boost PSSH boost said:baaaahahaha I remember the stock d15 in my civic. Half-ass dual point "fuel injection" that was one hell of a gutless motor. Then again, 2 weeks later I could drop the clutch in 5th and the clutch couldn't even kill the motor at idle.
I beat my d15 with a 12lb sledge hammer before throwing it in the metal scrap bin. Aluminum was like $0.70 per lb at the time....

Hit 190-200hp on one, and it hits the fan. literally. Chunks of connecting rod and block will hit your cooling fan.

All I wanna know is are these civics you're losing to Si? They better be, cuz that's the only way I can believe this, methinks.:biglaugh:87soup said:So i was coming home from class and i see a little hatch with a huge muffler hangin down to the ground, so i catch up to him and we were rollin about 15mph then he went... I couldnt catch the bastard if my life depended on it!
Then about 3 streets up another civic, this one was one of the old 4doors... I f*ckin lose to this guy too!
No i know what your going to say... "You dont have turbo"... "You cant drive"...
F*CK that!!! I CAN DRIVE!!! "I LOOK FORWARD TO TURBO"!
I have cold air intake (not that short ram crap), HKS sport exhaust cat back system, plugs/ wires, a short shifter...
How do i smoke these civics in my N/A?
Amen x 10!!! I've never had these problems and my auto tranny sucks balls!:runaway:Nick M said:I would be embarrased if any of the dozen or so Civics or GSR Integras came close to my back bumper.
Get your cars fixed.
I only call bs if the civic isn't Si. Those'll kick any stock N/A's ass off the line and rolling from 40-60mph. I've found (for mine N/A anyhow) that my N/A's strength lies in the 70-100mph range. That's about the only time my A340E is of any real use!00Si87Supra said:What are you calling bs? A 160 hp Civic beat a NA? Not so much bull when it has an awesome powerband for it's weight..Now the turbo beat me off the line. At 60 mph, I was right there in the powerband. Being in the city shutting down at 90 mph and having my front bumper next to the door, is pretty good for a stock Si vs stock turbo mkiii
:dunno: Never heard that one before...I'm pretty sure they're still I4's. My buddy's is supercharged at 12psi though...jesus does that thing rip. 28fwhp in a car that's ~1000lbs lighter than ours is QUICK. REALLY quick. ALSO, it has the MKIV transmission in it :evil2: Getrag 6-spd FTW.Cya said:Dosen't the SVT Focus have the mustang V8 now? Just a rumor I heard.
Turbo. Targa. Life said:28rwhp
