Just got a H22 civic race car. Gonna run all motor, but working on a budget. Im use to playing with 8cyl engines but decided to cross over to the sport compact side... what and where should I start??

Car is a 89-91 style civic HB... tubed front, with JDM H22...

Ideas would be great...

THANKS

 

race header, upgraded suspension, and intake setup be it a ram air or individual throttle bodies. That light of a chassis should make for some quick times without breaking open the motor.

 

buy my itbs they are a great deal right now (see sig) and my race header...

 

would a ram air on the 4 cyl. be the same as a v8 ???

i realy dont know alot about them.

 

Euro R IM, Port match it to a 70mm TB, A nice Race header by hytech or someone, with some cams. That should start you off nicely.

pretty much...you'd just get a set of ITBs and run a Ram air box directly into them

 

Cant forget a race clutch and slicks either. Go with an unsprung hub clutch disk(6 or 4 puck) and get some 22x8 M&H slicks on some light rims. That should help you get some quick times.

 

I say go and get a bunch of seat time first, driving this VS driving the rwd v8's is going to take alot of getting used to..................John

 

love the username btw, heh

 

mullet???

 

Mullet??? hahaha... I dont think cause he has a V8 means he is a mullet, although.. with a camero shoulda called him self Joe Dirt.

Some good suggestions... I think it will be a decent platform to start on.

 

Intake
Header
Exhaust (if you want to run on the street)
Cams
Head Work
Pistons
Sleeves

That will put you in the 215-230 whp range and 11's with the right suspension and slicks.

Don't think he'll need the exhaust since it's a race car. Don't know of any tubed front street cars

We actually hit 11s without all those goodies. Just need some good tuning.

 

I remember you bro from somewhere. Where you on hondaprelude.com?
