Would this car run 12s or high 11's?
I'd start with a Civic Si shell - get a Dart Heads B20 (Honda aftermarket crate block) Block and head (240 horses to the wheels in stock if you go with 'The Beast'), add some performance Cam shafts and gears, headers, dual air intake, a high flow catalytic converter, with dual high flow mufflers from say arospeed or Greddy, a Vortech Supercharger, OR a Jackson Racing turbo running at 12 PSI, a weighed and balanced crankshaft, a GSR gearbox, the lightest but fattest 5 lug (after a 5 lug conversion) fwd rims I can buy (I think BBS has 5 lug FWD rims) 18X8.5 with track wideners to make the wheels stick out more, a fuel injection tweak of like 2.5 more gallons per hour at wideopen throttle, carbon fiber hood and trunk lid, back seats removed and everything on the car's interior from behind the front seats back is all stripped, WOULD THIS CAR RUN 12's or high 11's with a fairly skilled driver (not great, but not slow either)?

You wont get very far when those tires go flat from being sliced. If you goin' for performance, 18's is about the last thing you want - more like 14's
When did Jackson Racing start making turbo's? |

Jackson Racing was the first to start making turbos for hondas - all the way back to the CVCC's of the 70s.

How would the wheels get sliced?

Re: Would this car run 12s or high 11's?
you can't fit anything wider that 7in on a honda with out it rubbing so think about 8.5 for a second. And larger diameter wheels are bad for accleration. you want like jackassi said small like 14 in. And another thing I hope you have another car to drive around cause this one is goin nowhere other than a track. Ther are far easier ways to run a 12 sec quarter mile than all that crap. A lot of sounds like you half listened to someone who knew what they were talking about from across the room and then shit it all out into this post to try to sound cool. But that is just the vibe I get from it.

Who said I wanted to run slicks dip$#!t - slicks aren't legal in Cali due to our erratic weather and overabundance of lazy people who wouldn't change back to regular road tires if it started raining. I want it to be street legal. Also - in that issue - about the dual air intakes bit - look on page 71 at the Top Speed ad towards the bottom - notice the air intake that's got the two filter elements and the thicker piping? If you don't feel stupid now after being defeated on three of your criticisms you can only be retarded which wouldn't surprise me after looking at that picture of your ugly mom in your avatar. If I were a betting man, I'd bet that your a relative of the Louisiana Mud Dogs' (from the waterboy) defensive coordinator. Seriously, Ricochet and JCRX, you guys are hurting these forums with your impulsive habits of trying to criticize someone without second thought or hesitation over bull$#!t and then to top it all off, you end up looking like a moron to anyone with half a brain or more when they politely tell you (if you give them the luxury of telling you politely - which you never did me hence the reason I could care less of your opinion about me, and my constant 'flaming' of you) exactly what they meant, or were talking about. |

next problem, there is NO need for dual mufflers on a performance engine with only one bank of cylinders another problem, if you are going to do turbo, THEN NO HEADER yet another problem, 18x8.5's... come on man, even if you get "track wideners" btw, who the F calls them that? they are wheel spacers! then all you will have is wheels hanging WAY out of the wheel wells, do you plan to turn this car when you get to the end of the drag strip or will you just run it on down to the end then have it towed away? Are true slicks legal on the street in ANY state?! Not as far as I know... Cali has tight emissions laws, how the hell do you think that set up will pass them? If you are going to be an ass to people that frequent this forum then I hope you are banned, and with a quickness. Think before you post.
