Default I had a run in with a euro-r equipped lude today- With weight reduction, questions on capability?

Well, I was at nopi in forest park today and as I was leaving, I saw a white 00 lude with wwrs lip kit come flying up on me, I pulled into a gas station to get gas a mile away and so did he. So as were pumping gas, I compliment his ride and ask what he has done to it. He said he had euro-r accord motor and tranny, and He had cf trunk, sunroof, and hood, racing seats, no backseat and some interior mods etc and other small things. I looked at his engine bay it was spotless with the blue valve cover. He asks about my ride, I tell him, we both compliment, I pay for gas and leave, He follows and what do ya know he goes for the pass and I dropped it and he beat me by two car lengths . This thing was really fast, for lack of mods which makes me believe he really had euro-r accord and tranny. I must say, I have been inspired. Could someone tell me what the 1/4 time may be on a 2700 pound fifth gen with accord euor-r motor and tranny?(estimate) I have been planning on going all motor with serious weight reduction. Thanks

I euro-r motor would have a Red Valve Cover. I would have been better if you had gotten A) the engine code, B) the tranny code C) checked for a Single Runner IM.

He seemed like a respectable guy, I was more amazed at the car as a whole, so I just figured he wasnt lying(especially with amount of money invested) and ive ran many sh and base ludes, and never had one na leave me by more than a car length, If it wasnt euro-r it definately had built internals/ because he didnt have any visible aftermarket parts on the engine. Btw- Would a 2700 pound fifth gen with accord euro r tranny and engine run 13 with good driver?

For all he had done it better way less than 2700 (depending on fuel). With only interior trim from the trunk out and that bar thingy behind the front bumper out and with a somewhere between 1/2 and 1/4 tank mine was weighin in at 2740.

Im interested in this Accord Euro R swap. Not the color of the valve cover.

Anyone here know someone who has completed swap? Results? Dyno Sheets?

I Never said, his weighed 2700, nor did I say it was suppose to be blue. I just wanted to know what a 2700 pound euro r equipped lude runs in the 1/4 for my own interest. But nevermind **** it. BTW- the accord sir has a blue top.
