Seriously just buy my car put 5K into it and run 9s all day. It is going to take 700hp to runs 9 in a FWD car where you can do it easily with 575 in a RWD.
650 is enough for 9s and again I’d rather run 9s in the del sol than anything else, besides 2 show cars I was the only del sol racing , I have a great platform as is a little more power set the suspesion up a liltte better and it should be possible
after you spend a fortune and break a ton of more parts, youll soon realize what everyone has been saying. good luck on your quest but its going to be the roughest road you go down
I already blew up 2 motors and a transmission in this car I’m well aware of what it takes to go fast, rwd is not the solution , it’s the easy button, fwd is what I have fwd is what I’ll build fwd is what I’ll go 9s in, I may be young but I have built and broke more cars than I can count, I know the nature of the sport and If I thought for a second hey I don’t think I can do this/ afford this, …well no I’d still do it. I see your point quick but we all have our own builds this is mine.
Gimme a holla if you need any help with the new build. I have some nice cams that would suit your motor.
I would love to see a Sol in the 9’s… you dont see too many of them on the track, let alone a super fast one!
same here let me know if you need anything…im not touching mine over winter so ill need a project to work on
I def will motor is coming out tonight and gonna take it over to Chris
lolz sounds like my IRS problem…maybe i should go fwd.
sometimes he doesn’t understand that part.
Good luck with teh build. Mimic joes’ build and it will do high 9’s. ran into another drag civic at MIR who was running a 67mm turbo and was in the 9’s. Seems like 64-67mm is where you want to be and it will rip on good gas. not sure what you can get out of it with pump gas/meth injection. Joe was running E85 and the guy i talked to was on C16 I think
I have a 64mm I believe( need to check) and this year I was on 110 octane, like before on the small tires and 15psi it trapped 132mph, the car on high boost def had mid 10s aroud 140-145 traps this year just the head issue, the turbo I have is the exact same as joes except he’s t4 xl I’m s366 extended tip .70ar hotside, which the turbo will be good to whatever I can throw at it, time will tell what happens all I know is the car was fast as balls before the head started lifting, can’t wait to see what it’s like with a little more power and sticking together
Its a 66mm.
My turbo is the T4 .83 ar its not the XL (1.23)
If I were going to build a rwd car it would either be my m3 , or I’d buy an e46 m3 and horsepower freaks stage 2.5 turbo kit, however since I won’t be buying an e46 anytime soon or have like 30k laying around for that kit, I’ll just keep day dreaming about it and enjoy my Honda
i have seen multiple cars make 700-800whp with our turbos jason which is deep to mid nines territory for our heavy pigs
No joke…jenky??? I have never trapped at 152 like Joe but i have no problems getting stopped using the e brake and the pedal combo and my traps are around 140… untill i get my bugs worked out then 150 here i come
I’m finding with 9’s you need alot of safety crap that makes it hard to call the car a street car. Cant really enjoy the car at the track without all the safety stuff. You’ll need full cage, window net, flexplate/flywheel sheilds, and chute as you may trap 150 to get into the 9’s. I dont really want any of that on my street car but if the track dont let you run without it, its pointless to have the car. If your building a drag car then wont be all that bad
I just need to make a halo and dash bars, I have scatter shield, I’d need more
fore saftey equiptment and a chute, idk well see when the cars done how it performs. But mainly I’m going for a track only car, tho it is fun to have 500+ hp on the street the car is just so useless under 60mph and
still spinning till over a 100mph I’ll still probably take it out every now and then but main goal right now is track only
I had mine out on the street more this year than ever
BUY my edelbrock intake manifold
Is it b16?
yup 250 its yours
what model is it
