you've never heard of a turbo? and i bet a rebuilt bottom end with forged goods on a honda motor costs like $82. if you know how to build a 4 banger, it will be brutally fast. ever seen an inline four motor running 45 pounds of boost on straight methanol making more horsepower than all of the cars in your driveway combined and doubled? okay then.

to all small engine haters: you're weak. grow up.

I know a guy getting his LS 1.8 built out here by a big Honda shop and its costing him $1100 for the bottom end and $1900 for the top to get him to a whopping 200hp. Then $5500 to get it turbo'd by them. So no not $82.

Anyone can make a tin can fast, so what. That's all these built hatches are.

And yes I know a guy who had an over 800whp Honda, it ran a best of low 10's, the owner ran a best of low 13's in it.

To me I don't see how you can argue that a 4 banger can be just as fast as a V8. When's the last time you saw a 4 run a 3 second quarter? I'm pretty sure there are none.

If a honda had 800 WHEEL HP...and was only running 10's...then both of the driver's failed...there are PLENTY of Handa's out there with a significant amount of HP less than 800 running 8's and 9's...easily.
