im thinking about gettin into this v8 thing.....@18psi they can produce 1000+rwhp..on rods/pistons/crank...........they are cheap as ****....1100 for rods/pistons/crank balnced and all.......i think im sold..lol..dont hate me ...i still got a civic.....LOL

 

that what you get when you do a v8 + boost.

 

werd
alot of people buy hondas and work on them cuz its a good challenge to get power out of them

 

its fun to have a honda that fast, so many posers around. it seems like everyone wants to show you how slow your car really is.... then when you burn them they look real stupid.

Yup... fewer people pick races with guys in Vipers than me in my modded Honda I am willing to bet

 

heheh...thats what you say now...

Once you add up the costs of the standalone, drivetrain mods, and supporting engine mods, it will be like you just turbo'd 2 hondas.

 

Guy I know is building a mustang with a 308. It's not as cheap as you think. 8 rods, 8 pistons, block, crank, 2 heads, manifold, throttle body, 8 injectors, standalone, 2 manifolds and crossover pipe, PT91, water to air, plus tank, plus lines, all fuel plumbing and huge fuel pump, 7" air filter, 5" downpipe, etc.. but Precision expects him to make 1000rwhp between 14 and 16psi.

 

and your probably gonna hve to upgrade the rear end.

ill stick with my cheap honda's for now thanks

ill turbo a v8 when im rich muwhahahaha

 

most of those turbo v-8's are custom, and ain't cheap. goodluck.

5" downpipe! Damn.

 

turbos are not cheap for V8's. also if you get a mustang, all of their tranny's are weak as **** and fall apart around 500hp. Even the older cobra's tranny sucks. 03 and up tranny's for the cobras are stronger but the GT's are still weak.

 

whats the point of 1000hp? I bet you will run the same quarter mile as a honda with the same money invested.

 

Yeah don't be fooled. It's not NEARLY as cheap as you would think.

wrong.. wrong .. wrong..

mutangs T-5 manual tranny is made for ~260 ft tq.
it's the weakest link in the drivetrain, so is the rear end.
$1.6k for a nice tranny, and i forgot about the rear end.
$1.6k is for about 600ft tq. u can get cheaper automatic transmission called the C4.
AOD or automatics, are good because it loads torque at start. but u got to change it out with manual valve bodys, works great. (allows u shift auto like manual)

piston rods? all will go to waste. trust me. stock block can't handle more than 530hp! getting those tricks will jsut ruin it. i know i know. u will have a split block, i know i know. if you want to talk to me more about turbo mustangs, hit me up. stock block is weak! ask supercharger guys, they'll bust u for that one.

blocks are weak, but built block (as in dart, r302, blah) would rock!

i wouldn't put money into talking about same numebrs as hondas. I know a guy put same effort as another friend of mine, who has a 11.00 civic. he hit 9.990 at 1xxmph in his foxbody mustang on slicks.

almost. u can actually run a chipped mustang to 590hp. proven, just MAF upgrade and chip and injectors and some lil ****, you'll hit 10s no problem.

a mustang guy, i met hit 11.00 with JUNKYARD t3 turbos from Tbirds, and some other ghetto ****. using 8x 370cc injectors and supporting mods, like chipping fuel pressure regulator, etc.

it's tru about drivetrain mod though.

1000hp is alot of work, same would go into a honda going 700hp, but it's pretty ez hit 10s with V8 and turbo though.

i can get stock 302 blocks (mustang) for 50 bucks. and other parts for even cheaper. it's because it's not IMPORTED, that's why it's go cheap.

are you sure?

SORRY FOR MILLIONS OF POST PEOPLE! - i'm a honda guy but it's good to know other things, and if your a car person, like me, u defend both sides

 

I think they just all have displacement envy Nonono, you cant turbo your v8, cuz 700hp on pump gas isnt fair!

If you buy a kit, yes, it can get very costly. If you do it JY style you can build stuff for dirt-cheap. I helped me friend build a twin turbo kit for his 89 mustang with a 351W swap, with a big air/air intercooler, twin garrett TO4R's, and twin 3.5" downpipes it ran us approx. 3400 bucks, with 3000 going to turbos and intercooler. On his .030 over truck block with 7.5:1 JE's, eagle rods, canfield 212's, a blow-thru 850 holley and a lenntech with a brake hes gone 9.8's @ 140 on low boost and 26x10.5x16 e/t streets.

 

man i remember back during the summer there was a fox body running a tt setup and that **** was carzy fast i mean it just hauled *** would probley scare me to drive it...

 

turbo magazine had a turbo mustang a few years back. the car made more torque than hp. they had a hard time keeping the tranny healthy though. i would imagine at that kind of power an auto tranny would be the way to go and have it built,

 

Turbo Mustang &gt; Honda

There a handful of people going Low 9s\8s on Drag Radials...

You'll go faster than any honda...I'm going to start building a Turbo Notchback next year.

I'm a hardcore honda guy, but I realize I'm at the bottom of the foodchain when it actually comes to fast ****...Period.
