I just got my itr motor and want to get 230 - 240 whp, but try to keep it reliable , how can I do this?

 

Why do you want 235 whp?

 

Low boost small turbo setup is prolly your best route.

Getting 235 whp NA is going to cost you your first born child.

 

my goal is to run low 13s ,aybe 12.9 but the motor is going in a civic hatch

 

The FI or Drag forums may be able to better answer this

 

first step is to buy my comptech race header I am local by the way...

 

u dont need 235whp in a hatchcrap to run 13s. u can run 13s in a hatchcrap with a stock GSR motor.

BTW, there is no such thing as reliable when you are drag racing and beating the **** out of the car.

Do basic bolt on's and be happy. Anything else will snowball into a nightmare if you're not financially prepared.

Trade it for a used early NSX.

 

235 will net you a 12 second pass if you know how to drive...

 

why do people insist on posting on here like they want 800 whp yet reliable?

it sounds like they dont know what they are trying to get themselves into.

He said 235, not 800.

You can be reliable with 235, you just have to know what you're doing...and on what your definition of "reliable" is.

 

in all honesty.....everyone thats saying if you do more than bolt-ons be prepared to spend a LOT of money is absolutely correct. i know ive put myself quite in debt. but im doing it for the love of my car....i dont care about anything else. its like my drug...

 

type r stock in a 92-95 hatch will get you low 13's all day on slicks and mid to high 13's withought slicks. If you do upgrades like suspension intake exhaust header intake mani, toda cams, chip you will be in 12's without no question. but type r motor in a eg is very powerful, i have driven one and seen it its very quick for a (13.0-13.2) stock motor with intake, lowered, slicks, and 2.5" piping to a stock ls muffler. but thats with a good driver also. but all i know is its a beast and i would kill for a b18c5 in my eg with i/h/e and intake mani

 

235 will net you solid 11's if you're in a lighter chassis and have any idea how to shift, easily

if you want 235, you're gonna be doing a complete engine build...sleeves...bottom end..head...etc..etc..etc...

it's possible to do and be reliable...gimmie a week or two and i'll have my build posted...

 

kseries

I agree with bpr, if 235 reliable is your goal, low boost setup is probably your best bet.

I sense bitterness :sorry had to take it:

Hypothetical question, what if you only made 234.5 hp? Would j00 junk that hunker?

 

boost: blower, turbo

allmotor: built 2L bseries, or kseries.

take your pick. If done right, any of the above will meet your power goals.

Personally, I say do one of each and keep your stock itr motor in case you need a backup...

 

boost would be easy...

n/a wouldn't be hard

and a k swap would be the most work, cost the most money, and frankly be the least intelligent way to go about it.

 

k swap would be the most reliable however...

stock = reliable.
