I've read countless posts on turbos big, small & everywhere in between. My point is this; unless your a real track junky & you plan on really turning up the boost with a good set of slicks, It seems a bit much to have more than 300 whp @ the extreem for a street/strip set up. Hey, maybe I'm just missing it somewhere but I drove a GSR with 14 psi turbo set up & it was so easy to white-smoke the tires (G Force TA's) from just the acceleration even in second gear. Plus this car had all the goodies like suspension, motor mounts etc. Input? Thanls.

 

Ok?...

j/k. But there was a post about the practicality of having a high horsepower car for the streets a few days ago. General consensus is, we'll do whatever the **** we want.

 

tell me about it, i would like to know also, i thought about running m/h slicks as normal tires

 

what about racing cars that trap 115+... you need more than 300whp. 300whp is definitly not too much.

 

Its not too much for an integra because its heavy. Im shooting for 375hp and im really not too concerned about the traction because I get plenty now. Ive noticed that when the rear springs compress under acceleration, the front lifts and the tires spin a little. But its nothing some better tires, stiffer rear springs and an LSD couldnt fix.

 

anything over 350whp is useless on the street....

you will not have traction wiht any kind of normal street tire past that


but it's nicfe to have boost controller and just turn it up at the strip

 

I agree. I'm shooting for about the same on pump gas, mid 400's on race gas. I can burn the tires at will(Azenis)in 1st, 2nd. My BFG DR's only spin a little in 1st, or 2nd if it's really cold outside.

Fast FWD cars in general aren't the stoplight killers that a big V8 rear drive old school hot-rod on Mickey's can be. But they are quite enjoyable once moving, kinda like big single Supra's. The rush of hitting boost at higher speeds is

 

well i think alot of guys here with a lot of power do go the track often...****, who wouldnt mind runnin 10s and 11's? i know i wouldn't..

i agree too . .even 350 on the street is retarded. i have a hard time keeping mine straight on the street on accel.

 

well for me.. my set up will be in a del sol. 350 whp MAX on my turbo gsr power plant, air to water intercooler set up .. no flashy intercooler to show off...but.. the whole fun of it will be doing it all DROP TOP! in the summa...
