Default What is the most reliable but not expensive way to hit 12.999 in the 1/4 mi?

and without using n2o! I am thinking of selling my hybrid accord and getting a civic with either a built H22a, or turbo h23, or SC'd B18c1... but what would get me into the 12s, and keep my car reliable for daily driving? any suggestions?

Thanks.

12s are easy

I plan on hitting it at my next race in a few weeks

Here's my setup:

92 CX hatch
Skunk2 coil overs
No rear seats/rear seatbelts

00 B18C1
Place Racing rear solid engine mount
AEM CAI
Skunk2 intake manifold
Skunk2 ECU chip
DC sports race header
Quaife LSD
Action SR clutch w/Clutchmasters flywheel

M&H slicks on bogart drag on flys
13x8x22

12's...?

highly unlikely. People such setups are usually hitting MAYBEEEEEEEEEEE 13.7

h22 and a set of slicks. Pretty easy. b18c5 would do it too.

EDIT: I just now saw skunk2 IM and ecu w/race header....I guess on slicks and a perfect run you could do 12.9x or so

A b18b and turbo would be cheaper than any you listed and be in the 12's with slicks and the RIGHT driver. For daily driving, anything with boost needs more care than N/A.

he said cheap.

as far as hybrid dreams is concerned, it would b a fat chance in hell of hittin 12s with that setup, it wont yield high enough trap speeds. mid 13s at best.
