Beat a Z06.

Good race. Only caught traction going in third. I love there reaction when they see civics smoke their 30K car.

What's your setup?

i call BS until there are some details here....

What's your setup?
Yeah. Sounds fishy.

Ain't nothing fishy. He ran 13.9's on the track. I run 12.5. No bull here boys. Maybe he doesn't know how to drive. His 02' Z06 is stock. But I won. My setup is 99 type r turbo. Straight T3, 5 pounds of boost tuned on Hondata S200. 370 Rc injectors and some other stuff in the motor. Car only has 2 seats. rest of the panel are out. Is it really that hard to believe? Low boost high compression go good hand in hand. Oh car only dynoed at 230whp and 160 torque.

lame...setup and story

i dont care anymore

what ever dude. your opinion doesn't matter. I'll post my timeslip up soon. Just keep hoping for 350whp. Lets see what you got? No bench racing now. Stock block gsr's that make 350+ are dime a dozen. Your nobody special "Advisor"

Don't come in here bashing anyone it will not be tolerated. Throw up your slips and you got yourself an argument till then some of us will call :bs:

A few things to go along with that....

1. If my opinion doesnt matter, why are you making it such a big deal then?
2. I'm no longer hoping for 350whp....i'm actually in the process of testing a new turbo for Speed Trap Consulting...it is a very responsive, quick spooling hybrid turbo (real hybrid....wheels and everything are mismatched), but it should be a monster when its done :D
3. Stock block GSRs making 350whp+ are not that common....you go find me about 8 of them making that kind of power on pump gas with nothing internally done (including ARP studs) and i'll recant this statement.

Your original post lacked any detail, not even a list of mods. Lots of newbs come here with claims like this, 99% of them are BS. I'll reserve comment till I see proof. Pics and vids go a long way, but a timesheet would give you some credibility. We'll know if you post a vid of someone else's car.

...until then everyones dick-waving and claims of "my turbo is bigger than yours" are somewhat amusing but absolutely useless.

considering the very light weight of the civic ( according to the car in your profile and year) they weigh what maybe 2200 lbs or so...and if you dynoed 230 at the wheels i would actually believe you being an 02 z06 ( ~400hp 3100lbs)...prove the masses wrong. offer some proof or your just some internet troll...

Actually there are probably tons of turboed Civics doing 230whp - but that just doesn't seem like enough horses to run a 12.5, even in a 2000lb car. If it is enough, you'd really have to know how to drive it to pull a 12.5...especially the launch...which makes me wonder why he couldn't get traction until 3rd gear when he raced the vette...

but oh well, anything can happen on the street. There's always the possibility that the other guy is an idiot driving daddy's car...

i'm not doubting any of this is possible; however, i doubt a 2000lb car w/ 230whp is going to run a 12.5. It is entirely possible for a nicely setup boosted Honda to beat a Z06. I have no doubt about that.

What kind of dyno did you get those numbers from?? That could make a big difference too....

"my turbo is bigger than yours"

also i believe this was in reference to me....it doesnt matter the size of the turbo, it needs to be properly sized to the car. The comment i made was not to show that my new turbo is physically larger that his, but that i'm now getting one that is going to be a perfect match to mine...

Also to the OP, if you're ever interested in making more power, we might be able to talk....LETS SEE SOME PICS ALREADY

Aye ladies, none of this bickering.

808 - Lets see some details and don't mock other members.
The rest of you - Let's watch the tones, huh?

Keep it friendly.

So heres my best timeslip....http://a128.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/21/l_508238a09b519042a921604f0ebb8067.jpg

heres the dyno sheet.(Note: motor was in a 98 type r) at the time. everything stayed the same, I just changed the manifold.

Is that good enough...I trying to get some videos of my car a the track from my friend. Raced the car all season last year. Started in feb06 running 13.5's ended the season in Dec06 running 12.5's. I am using lensos with 24.5 @ 10 psi. I swear I'm running 5 psi. I want to up the boost this season, but not to much Hondata tuners out here. So ya see, when I took the motor out of the teg. I did'nt mess with the settings. I guessing it dynoed 230 @ 5psi. Trust me, I want to go little higher, but I need someone to tune it. Type r's can only handle so much boost before you blow. The turbo is really efficent, so the car spools up around 3K. The car barley spikes to 6psi. I'm runnin daily driven uncapped. If you want more request let me know. I not here to bash, but when guys doubt you, you take it a little personal. because in your mind you know your right.

what do you mean Detail? That's all you need to know. newb...I probably been in this game before you. I just came to this site for advice on my nissan truck. I did'nt really expect all this bickering. I'm on Honda-tech, Nwp4life, and go check out speedhawaii.com. I'm there. All my Screen names are 5psi.
(P.S. I not gonna post some video of some other car, c'mon I'm not a internet racer dude.)

I think I had all season to practice. 1.7 60 ft. 0.0xx reaction times. Dude the race with the vette was on the street. By the way what do you have? Just curious.

Hey guys check out redline808.com. There's some fast Cars under dyno proven. The guy rob owns the dyno. My friend jerome in their ran 9.6 consistent. 3 or more cars on that site will be in the nines. I'll be up there soon, when I re dyno. those cars are from the Big Island of hawaii.

peace

i cant see shit on that....can you get a better slip?

open your eyes...I'll try to rescan it. No need for bad words there buddy. Just suck it up.

hope this help guy, just in case car 112 match the number with my car.

Welcome to AF :smooch:

those are some nice 60' times....

what do you mean Detail? That's all you need to know. newb...I probably been in this game before you
Detail...like "Driving home from dis party las' nite, I stop at a red light. Dis haole in a Corvette pull up next to me and wen' rev his engine. So I shout "Geev 'um brah!" and it was on...". We want to be entertained.

"Newb" doesn't mean how much knowledge you have or how long you've been driving...it refers to the number of posts you have, which directly affect your believeability rating around here. It sucks to have some new guy go on about his V8 eating Honda only to find out it's BS. Once there's proof you'll get the respect that a non-BSer deserves...

Having said that...Nice car, brah.

...I have a 96 VTEC Prelude that's mostly stock as my daily driver. And a 90 CRX with a swapped B16 that's probably getting turboed after I pay off a few credit cards...
I've owned a few muscle cars...Camaro, Mustang...and a few other 4-bangers...at the moment I'm in Honda mode and believe all Honda cars to be infallible.

also i believe this was in reference to me....it doesnt matter the size of the turbo, it needs to be properly sized to the car

Naw...I didn't mean anyone in particular, and I shouldn't have paraphrased the word "turbo"...sorry. I was just referring to the direction the thread was going. I should have said "My shift-knob is bigger..."

I'm actually curious about your upcoming turbo project since I'm hoping to turbo my car soon - looking forward to your posts about it.

There will be plenty of pictures coming up soon once i get my new turbo from Speed Trap Consulting. We're building a one-off hybrid GT3255E...it should be pretty sweet, but wont look like anything special...:D It will keep everyone guessing

Well thanks for the compliments. Are you from Hawaii, I here a little pidgin in you. Well thanks anyways. (P.S.. How did you know he was a Haole?)

Shoots

those are some nice 60' times....

Thanks. I try to launch at 7500K. I don't have a two step yet. I was fortuanate to not break an axle all last season. I learned how to slip the clutch out the hole. Good luck on your setup.

Welcome to AF :smooch:

Thanks dude. I was watching your video of your srt. Sick, It must be fun running on a nice track like that. Ours is nothing special, but I guess beggers can't be choosers. Peace

I found a video of me doing 13.0 in the mid season. check out my friends other videos too.

Just guessing. Yeah, my parents are from Lahaina but they came to the Mainland in the 60's. I have a lot of relatives on a few of the islands.

Cool vid - couldn't tell what kind of car were you running against?

Farfrumpuken - LOL.

Nice. Its just we get a lot of "BS-ers" around here. But you backed up your claims.

Welcome to AF 808.

I was running with my friend phillip. He has a 4 door gsr turbo with a type r front end. He should run 10's this year. New turbo and boosting about 30psi. peace
