Thread: a lesson about civics.

More than you can afford pal, Ferrari.

I have a buddy that has a 600whp 92 prelude. When he takes me out I cry tears of joy and **** my pants at the same time. He also has a 2006 GTO and a 1992 Pontiac sunbird with a built motor that will one day have its turbo installed. Its the weight to power ratio that makes that car a rocket.

And how much money is wrapped up in it?

Almost 8k I think. Next time I am over his house ill take a few pictures. He's got a few videos on YouTube where he is running 9-10 pounds which is where it normally is. When he runs it, its around 22psi when I get near a computer I'll post them.

Sounds like a good Hunduh, I am looking forward to the vids.

Hotrod mag did a budget build 5.3 that engine dyno'd 594hp for $3252 including the cost of the motor.

594HP 5.3L Gen III Small Block for $3,252 - Hot Rod Magazine

Faster, Cheaper and Probably more reliable (no offense, Iron block 5.3s are hard to break with boost).

Not to mention rear wheel drive doesn't have the traction issues FWD does, because of weight transfer.

I'm not a hater, if a Honda is done right, like it sounds like your friends is, I will like it, but there are less expensive ways to make the same amount of power. In the end it's about budget if you want a solid build no matter what you're building.

Honestly it is cheaper to mod an "american" car now-a-days. I see this as the demand for aftermarket import parts being higher giving them the ability to jack the prices up. For example headers for a 3.8 in 2004 $600+ I got my headers for $250 shipped, might not be the best example. I LOVE LS engines. I plan on sticking the LS1 or LS2 in my El Camino when I dig it out of my grand pops garage that provided link makes me want to speed up the process

And still at the end of the day his honda is a toy, its not a ***** magnet its just a go really fast, really fast car he knows it. His biggest fear with owning that car is it getting stolen as that seems to be an issue around here.
his GTO and Sunbird are the babies

and for your amusement

Haha call what you want. All I know is that it has a fully built H22, and a Built trans, Massive IC. Hes only gone full 22psi 2 or three times. So much money invested in it he is afraid of blowing it up. But around 6-10 where it normally is he will beat on it. I dont get it. It's parked atm he bent a wheel, lower control arm, and traction bar running into a curb. Yay understeer! His GTO and my GP

Yeah, that's slower than a bucket of turds.

I'm sure it would move out on nearly four times that boost level.

My Thrasher/3.0" car pulled harder and faster up top then that little wind up toy.

LOL @ 22PSI.

The Hotrod mag 5.3 made 594 on 12psi.

That thing was just pure awesome. I sent that link to a few LS buddies of mine.

HAHAH I said that to him and he got so pissed off. He was litterately red with anger, I was in the car I told him to slow the **** down and he didn't listen, He had just got done with a fight with his girlfriend at the time so I believe he was rage driving.

Lol. Classic.

Lets not forget that intake pressure is directly proportional to the ability of the engine to flow.

Think about camshaft lobe separation, head design, valves, exhaust etc.

These all affect intake pressure on any forced induction motor.

There are plenty of TC'ed 4 bangers making big HP with low intake pressure...same for bigger engines.

So what you're saying is that Hondas are built for economy and not power? Who woulda thought...
