Is it possible to build an N/A car, with free labour and wholesale prices on parts, that will hit 11's for $10,000? We'd be using an EF chassis. Suggestions?

 

would you have to buy the chassis? i think it might be able to be done with a good motor builder and money spent very very wisely

 

At most we'd pay $300 for the shell, all body work done free, but we could score a shell off our sponsor (rally) perhaps.

 

it could be done.

 

What would you guys suggest for a starting point?

 

check out the classified section. there is a guy on here selling a sick deckplate engine. already built.

 

lighten the hell outa the chassis. h23 non-vtec, headers, big cams, light valvetrain, hi comp pistons, headwork, tuning. 11's easy.

why not h22?

 

We've thrown the H22 around, but what about CR-VTEC? I'm looking for some assemblance of "reliability". I'd rather have issues not associated with Frankensteining. But the thought is tempting.

 

for 10k i think it can be done easily

i think there was someone else that did it before on here with a deckplate motor is a dc2

he made it to the 11's

 

gordon mack did it without a deckplate.. ls-vtec 86 x89

 

i cant rember the name but he posted everything on h-t and he did it in a quick time

it was a white LS integra

and do you have that link to that deckplate block in the classifeids?

 

Our first car ran 11.50s n/a for about $8000, so it can be done and that was with a 2.0L B series!!

 

it can be done no problem. my friend spent about 8 grand on his complete motor and ran 12.60's all day in his 95 gsr with no seats and running open headers. a hatch is light by 400lbs so it should be done without a problem

 

If I had that money to spend, I'd buy the portflow crx. But i guess building u'r own would be more fun.

 

We've got something in the works, so this would be a showcase of sorts...
Keep the input coming guys.

 

here is my input.... the link for the sick deckplate engine.

very simple setup got us the time below, 2.0 high comp.(13.7:1) stock head, crower cams and some gearing, also stock re-programed ecu w/ v-afc

 

That motor is dope, but I think i may go H22 after thinking about it. Tough to argue with displacement, and compression shouldn't be a problem. Keep the suggestions coming.

 

I reckon a bolt on H22 in a light (1500lb) car would run 11's and you should be able to do it for 5000 if you can do it yourself.....or a carbied F22

 

If you put a H22a in a light shell It will understeer like hell so will only be useable for the strip.

 

Go the H22a route

This would be a drag only project. No one in B.C. has a super fast all motor car designed as a straight drag car.


I really just want wheelie bars.

 

I believe it can be done for about 6k. Thats not going with a stock head though, thats the full port job and all but a known place. Thats the good ****.

I wish you luck man. It can be done cheaper than 10k for sure though. Almost 5k if you spend right

 

yea i tried to do this once ( Spend $10k on a race car). And i am still spending three years later and i am still not done $55k and counting. **** luck!
