So are you trying to impress us by saying you're 16 and own a hybrid? Not going to work. Unless you bought the car bone stock with your own money and did the swap yourself as well as paid for the swap yourself. Otherwise no one cares.

The "madness" started in my 20's, but I hit the big 3-0 a couple of months ago.

All my own wrenching, learning as I go!!

This is completely unlike me to do this, but i was just perusing your sig when I came across the arospeed front mount intake mixed in with all those other good mods. WTF? Oh, and 297WHP minus the 100 shot (not counting losses to the wheels) equals 197 WHP from a b18 with cams, skunk2 IM, header n' crap. DAMN, thats good. Is it true? What compression and what profile of cam are you running. Not flaming yet, just thinking about my straight B20 buildup with similar mods looking for around ~180whp.

Dewd, Im honestly calling bullshit on yer 12.37@107

To run that time on a slick, youd hafta be at 111-112 Trap Speed.

Also, theres no way that bullshit setup is making 297whp, even on the bottle.

i am almost 19 now.....i had my first hybrid when i was 15 it was a 81 vw rabbit with a 84 gti engine and tranny neuspeed full suspension, neuspeed cam, cam gear, euro downpipe, every neuspeed sway and strut bar, some gti recaros, techtonics exhaust, and some other stuff......then sold that and bought my crx when i was 16 i bought my crx....after a while got sick of si motor...dropped in a ZC had a good friend do it....didnt have the time to do it.....then drove on that for about a year then swapped in b16 myself did the swap over night the wiring and little tweaks the next day like linkage and stuff........got sick of b16!! swapped in a 97 LS motor....after doing some other swaps for friends and stuff i had the LS swap from jacking the car up to taking it off the jacks with the ls in about 5 hours including breaks.....then i put the turbo on the beast......now i want more!!! never enough!! next will probably be a jdm b18c5.......and all this is out of my pocket!! no help from parents or anyone.


and the 297 hp at the wheels seems pretty high!! i bet you didnt dyno you just thought the motor has 138 or so plus 15 from intake 20 from intake mani. 18 from cams and so on to make that number.

Kids... I wanna see a dyno chart and a Timeslip...

I'm 22, turning 23 next month... And yes, daddy has never paid for anything... I've been on my own since 18, the way it should be... Tired of seeing little brats getting whatever they want just cause they whine for it...

40 here, but a long time gearhead. Built mine as a buget hotrod/work car. And I will bet it doesn't have 197 at the crank much less 297 at the wheels without the nitrous.

I'm working on my 4th hybrid (After awning 2 Civic SI hatchbacks a brand new ITR for a couple of years, another hybrid SI that was stolen, and my current project car which is broken.

Every car I've bought has been on my own with me paying the note and insurance and the money for my mods. Never had any monetary help from Mom n Dad Raceshop fund.

I'm 24 (Turning 25 in September). I'll always own a Honda although I'm ready to step up to some big boy power (Supra, 13B, SR20DET, 3S-GTE, 4G63 can't quite decide).

ANd 297 to the wheels is BS. With tuning maybe 220. Of course if there is a dyno sheet provided I will admit I'm wrong. I just don't see 297 in that set-up (And your miles per hour are kinda low).

18, 19 in August. Still working on my ongoing EG hybrid. I've been so close to selling it on a few occassions. I just don't know if I can do it. My car is just about my only love. Hybriding has consumed me.

I am 25 and I have been through quite a few cars, all with me paying the dime. started off with a built 72' VW Beetle street car, then to a 89' RX7 Turbo, then to a 62' VW Beetle streeter, then a 97' Mitsu GS-T, now a 92 DX Hatch w/B16A.........ahh, now the real fun begins!

Let's get this straight noobie. No one here's is jealous of your car. If we were we'd be in the EF forum. Maybe your jelaous of EG owners because you over here.

In any event, in my experience for the setup you have listed it doesn't seem likely that you are getting 297 with spray. If you said it was a turbo I'd believe it but on spray is hard to follow. If you have no access to a digi camera or a scanner then I guess we'll have to take your word for it (Which none of us will anyway).

So you can take the ridicule and disbelief we have about your car and like it, or you can find a way to post proof on here to prove us wrong. Your choice n00b

That does seem high. I know guys with more stuff into B20/vtec's than this guy
has in is LS. And the B20's are making 190-210 to the wheels and running high 12's low 13's all motor. Plus, I thought ZEX rated their N20 kits at the flywheel, not at the wheels?

Anyways, I'm 22 (2-17-80).
