me and my friend have been arguing about this on aim.i wanted to know what nyspeed members thought.i told him that when you have a car with that much hp,built or not,stuff is going to break…
Built properly, it should be pretty reliable. The engine will need refreshed after a few years of DD I’m sure, but other than that, if you keep asshattery to a minimum, things should last well.
not babying it obviously…a summers worth of racing included…while dd the car…
agreed.
that is hard to argue with him tho scott, you own a dsm LOL.
Its not about the hp scott…its about the way you drive it, take care of it, maintain it, hp really has nothing to do with it scott.
The civic i tuned, Mindless drives his daily and at the track without any problems.
Its going to blow up.
Then i am going to laugh.
Only reasonably “correct” answer: It depends.
Would I try to make anything making 2.5+ times the factory horsepower my only means of transportation? Nope.
is the integra in question yours? If so doing 3 gear burnouts out of the SG parking lot without a tune (this is what i was told) is not going to help longevity.
With out a tune!!! innovative tuned me at the end of last year bud. I said i SHOULD retune, becouse i would make the most power out of my new setup with a retune…i have a tune. I dont NEED a tune at all.
Is it cool racing catilac vs. talon anybetter right in front of sg?? haha
I was told by SOME people you had no tune, which is why i stated “I WAS TOLD”
No one knew they were racing.
Dont blow it up until after i beat you :mamoru:
haha chill broski i ddint say YOU said it…i was just stating what i said is all.
And knwobody knew they were racing!?!? ha is that why a whole crowd of people ran out to the streets while scott and some random cadilac dig raced?? haha
Is this the same car that’s going to beat me? lol
race? what race?
wasnt a race. they were just driving
anyways…this thread isnt labled scspeed vs jt, its labled “built 400+whp integra gsr…reliable transportation?” so back on topic
No… your taking something that was never made for this purpose and boosting the fuck out of it, beating the fuck out of it… when you have power things break… sometimes they burn down too.
:picard:
beating the fuck out of it huh?..cuz you know me and yup… i beat the fuck outa my car eveyday. whatever im not getting into this…if you want to. call me and talk to me on the phone im not going to argue over somthing so stupid as this over the internet. As far as the thread BACK ON TOPIC.
I am on topic…
I am telling you that power = shit is eventually going to break
Every time i have seen you at SG you rice out in some way, doing pulls up the road over the bridge, taking cky for pulls, and the latest burnout, so yes from what i have seen you beat it, and everyone else there has seen you beat on it. I saw you blow up your previous motor, so you know first hand that modding a car = asking for trouble. It is fine and well to have a car to beat on and race, but not if its your only car. So in conclusion, if you cannot afford to push the car off of a cliff, you should not mod a car to that extent.
