being here is i drive my van 80 mph on highways but i dont drag race in it so its gonna last. Just my 2 cents! [8D]

The other thing, When the ricer does a drive by and cuts a u-turn, i decided to go after him and see what he had in his car. He then proceeds to ask me if i was the Mutang he just whopped. And then tells me he kills Mustangs all day long at the track. So i thought it mightbe fun to race. I was wondering how i would match up with a 13.5 second Civic. Thats all.

As whats his name showed us a little while ago, Domestic cars do have their good brands. However, those aren't beat up on like sports cars, IE why they last.

Now since that Fast N Furious came out. Since that movie you see Hondas trying to race everywhere. Back in th 90s and 80s a Honda would last longer cause most people bought them to have a nice ride with good gas mileage , NOT to DRAG race with. So being that kids and adults drive them like Nascars they gonna break.
I've literally beat the **** out of my Si, and I haven't had one single problem with it, oh and it hasn't had a tune up since before I bought it. (almost 38k to 54k miles now)
People have been swapping and racing Hondas since well before FnF came out. STOP saying this... it's annoying.

And another point is price a Honda compared to a Ford Focus or any car in its class.
Class for class, they're pretty close. the Si was about 18,9xx new.. the Focus SVT is about 19,3xx new.

Trust me im not kncking on Hondas just saying when they start producing alot more HP and TQ the reliability is gonna go way way way down. :D
Just let me say, I in no way took offense to anything you said...I just had a few things to say. Thats the one thing about the Si motor, it has a 1.74 A/R. This motor could make 300 hp and do it for 100k miles PLUS... beat to death and still run. Engineering goes a long way.

For the same $5k you spent I had a street legal car that would run down the high way no problem running 11's. For way less than the $15k you are talking about I will have a 9 sec street car that runs on pump gas. It will get 9 sec car mileage, but its not my daily driver. So far I have about $7k wrapped up in the new engine. Everything is new except the block and I have planned on it lasting thru alot of bracket racing and street abuse. Yes its an old car, only paid $200 for the body back in 1991.

My daily driver gets 18mpg, has a 7.5L engine, auto trans, weighs 4200lbs with me in it, had 2.93 gears a stock converter and ran easy 13.5's @ 100-105 all day long. I drove it cross country more than once and grand total including buying it for $1000 is $5500. Its a daily driver so I left most of the weight in it. It has only stranded me once about two years ago when the ignition module went out. Plus as it gets older and I put more effort into it, it increases in value, due to it being a 70 GTO.

I can see your point that its cheap for you because you need something dependable that came with an engine. When I buy a car, I dont even care if it runs. You dont have to be like me. You dont have to be an ASE certified Master Tech to have a car, nor to have a fast one.

What you have done with yours is admirable, you would surprise quite a few people with it. My point is, if you spent the money on another car, got educated about all the intimate workings of a car, you can go fast cheap. If you get the right car it will only get more valuable. In 5 or ten yers what happens to the value of your lude? In 20 years what will it be worth?

Bottom line is if you want to have a car, and you want to make it fast, you can work with what you have right now or you can wait till you find something that has the potential to run already. More potential means faster for less money. Newer cars = more $$. Its very simple.

Reliablity is another thing. Si I doubt it could make 300hp for 100k miles. Just from a mechanical engineering stand point. I dont really want to get into ti withya bro, just tellin ya my opinion. Do and we can find out, ok?

Lude due you are okay as long as you dont have the tude. Im not a typical Ford guy, even though I do have them..lol Sorry about the book.

Mysterious ... i had a 85 prelude that was paid for just laying in my driveway. the body was in mint condition and the engine had over 200,000 miles on it. this is before i got into cars. i didn't drive it that much so i sold the car. now i wish i had keep it ... because it would have been alot better to mod that car since it was paid for than to mod my current civic and be making payments on it at the same time. i could have made it a "fun" daily driver for cheap. i agree with you, its definately better to mod an older car because it cheaper. that means more money into performance. if i had kept the lude i would have made it a 12 sec car. nothing too fast, but in a car that size it would have been a fun ride. not to mention it would of been a good sleeper.

If you're going to generalize a statement like that I'd suggest doing a bit of research before hand... I KNOW that there are NA 13 second Preludes. Hell there's 14 second stock Accords out there, and Preludes have motors that are just as powerful and just as easy to modify, if not easier.

Well, the H22 is better power wise, but it's also heavier & it's not a direct bolt in into a Civic. I should have said the B18c5 ITR motor is the king of the US market B series motors.

iwrxit
09-02-2004, 03:39 PM
the h22 is around 40-60 lbs heavier than a b16 swap and not much more than a b18. the difference is suspension geometry and power delivery. the heavy understeer will come from an earlier powerband in the lightweight honda chassis. the kid i sold my civic to has an h22 in there and can run a low 8 in the 1/8th. the b18 is the king of honda motors due to the parts interchangability with the b16 and the swell in displacement. b18c5 or b16b for me.

Since I havent been on here to watch the thread I am gonn back up a tad.

FI to run 12's? Must suck. How does a TT 482ci non intercooled off the shelf aftermarket engine making 2880 hp and 2100ftlbs sound? Yeah it does run 44psi and a max of 52psi. Max RPM is 8200 and the dyno couldnt hold it down so the readings might be a bit under what its actually making. That is a conservative tune sa well.

I could duplicate it for under $20k really easy. I just dont have a car I can put that kinda power in. It really needs a tube frame.

Want a link? I can provide. ps is not a Chevy either...

who cares about big TTs this and that? Hello understeer!! Not Everyone is into cars just for the straightaway. I'd rather like my car to be able to carve corners on the back road without ending up in a ditch for oversteering from having a 3000 lb engine under my hood.

For the cost of a 482 TT motor I could have one hell of a street terror in a B18 and still be able to out corner you.

3000 hp isnt really a corner car now is it? Once again the I can come up with something better than that takes over. lol. It weighs about the same as my completely iron engine fully dressed.

If you want to do some raod course work, well I can hook that up too, you wont gain enough in the corners to make up for the straights because I can build a car to turn just as well as go fast in a straight line. I cant really rag on ya too much about not having done it yet Si, cuz you are still young and I am almost twice your age. I have had more time to do things. Go ahead and build your Honda and I will pull out an old beat up TA throw about $4k at it, and you will be wonderin why you cant catch up to it.

Still I havent seen many all mighty Supra engines puttin down that kinda power, oh wait thats right they arent 8L are they? hhhmmmm....

supra do have very strong internals from the factory. but isn't that the way it should be for a factory f/i car? does the cobra have stronger internals than the gt? just wondering since it comes with the charger. and mysterious i understand what your saying, a larger displacement engine should always have more potential than a smaller engine.

and iwrxit you hear about the 9 sec street driven supra in phoenix?

I don't care about catching up to a gas hog. While you're sitting at the gas pump filling your 20 gallon tank up with that crisp 100 dollar bill I'll still be going down the highway on my merry way making 30 mpg easy at 100 mph.

Si ya think that would be the only car I have? Who would daily drive a 2khp car? Especially one on methanol? Dont let the I cant compete with it ricer feeling out. Its okay if you dont have a car that makes that much power, I just like that it was done with something other than a Chevy or Ford. No it wasnt an import either...lol.


Your car doesnt have to be better at anything. I dont even own that engine and I cant afford it yet either. But its nice to know I could do it and dream about it. Untill then keep your car payment and your timed witha calandar ets and i will eat a bit more gas and run faster and also spend less per month on my car. :)

Here comes emptyevergreen with more inane posts on a topic that should just die off because it's a never ending dead heat. Seriously, you have nothing to contribute to this conversation.

However, I don't see how bringing up gas mileage and handling is irrelevent seeing as thats what sport compacts are built for. I never said my car was the fastest, or the best. I just said that it can compete with anything. The fun thing here is, your mega hp car isn't your "daily driver" is it even street legal Mys?

its irrelevant becuase the argument was over performance not pros and cons of the different types of vehicles
