Hey guys,

While my motor is off getting rebuilt by Laskey Racing, I'm trying to decide if I want another 88-91 CRX to drop it into or if I want to try something new and drop it into a GSR. Some of the reasons I want a GSR is because it will have AC. If it's possible I also want to fit my SC6152 w/ S cover along with an AC compatible EL manifold, and full core aluminum radiator. My other concern is the weight difference which means slower car, but I want to know how much of a difference it will be. I'm looking to push the limits of CA pump gas and that's going to be about 380-400WHP. What kind of 1/4 times would a 400WHP teg with an SC6152S have, both with slicks and without slicks.

Let me know what you guys think
Thanks

a 94-95 GSR weighs 2667lbs dry... add however much you weigh and that will give you a good idea how fast you'll go. The ET will probably be a little slower for your car, but the trap should be accurate.

 

I dont really want to trust any HP calculators. Because according to them a 400HP CRX would be running 9's. I'd rather have real people telling me what they ran at the track. So far I've only found 1 thread where some guy with a 370-380WHP teg with MH slicks did the 1/4 in 12.3 seconds. I wanna be able to do at least low-11's to mid-10's obviously that can be done easier in a EF, but I wanted to try something new.

 

If its just a race car, Def an EF.But if ur going to drive it around tound, Teg's are big pimpin. If ur not willing to dump the Pump gas for Race gas, and ur set on ur 11 sec ET's than ur going to have to do it in an EF.

I drive a 1990 STD hatch, I guess it looks pretty sharp, but to people who donht know Honda's for what they are then obvisouly the Teg is going to look better.

 

I didnt mean to ryme like that on purpose

 

yeah, so anyways...


Last bump before I head out for the night. Just wanting to know if you guys can give me some roughg 1/4 numbers for 400WHP Tegs. Also let me know I can fit an SC6152 (S cover) with an AC compatible EL mani, and a full sized dual core radiator, and 3" DP. No offence to anybody, but I'm not looking for a lecture on which one would be best for what. I already know what a boosted EF can do but I dont know too much about boosted tegs. Just wanted to know if my 1/4 goals are possible or if I can come close with a pump boosted teg, and also if the setup I mentioned is possible.

Thanks

 

88 CRX HF would be the lightest thing you can put it in, but if your making 400+ whp it really won't matter that much. I say go for the comfort and A/C and then crank the boost up.

 

BBKA, good thinking about the HF. The only reason I didn't want an HF is because I'd have to get different front knuckles. But I guess I'll just upgrade my front knuckles and install longer wheel studs from the start.

But for the turbo GSR I'm still looking for AC compatible manifolds that will work with my SC6152S, and a full sized radiator (either dual core or stock rad). I guess I'll open up my manifold options to include log manifolds and not just EL.

11s in a 400whp teg are tooooo easy! Those HP calculators are setup for RWD cars that are able to launch better. even so, a 400whp rex with the proper setup should definitely run close to 9s!
Johnny from Pit Crew ran 11.1 in his all motor rex with only 227whp a few years back...

EDIT:
This one is more accurate http://www.rpmoutlet.com/dyno.htm

I entered my vehicle weight with driver 2200 and whp 204 and I got an ET of 12.8... Pretty close considering my fastest time was a 12.72
