It is fairly unrealistic.

I would get a b18b with a LSD cable b16 transmission. Then get a DSM turbo, try to stay as cheap as possible. THe b18b is a good engine to boost. With slicks, its possible to hit 12s to 11s if you get very lucky.

You wanna run high 10's with a honda, and don't even know what engines fit in the chassis?

Good luck.

That's my setup right there (H2B) i'm lookin at a $5000 pricetag minus $1500 of parts i can sell from my current setup. That's $3500 right? lol.
Late 11's i'll be extatic, probably 12's all day. Still amazing in my opinion, will be so much fun to drive around town with. Screw drag LOL I just want to compete with Ryans K20.

That truck is ******* gansta!!!

the std you have is the lightest hatch so thats a lil help also the best stds just rule!

if your going just 1/4 H22 + work you'll need slicks and LSD no matter what if you want 11s or 10s and it'll be a lot of money and work.

If money is no option then go k20a or a k24 with a type R head. If your a good driver then youll be in the high 11's with a stock motor, and since money is not a problem for you then your k series doesnt have to stay stock.

LSVTEC built with a 100+ shot of N2O will get you into the 11's....but then there is always the traction issue.

you can get the k20a for about 5k then like 3k for parts so if u have 9k to spend you can defenatly afford to get a k20 in there.
