Default B16 Turbo Tires and ET:s

Im new here at the Honda TEch forum, i live in sweden and are active on the swedish http://www.hondaklubben.com/forum homepage and drives a Honda Civic VTI - 92 B16A2 engine.

Here's a picture of my car, pretty old one, but with nice Rota Slipstream 16" rims



I have just gotten at turbo kit for it:

It's a modified Drag Gen 3 kit, lot's of the original pieces in the kit is changed for better things.. the turbo is exchanged for a better that follows upp all the way up to 12000 rpm if i would like to.

I will copy in pics on the kit later. when i follow up this thread.

This is how it looks right now:



And here are the Specified facts on the car right now:


AC
ABS
Momo Start Seat
Dc Sports 4-2-1 race header
2" Exhaust Pipe to a 3.5" Revotec pipe
Aem Cold Air Intake with Revotec filter
Pivot Shiftlite
17" PCW Elite Rims
Skunk2 lowering springs
Yellow koni Adjustables
Hondata intake manifold
Frontlip ( some german **** )
rear wing/spolier also some german scheisse..


Questions i have now is how will i be able to get hold of good tires, because they are IMPOSSIBLE to find in sweden..


i want tires in sizes 22*8*14" that would be perfect! or maybe 15"

Slicks is ok..

The kit im drivings is tested in a measuring bench and my engine will have 250+ hp in the engine and about 210 HP on the wheels. with 0.5 bar boost, not quite sure how much PSI that is.


Weight on the car is 1080kg with me in it.

does anyone here have a slightest idea on what ET:s i could be running?

low 13s ? even lower with slicks ? i have driven it in N/A and reach at best 14.6 @ 402m


* clueless *

I would think 13's would not be a problem for you. 12's are even possible with slicks and maybe drag radials. I am not sure on what kind of traps you will get out of it but I would imagine it would be around 95MPH+.
BTW .5 bar=7.25 psi

Also get an exhaust (60mm at least) and a high flow cat

"Also get an exhaust (60mm at least) and a high flow cat "

That's already taken care of it will be so sweet!

im gonna drive with 2.5" exhaust pipe from the turbo...

Updates will arrive in this thread along as time comes and i have put the car into the garage!

Soon we have winter here in northern Sweden :/ 7 months, next time i'll drive my car it will be April or May.

Can u tip me on places to buy tires, and/or do u know anyone who can send them to me as a gift ? or something like that, it's emtremely expensive to ship tires i guess becaus of the size and weight...
