Re: Cheapest way to a faster car. (spork motorsports)
uhh, try http://www.d-series.org and see what they think. my question is... why 15.5? why not 15.1? 14.7? 15.9? 15.3?

if all you want is 15.5 gut it (free), ex/si tranny ($200 at most), 50 shot *plenty safe*($450).
that combo SHOULD get you mid 15s if you are any kind of driver. and you arent trying to launch on some 17" rotas or something.

Re: Cheapest way to a faster car. (What it is)
i know how u feel, especially with all these rich guys tellin u to turbo a b series. I heard a saying on this site it was like "Cheap, fast, safe, but u can only choose two"
and nitrous is gay because u cant use it all the time and have to recharge. but ur best bet is stripping ur entire enterior, getting good tires, and ull be set for about a 15.7

nitrous is gay if you want to race road coarse, if you say you want a car to run mid 15s in the 1/4 mile its not a road coarse car, its a drag car, in which case nitrous would only be used 15.5 sec at a time. therefore, if you went to the track every weekend (if a track was even open every weekend out the year) and made 2 passes you might have to fill up the bottle 4 times a year ($120/year).
yeah, nitrous is gay

Re: (ihatemyhonda!)
milling the head wont do much, if your going to do that, might as well port and polish, bring out the dome a litttle, valves, springs, retainers cam, vitaras, eagle rods, boost 25psi, RDX 410cc injectors, d16y8 intake manifolf, 50 shot of nitrous, strip the interior, and make it a ~11 second car?

DIY only rich kids and poseurs actually buy a kit. Take cheap manifold, add some sort of T3 from a saab, cheap FMIC and then megasquirt the whole contraption with some sort of bigger injectors.

Re: Cheapest way to a faster car. (zackm70)
I know you said you dont want to hear this but im gunna say it anyway. I swapped in a integra LS motor ($500) GSR Tranny ($150) Motor mounts ($200) Axles ($150) and ECU ($60). Im running a 14.9 with my civic coupe. Thats not that expensive at all. $1060 If youre going to put in a new motor, put in a good one, no sense in doing swap after swap. Youll get very tired of the D16 very quickly, trust me. Been there done that! Just an opinion.
