[exman98]

this this forum is alomost empty anyway.
do we need a Mod to close all of the threads.


any way,
what do you guys think i would need to do to my little 98 civic EX coupe
to beat a 5.0 rustang.
i would like to keep my D16Y8 and strengthen the internals.
do you think a super charger would do the trick or would i need to turbo it

To beat a 5.0 with that motor i think turbo would be the way to go, with a front mount intercooler. But if you u r goin to do that with that motor, it might be a good idea to do some motor work to make it last.

well a stock 5.0 can go anywhere from 10.00 to 9.3 in the 1/8 mile and thats on street tires so.....

yeah you're gonna need some type of FI or it's not gonna be easy

You should turbo it and build up the block and head. Someone out in my neighborhood has a 13 sec. civic and I ran into it one day with my friend. All I heard, saw was turbo whine and him taking off. So they can be made fast.

It really depends on what kind of 5.0 mustang you want to beat... a stock one? a modified one?

Stock it wont be too hard, ide say some good driving bolt on's and a 50 shot should pull it off pretty easily.

Modified one...well this is where things get complicated and well If you want to beat a pretty decently modified one your deff looking into a turbo kit or motor swap or both.

i will not be putting nitrous in my car so i would need other means of power. i know with a smaller engine people normaly use a turbe but would i be able to make enough power with a supercharger.

You are going to need to run at least mid-high 8's in the eighth to outrun stock 5.0's. But also remember that there isn't going to be a lot of bone stock 5.0's rolling around at the races.
