Or any civic with that kinda power? defeats the purpose of the car IMO

200 whp in any Ef chassis would be tons of fun and not cause you to spin thur 3rd


what do you boys think on this matter?

What do you mean defeats the purpose of the car? I think once you've done any kind of mod to a Civic/CRX it defeats the purpose of that car.

Before I wanted an NA built B18C CRX so I would be competative with other swapped cars or other lightly modded cars. Pretty soon with my turbo'd B18C CRX I'll be competing with WRX's, S2K's, EVO's, STI's, RX-7's, Supras, Vettes, and Camaros.

200 WHP in an EF is only good for about mid 13's. 300 WHP in that same EF is good for around mid 12's. 400 WHP is good for mid to high 11's, and you get the point. Light weight car plus high HP = fast car that will make you shat your pants.

 

What? So I can run rings around your EVOVIII!!

 

Why, so I can save 20,000 on a fast car (And because the look on people's faces when they realize that my sedan has that much power, priceless)

 

I read about a fully worked Civic Hatch with a K20A, it was 455 HP and had EVERYTHING. They said the car had so much power that it couldn't even keep traction, and that it was a waste of time for any practical purpose (Racing, Driving, etc...).

 

I'd do it just because. I enjoy power regardless of the chassis being affected. It keeps me out of trouble.

 

I think it gets pretty impractical after 200 unless you seriously address traction issues.

I'd be thrilled with 120hp and 40mpg.

 

why don't we just start a new trend and see who can acheive the least amount of hp?

 

g2teg thats exactly what I mean I love my little car and with the b18 going in it will be perfect

Btw i dont drag race and dont care about running 11s

IMO the car was meant to have enough power to make it fun which around 200hp is perfect still reliable and pretty damn quick for the streets


Btw Evo is stock and a real fun drive

 

For example this https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1265550

I mean really wtf instead of having all these pipe dreams he should try and make a fun car to drive which could be done a hell of alot easier that what he is dreaming up

ANd yes i have been in a high powered turbo honda 300+ and its funny watching the search for traction

 

I have a 350 hp ef...and with drag radials I have serious traction issues....and I like it...doesnt defeat the purpose of the car...

 

If somone wants 300+ hp in a ef or any honda let them be. You are happy with 200 and thats good too. Some people like myself always want more There are ways to help traction If i ever build a honda with 300+ hp it probally wont see much street use anyhow.

 

yeah there is a thing as too much power, your car not able to get good traction. im gunning for 250, that'l make me happy

 

na im not hating at all more power to you

Just see alot of this locally and i found it strange most end up selling them cause they dont turn out to be what they wanted.

 

Why not !!!?? Fun as hell

I want to play with the evo. Off the line. Won't even spray till 3rd. Nah, won't spray at all.

Ever seen the video with the little awd and the Lingenfelter Vette?
"We're gonna rip you out of the whole" HAHAHA

 

Imo my 250 horses aint ****. Looking for 300+ soon. 200 isnt enough these days but i race so i guess thats different. I love whooping on evos, talons, sti's, especiall y those camaros

I love the EVO, don't get me wrong. That's one of the cars have to own, but it's expected to be a fast car. The Honda isn't so that makes it even better. It's like watching the "Best Motoring " videos, the Skyline, STi's and Evo's out run the high-priced Ferrari Modena and F355 on a road course.

 

Too me the beauty of fixing up a honda.....is like taking a hobo and giving him life he could have only stumbled upon in a dream. it's like all the big domestic guys shout...LITERS...HP.....and they laugh at us with less then 2.2L. I say the only way we have to shut them up is to take a fat honda/acura **** on their car. Give us a Stock 5.0L and i'll show him what's worth. Give us a 5.6L Pontiac and we'll give hima run for his money....Even a 6.6L Transam with all sorts of gadgets.....We as honda owners know no limits....Everyone in the automotive world has to bow down to the honda at least repect it b/c they know we are the fore-runners in modifications and fine-tunning. So why did i do it...to make people laugh and then cry....the best is taking down a Mustang that's all tricked out.....expecially when his buddies....or a gf/wife is in the car. B/c they feel like ***.....they brought it down upon themselves. Why go 300whp.....b/c we can goddamnit....and i don't know anyone but a Honda/acura lover who would go to such lengths to create such awesome beasts.....except maybe a chevy 350 in an old MG or Triumph.....but they are british wind up cars. Anyway i'm done.....Point is: "Why 300whp?!" "b/c we can and we are good at it"

 

i love my 140hp civic,and thats all that matters.
however i did ride in a 417hp b20 turbo civic pushing 22lbs of boosts and that thing was freeking insane fast. 4th gear wheel spin @ 90mph.

 

I feel the exact same way. **** it, even a 160whp SOHC is plenty 'nuff for our light EF chassis IMO.

 

I dont feel like i need to prove my cars worth to anyone else so i guess thats why I see things this way. How ever i do enjoy being able to cut up a twisty road better that most other cars

 

233whp in a crx got boring real quick


going for 350whp

then im done. for now.
