A modified b18c5 engine with spoon components thats built by Spoon. ITs really expensive man. I wouldn't even bother with it.

Would a spoon engine help you eat cereal faster?

You guys are too much.;) Like mellowboy said it is just a Honda motor modified by Spoon Sports. They take a b16a/b or a b18c or type-r and modify the motor for circuit racing. High compression and lots of revs.:) Too expensive and not really worth it for a street car in my opinion.

Yes but it's mostly for endurance racing. Not worth it for personal use really.

That movie was the biggest shit I ever saw! It ruined the whole import seen and the chance of clean looking imports not being called rice.

i hate the info on that movie. i still hear shit about double clutching, and they are all big guys so i dont wanna correct them in fear of getting my ass kicked. its funny that i can find something wrong in everything they say about cars.
do you know much guys out there think that you just have to push the button once, but hardly do they know you gotta hold it down, unless you using the full throttle way.
and for those of you who dont understand that part about pushing nos to early, and why its wrong. first you use nos from the beginning of the race, and not half way down teh track. second you dont just tap the button, you push and hold it down. especially when your racing for pinks

Are you sure? I always thought you sprayed in final gear because that is the one you accelerate in slowest...

yeah it'd be pretty hard to hold down the button and shift at the same time. nos is usually used towards the end of the quarter mile.

Do you know how quick you'd blow your engine if you used NOS at the beginning of a race?! LOL.

I know alot of ppl that used nitrous in the begining...like around 2nd gear. No u don't push and hold it down. You just flip the switch.

Bad nitrous ideas. Spray when the car is above 3000 rmp or else you will have a nitrous backfire that could ruin intake or it could blow your lid. Use nitrous in your highest gear at the strip or every gear but at a certain rmp range in every gear besides first. My friend runs 150 shot on his gsr with 18 pounds of boost. 2001 model with 12000 miles on it and it is already been rebuilt.

There r lots of different way to activate nos ... not just one heeh .. i guess u get some where u have to hold em down and others where u flick an arming button or somthing then hit a button ... or ones just with a button to press ....
I have seen one car at an american car show with the nos trigger under the gas peddel :) so when he pushed the gas right down the nos would activate.....
for 10g u could make a sweet car :) imagine spending 10g just on your engine ummmmmm

That's called the WOT sensor, wide open throttle. It actvites the nitrous system after you go to wide open throttle.

Zex kit is a WOT kit.Ive sprayed in all 5 gears, but above 3 grand on the tach. It WAY more noticable in 1st and 2nd that 5th gear.Havent blowln anything up yet.But i dont drive around with it armed all the time.I feel no need to prove how fast i am to all the morons that live around me. Too many riced out cars that think thier fast...always hittin me up.......

I see that you're talking about Spoon sport I like that firm very much, I looked at JUN and mugen too but for now my favourite is Spoon and next year when I'll modiffy my new engine (I'll buy a B16 ) all put in all stuff from spoon all engine will be spoon modiffyed...at least that's my next year plan ;) ...I 'm now barging for one B16 engine with all parts needed for swap and I'll tell you if I'll get it...but it's overheated one so all parts in must be changed that's why in first place I want to buy it...
