Prelude vs Integra
Well, today after I got back from my friends house I was just cruising around and I saw this sick yellow Integra SiR sitting at the lights. It looked like it had quite a few mods on it like a tanabe exhaust because i saw the tanabe logo on the tip of the exhaust, intake, blow off valve,(which you could hear), body kit, and lowered suspension and i'm pretty sure 17" rims.
So anyways i pulled up beside him and i hit the gas a bit to let him know i was there, so on green i squeeled away but i looked back and saw him casually drive away so i kinda followed beside him for a bit until we got to this long stretch of open 3 lane road, so then he started reving and on a green light we were both gone, it was neck and neck for a little bit, but then i heard this massive explosion sound and a huge "woosh" of air and he took off like mad. I honestly almost started crying not because i lost the race, but because of how amazing it sounded when it happened and how fast he took off when we were already going about 80 miles an hour. Whatever he had in his car i wanted it, but i was so far behind after that i couldn't catch up for a while to ask him what he had so i just let him go. Does anyone know of something that could make your car do this other than an obvious bottle of nos? lol

Yeah wouldn't that be a Type-R ... ?
Oh and I thought Turbo's when they kicked in it wasn't till the max RPM that the B/v released? ... err unless they have a hybrid setup, then it wouldn't be as loud... I'm thinking Nos, though I very well could be wrong.

a turbo can spool up at very diferent rpms....depending on the turbo and load......a small turbo will spool up much faster but run out of steam at hight rpm while a big turbo will do the oposite...... also when going uphil or towing something the turbo will spool up due to the load on the engine and the resulting high volume of exaust...... also please stop calling nitrous NOS.....NOS is a brand....you'll get flamed if you keep calling it NOS.......refer to it as N2O or nitrous......

i am positive there is no such thing as an integra SiR. if it was a type R, this guy would not have put a sticker on there like that. the car was probably turbocharged (and was not pushing it until really late in the race). what kind of spoiler did this car have? did the guy have a sunroof? i am not going to ask about the 5-lug or anyother body-mods because they are ones you really have to look for. also, how can the car have an intake and a turbo? hmmm

My question for the thread-starter is what the heck was the explosion sound?? A backfire? Niether a turbo or nitrous makes an "explosion sound". Not on their own anyways. I guess they could both cause the car to backfire if it was tuned improperly, but other than that I'm at a loss as to how they can cause a big bang sound. Turbo's make a whistling/sucking/SPOOLING sound, while nitrous make no sound at all. The engine RPMs will increase at a quicker rate, which is noticeable if you're paying attention, but other than that there is no sound.

I'm not sure at all what could have caused the explosion sound, thats what I was trying to find out by asking if anyone here knew what made a sound like that.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't a backfire either, it didn't sound like a backfire and I think I would know cuz when one of my friends first bought his civic he did something horribly wrong to the engine and it backfired at low rpm's if you floored it. It sounded crazy though, like it was meant to happen to give the car power or something because as soon as it happened his car took off.
