want to swap (with money) my engine for this beast thats in a civic, its fully built, race specs, im thinking it would be PERFECT for my type r...









id spend over half what my car is worth, lol

 

ok?

 

just the kind of response i was hoping for, would you spend over half the value of the car for a fully built engine good to 500whp?

think it would up the value of the car enough to warrant it? alot of speed heads where i live

 

i would just leave the R stock and enjoy her

 

and think i WOULD NOT enjoy my car with 500whp?

lol, which panet are you from?

 

X416 (me and most of everyone in the ITR thread)

 

if u want a fast car get it on the side for a project car.., keep the type r original

 

 

wow... i cant believe what im hearing... lol, ill wait a bit must be someone out there who wants/has a 500whp type r, lol, and can be slower for everyday driving


come on peeps, if i keep my type r ill want it much faster than it is now

 

Do it then.

 

Your car, your money being wasted. Use the money for track time.

 

no 'track time' for me but you think its a waste of money why? you think no one woulda pay me what i want for the car when im ready to sell it? lol, SPEED SELLS, heh heh

 

oh yeah i also have the option of swapping car and paying a difference, that'd be fun, lol

 

Well, that seems like all you care about. WHP numbers, street racing people in a straight line, etc.

Personally, I don't give a **** how fast my DC2 is in a straight line, I want to make it handle as good as it possibly can. So if I were you, no, I wouldn't waste that much money turning your car into an unbalanced, drag racing monster, I'd keep it as-is, one of the best handling, N/A FF cars out there, and throw the gigantic turbo into something else.

 

totally agreed...i would never spend that much money on some turbo motor. like others have said here save the money and use it for track time or spend it on other tasteful mods....heck use the money and get a lip for your car...

 

well said, i have to fully agree

 

well... lol, firstly my car handles better than stock poly all round upgraded bars all round lowered etc, secondly straight line isnt my thing at all do you really thing a turbo and piping will 'throw off' the balance of the car? lol, or is it the big figures that make you think so?

so ono one turbos their type r around here? LOL should be type RICE lol lol lol

First of all, I didn't say or imply anything about your suspension setup. I specifically said a gigantic turbo (to make 550hp I doubt he's running a low pressure, quick spooling small turbo) will make your car unbalanced.

When you get raped at an Autocross course by a N/A ITR with 300 less WHP than you, then we can talk about how "balanced" your turbo setup is.

There are plenty of turbo ITR's out there, but I don't approve of them. That shouldn't stop you from doing it though--if you want to do it, just do it, don't bother wasting your time with dudes on forums who are thousands of miles away

 

x100!!!

 

500whp B18C?? Do you have the time and money to keep it run? I don't really like fully built engine cuz they need time and money to take care every year. I have no idea why..

 

lol so all you guys wanna do is make the car look clean and lock it up for no reason? that right there is a waste of money thats like buying a 5000 chain and never wearing. if all you guys are into is just looks then why dont you go buy a LS and make it to a type r clone?. you will save alot more money like that.
me personally i would drop k20 into because i know the car is made for that and wouldnt go down as easily as a ls would

 

No. It may actually reduce the value of the car. You can do whatever you want with your car, but leaving it stock will maximize its market value.

And don't ask a question, and then argue with the answers people give you. If you only want one specific answer, then don't ask the question.
