and how is a 500whp motor not gonna need a cage when u ran 11.3's on slicks? with less than 500

 

you only NEED a cage, if youre running at the tracks. if youre driving it on the street, then you dont NEED a cage. and i believe the cage is only needed for 10.99 or lower.

yes but i will be taking this to the track from time to time...and if its 10.99 then i ok with more power but i really dont want to cage the car lol thanks

nevermind. youll see how little 300whp is after youve had it for 2 monthes tops. youll be begging to turn up the boost.

yea ur prolly right but i aint gonna turn up the boost and get it to where i need a cage to run it at a track. is my only point

 

nevermind. you dont understand

 

here ya go:

sorry if i am a pain in the *** but i just dont want to cage my car and if it takes a cage to run at the track if i am under 10.99 then i aint gonna push that much out of my car...plus that takes a crap load of money which i will be lucky to finish my motor for 350.

 

ok what im saying is, if you have 300whp- then after about 2 monthes, your car is going to seem slow regardless of what track times youre pulling. you get used to that much power kinda quickly unless you have it in like a fully gutted crx.
if you have a daily driven car, you are going to want more. and you might not even have to put a cage in your car. i doubt that you will run sub 10.99 with under 400whp. and also, you can get a removable cage that goes together in pieces and comes apart when you wanna take it out.
so what are you gonna do if your track requires a cage for 11.99 and lower passes?

 

i know i wont run until 10.99 with under 400 i am saying if i push to 700 hp i dont want to cage it iwant the max power without a cage fro track use. if the track says 11.99 and under needs a cage then i guess i wont have a cage in my car and wont run. its stupid on my part yes but i dont want to put removable cages in my car if i was gonna do it i would just put a real welded in cage in. but i just dont want that. i understand what your saying and i will want more but for now NO. i just want this build done

 

Holy ****, look at all these ramhorn and topmount setups. I'm still rockin' a DRAG manifold like it was 1997.

The manifold is drag, so is the downpipe.... the rest is "homebrew":

 

thats nice what kinda numbers u running?

 

Don't know chief, I've never dyno'd it.

Just my daily pos/beater.

 

hey thats cool i hope mine can become a DD but not the POS part....clean tho

all he means is boost is ******* addictive man...its worse then crack! lolz

once you get it tuned to approx. 300whp then you WILL want more soon enough! and thats a PROMISE brotha. once you hit 300 then youll want 400...then 500. and so on! i went from a ls/turbo making MAYBE 250whp to a stock boosted gsr making 395whp. then threw some rods/pistons in the same engine and made maybe 500whp. NOW im wanting 800+whp quest.

boost is so ******* ridiculous its funny man! youll see.

 

yea i know and maybe one i will look for 800whp out of my car but i really dont see it right now i'm hard enough on money tryin to get my build going and finished. but does anyone know how good of a chose it may be to build a ls/vtec with gsr crank instead of my b16a?

 

bump

 

Technically it wouldn't be an LS/VTEC then...but you could always find an LS crank for cheap.

 

my old homemade setup's &lt; $1000

b20b_gsr tranny


d16y8_si tranny

ohhhhhhhhhh lol. cool

 

It would be more like a "frankenstein poor man's type r"

 

but would there be any pros to this poor mans type r over a b16 build?

more displacement, more torque and more power.

 

thats awesome i may go that route then. thanks
