How much does it cost to put say a hatchback Civic in the 12's in the 1/4 mile including the cost of the car? I was reading over some stuff here and I was just curious how much $$$ that stuff took...

 

[DrEvil Voice] One MEEEEEELLLLLLLLION DOLLARS! [/DrEvil Voice]

 

it depends how u want to go about it... u can buy a hatch for lets say 2 g's... ill just take 2 examples... maybe a gsr motor (3500) and a turbo kit (3000) plus ull need an exhaust (500) prices being u do everything urself... that will net u 12's easily... or u coiuld go nitrous... which should be less than a 1g put in all correctly and taking into account refilling the bottle... those are 2 ways but in reality there are so many ways to do it... u just have to decide which route u want to go

 

LMFAO...good one.

Depends..do you want to go NA or FI.

 

don't go NA. it's not as cool as FI. trust me. i have a FI Hyundai. it's 11.2@150mph

 

"maybe a gsr motor (3500) and a turbo kit (3000) plus ull need an exhaust (500) prices being u do everything urself"

Add a clutch to that and some suspension work. (1,500$+) you won't get 12's on the stock suspension.

I agree with doing it all yourself. Thats the only way you learn (by breakin ****)

i don't think a gsr motor exclusively or a turbo kit exclusively will get you into the 12s... maybe both... the cheapest way to go would be to fabricate your own turbo, of which i know nothing about. i think bang for buck, you could do b18b turbo.
so say... I don't see the point of a vtec motor of you're goin FI.
$2000 for car
$2000 for motor swap
$1000 for home made turbo and misc stuff (this is a very generous estimate, people can do it for like 100 bucks)
a good turbo kit will cost you 3 grand or so otherwise.
i'm no expert tho, someone'll prolly correct me later.
someone on the FI board recommended that I read Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. i think it's like 25 dollars on amazon.com... still haven't read it but you might wanna look at that.

 

thats just wrong.....

anyway, heres my .02
stay away from the GSR dont spend an extra 1g on a engine when you dont have to. b16a second gen, throw a turbo on that some internal work and it will net 12's.
total cost with car = about $9,000

 

Under $3000.......

SOHC VTEC HB, Must be gutted!!!!!
add I/H/E and ZEX at 75-85 shot and slicks
12.99 will be easy if you can hang on.

 

too many variables involved....expect to pay around 7-10k

FYI, hb + gsr motor + turbo will NOT net 12's @ stock boost levels. (7psi)

 

This is for you (click)

 

Or you can go the N/A route.
complete b20vtec build-up plus tranny and all that good ****.....$4500-5500
hatch....$2-5k
suspension....$1k
gutting...free baby

 

what hyundai civic hatch boy?

 

hey wassup mista bone, glad to see u on this board. u've given me some really good info on the sohc's from the endyn board and also the hybrid board (although i haven't been there in a while).

 

Yes, I would love to know what Hyundai you have and what you have done to it.

BTW, I own HyundaiPerformance.Com, so don't spew bullshiet at me cause I'll shut you down.
