That's quite a list you have there. I have beat people before but they didn't know I was racing them :-P hehe.

[KrNxRaCer00]

jus wondering wut times ur putting down w/ that?

because most of those cars are atleast high to mid 13's, NOT doubting at all (sorry if it sounds that way at all), jus am interested in if u've ran it at the track.

buddy had an ls/vtec and was putting down low 14's w/ simple bolts an lsd tranny.

that setup doesn't sound like you should be making that much more hp than an ITR? how are you beating 13 second cars? All you have is a little higher compression and an enlarged throttle body over the R.


I'm not callin BS but I can understand beatin the 300z or even the cobra but how in the world could you have beaten those cavaliers???????

good job man. i raced a ls/vtec in my home town last weekend and i didnt start beating him till about 100 or so. the trans in your car makes a big diff. lots of torque. when u turbo u should be in the low 11's.

from what i know of lsvtec most of the problems occur from people not building their internals and overrevving their engines and breaking stuff that way. lsvtec and be plenty reliable as long as you do it right. if you have an lsvtec you will obviously be revving higher than a stock LS so people get ecu's without a rev limiter and end up revving too high, bending valves breaking other internals.

This is funny! I love BS threads like this one!

yeh...i sometimes dont believe it myself...but ive beaten 2 cobras...they hold their own...but im guessing its mainly because i dont have to shift quite as often as them...plus its a FORD mustang

well ive had a couple probs...but the only one that has to do with the swap is the head gasket...the guy that built my motor used a cometic gasket made for turbo'd cars...and mine is blown...so the head gasket is the main prob of ls/vtec's from what i have experienced and have heard

[tran_nsx]

heres a dyno and 1/4 mile of a frankenstein swap, it ran a 13.2. if done right it is a killer http://www.importreview.com/reviews/lsvtec.html

im not sure about my car...ive beat many cars which should definitely be able to beat me...maybe its all about the drivers...but i recently pulled on a civic with a built gsr (2.0) which should have blown me away...maybe its my transmission...i dunno...people may not believe me about the cobra's or any other cars that ive raced and beat...but i guess u gotta see it to believe it...i havnt had my car to the track yet cuz it was broken down without a tranny until the track was closed...but i do plan on taking it...dunno wut time to expect tho

[92teggsr]

I know LS-Vtec's can be pretty fast but I am not really buying this story. I mean some of the cars....ok but the Supra Turbo for example should blow you away. Those things come with 320HP and run low 13's. Your LS/vtec just with pistons and enlarged throttlebody is not gonna run with a Turbo Supra or a Cobra for that matter. I might become a believer once you show us a slip but for now I can't really believe this story.
