Default Rage Performance' civic in Cali, 725hp 0-60 in 3.5s - This setup doesnt look Capable IMO

Read this in a mag and it seems really unbeliveable
spec:

H22a engine

2157cc
Arias pistons
Crower Rods
Pro drive oil pump gear
Custom ported head
Custom T4 turbo.
1200cc injectors
STR fuel rail
Paxton 1kbhp fuel pump
Paxton fpr
Accel DFI gen 7 fuel managemet
Rage electronics custom fuel management wireing
Raycam heatshrink (wtf! lol)
Fluidyne rad
SX engineering intercooler core
Accord VTEC g-box
KTP LSD
Clutchmasters twin disk FX500

Heres the funny bits/bits that dont make sense....

Wheels & Tires
8x19" Racing Hart Evolution
215/35 ZR19 !!! lol dont think theyre gonna hookup well in the qtr
Pirelli P7000 tyres
Skunk 2 Long wheel studs (which suggests the use of spacers)

now it says in the mag that he pisses on skylines allday.

and I quote.. "As jason points out the qtr mile times this civic makes are stil deadly 'Our best run was 11.599secs at 131.84mph,' Reckons jason" - the bit put on the end suggests that no proof or slip was shown to the mag and if the mag does EVER have a car with a dyno theyll show it but I have known of a few cases where they highly exagerate figures.

What also makes me sceptical is the fact that a turbo H22a on this forum runs 10s no problem. And he aint pushing anywhere near that bhp.

Plus in the pic it shows 2x big bottles of NX brand kit. suggesting he might just have like X hp claimed to be added from the nitrous

The Reg is CLOWNNU blue VX.


What do you guys think? has anyone over there actualy seen this car in person? or seen it run?

Is this in the HCI magazine, where they followed the build up?? If so u should read it carefully and see that he kept the stock brake size, in order to still be able to fit slicks. Meaning that he doesnt run the car on the 19's!!! Also i think he admitted he wanted to reach a certain HP goal on a stock car. The reason for the nitrous, to push him over the 700whp mark. Hes simply pushing the limits.

The car is in a magazine, its not odd for cars to put on nice big rims for photo shoots, and slicks on the track or when they want to run. Does that sound odd to you?? doesnt to me?? This guy Jason, and Rage are really legends in the import performance scene. And are known for being extreme. So actually i wasnt shocked by this car, more so inspired

Sorry just bothers me when people assume that because u have big rims, ur not smart enough to switch them when u plan to race. He did something different, which he always has, and i love that. It is what we need more in this scene as a whole, performance and style wise.

ok ppl, I read this in Max Power magazine, a mag that is renowned for over-estimating figures, I was not poking fun at the heatshrink just intriged as to why it was listed. A bit of heatshrink is not somthing I'd be urged to list in an engine spec.
This wire harness must be somthing quite special, anyone got a pic I can see plz?

And from what you guys said I presumed he was using the Racig Harts for drag because of the times seeming very high for a 700hp machine and also the way the article was written..

"..but the Gleaming 19" Racing Hart rims try to spin like a breakdancer in a tumble dryer,
As jason points out the qtr mile times this civic makes are stil deadly 'Our best run was 11.599secs at 131.84mph,' Reckons jason"

So either he does use the 19"ers or most likely then, that hes got Drag radials buy the high capacity turbo engine being a 2.2 produces excessive torque to keep breakig traction

Please don't make suggestive assumptions, I made that mistake about the wheels the guy used which was pointed out. Through my single post you cannot conclusivley determine my knowledge of electrical consumables.

BTW: That is exactly how it is spelled in the magazine Raycam

Look for the HCI issue where the car was on the front cover. They did a feature and followed the build up of the car THats where im getting my information from. I cant stand MAX POWER magazine anywayz, and i see why now When i get home i will let u know what month it is, or go to there site and they might have the feature there. Then u will get a better since of how serious this car is

About Max Power

In England we regard it as the mag for adolescent school boy dreamers (overuse of ****)

They commonly over state things as they don't have their own dyno to prove anyone's claims.

However Rage's car is amazing, just a shame the mag it was doesn't know English and didn't represent the car for what it was

One thing I do want to know is what the engine gets without Nitrous

you guys should check out the vehicle for sale ads, this car is in there, and if dude has a problem with the setup, the owner posted the car so you can take your beef with him direct

WOW I cant believe people worry about this stuff so much ?????

First off let me THANK the people who anwsered this in a kind way for me. Next I will anwser the haters list ----

the car has never ran faster the 11.50's because the shop I own is busy and I dont travel to race my street car. It went 11.50's in FULL street trim at a street legal event near my shop in Fontana. The tech team told me not to go faster the 12.00 do to the cage in question of the sizes of the tubing. ( street legal events usually dont have alot of tech guys ) But i do have video's of me in that car ON THE 19's RACING CAR"S THAT RUN FASTER THEN 11.o's -- but that's probably still not good enouph.

the wheel and tire question --- ????? wow you must be new to the game. If you knew anything about the cars I build we ALWAYS go bling, no matter if the masses likes it or not. What I mean is when my CRX came out in 97 everyone hated it ----- ha ha ha now it's copied EVERYDAY. So the 19's were used for the reason i put in the 3 articles written for the car - DAZZ MOTORSPORTS is a very close friend of mine and wanted the wheels to get some press ----- i.e. ME. --- understand ?

pisses on skylines ??? ya and, if you are familiar with MAXPOWER magazine then you would understand the whole article. If not let me help

1 - if you look at the first picture IM IN IT IN TWO DIFFERENT OUTFITS ???
2 - the skyline on the issue before beat me out for the cover !!!!!
3 - i am in the process of buying a car for a guy from MAXPOWER --- a SKYLINE.
4 - and the headband they made me wear should suggest they are a bit off beat

0-60 **** they made that up --- call them and ask them that one ??

there's also a qoute from HITLER in my spread --- call them again ??

and as for the rest of the questions --

the car is a 93 civic si not vx. its not blue its gsr purple. the turbo = t72 Q trim dual ball bearing, call someone and ask them if this will make that power --- the intake manifold is not the one use for the photo's --- we use a much bigger one

the CLOWN N U lic is becuase that's a little joke for all the shitty lookin street cars around my area that think THIS SET UP bla bla bla

the NX is used and ?????????????? if you read the HCI cover issue then you would have read it in there.

more than one car on this site can run 10's with less power im sure. this car was not built to run the races every weekend --- its to drive around town. this car was built for the track

ott ?

haters will never rest or i would post dyno sheet and time slips but im sure people would then say they were fake.....

Raychem is bad *** stuff. I use it on my harness and as a matter of fact Rage provided me with some of it. James Lin that does the wiring is a ******* wiring pimp. I have Raychem and custom wiring harness listed as one of my specs too because not everyone can afford to use it.

Right firstly I have to admit that that wireing harness does look badass the guys even coded the injector wires with cylinder numbers and its very neatly laid out on the carbon fibre panel. Damn proffesional job I like that kind of pride in ppls work, it shows you're serious.

And Jason that CRX look f*cking awesome!
For your civic the magazine is what made me doubt; they're as mentioned previously adolesent teen car mag, Ive seem motors in banzai like skylines at 6XXhp then Ive seen them on the cover of Max Power with 1000bhp so forgive the sceptisism. I bought the mag because a friend pointed out that there was a minted civic hybrid in it havent seen HCI mag anywhere. I had a good look around too, If anyone can give me a link to their site where I can order a copy Id greatly appreciate it.

Jason, not hating on you but from the notes ppl are chiming in about your company it seems you develop some minted rides; sorry for any doubt I had.

Couple of questions for you though, what did you do with the balance shafts?, Was the Custom T4 listig in spec a mistake? (wouldnt surprise me with maxp)

and What hp does it produce with the nitrous?

skylines in stock trim arent all that impressive. Obviously they have alot of potential, but stock they are nothing special IMO. I should know I have raced a few. Their track times are pretty dismal for what u would expect out of them.

wow, that is expensive.....

I use 3M heat shrink from a local electronics supplier and that stuff is 1.99 for 3 feet of 1/8. Why is Raychem heat shrink so much more expensive compared to 3M?
